GUIDs in ASP
Here's a useful tidbit of ASP code to get a GUID (Globally Unique ID)…with thanks to my buddy Elton:
' Some useful variables
DIM TypeLib, UserGUID, guid
DIM TypeLib, UserGUID, guid
' Create the appropriate object
' Note that Scriptlet.TypeLib should be installed
' on any IIS machine
Set TypeLib = Server.CreateObject(“Scriptlet.TypeLib”)
' Grab a GUID
guid = TypeLib.Guid
' Extract the useful portion of the GUID
UserGUID = left(guid, len(guid)-2)
' Release the object
Set TypeLib = Nothing
' … from here, you can use the variable UserGUID
' as you see fit.
