The GUID example on page 80 doesn't work. It says NewGuid is not a member of guid. I suspect it is because Thearon has not indicated what must be imported to make it work. Or, perhaps it worked under 2002, but not under VB.net 2003. I tried System.Guid, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas on this?

Page 80 of what book?

Brian,
  I'm sorry, I thought this forum was all about WROX's Beginning VB.Net Databases by Thearon Willis ISBN: 0-7645-6800-0, so I didn't mention the book's title, etc. I'm a newby here. Anyway, that is the book I'm referring to. On page 80, they have the code:
Public Class Form1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
    Private Sub btnGenerate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
      ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGenerate.Click
        txtGuid.Text = guid.newGuid.tostring.toupper
    End Sub
End Class

And I get the error:
D:\VB\guid\Form1.vb(73) : error BC30456: 'newGuid' is not a member of 'guid'.

I'm pretty sure that means I have to Import something, but I can't seem to figure out what. I tried:
Imports System.Guid
Imports Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents

but that doesn't fix the problem. I'm running under VS.Net 2003. Thanks for your inquiry.
