Creating a UNIQUE value

[David Pope]

I need to create a UNIQUE number similar to a GUID but all numbers. Does
anyone know of an algorithm or anything?

TIA,

Dave

RE: Creating a UNIQUE value

Hi David,

In case you are looking at how to create GUID, then the framework has a
class called System.Guid, which does this...

Very simple... Have a look at these links....for code snippets

http://www.csharphelp.com/archives/archive188.htm

In case you want to write / use algorithm for generating the number, then
check this link for code snippet in C#...

HTH,

Need any help, do post a msg back..


Happy Coding

Re: Creating a UNIQUE value

Hi David

How about System.DateTime .Now.Ticks

it gives you a unique number as long as the number is not created too
rapidily.....

just an idea....
