Missing Create GUID in Visual Studio Enterprise 2017?

Question

Where can I find Create GUID options in Visual Studio 2017?

I'm using Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 Edition and I'm not finding the Create GUID options from the Tools menu.

Answer 1

Please follow troubleshoot section in this documentation. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/33047.create-guid-tool-in-visual-studio.aspx

If the tool does not appear under the Tools menu, click Tools > External Tools (see image above). It may be that the tool was not registered correctly within the IDE. Using the External Tools window, we can add a reference to guidgen.exe.

Answer 2

Mine was in Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0 instead of the Microsoft Visual Studio

Under c:\\program files (x86) there are several MVS folders and each with a Common7 folder and some with Tools folder.

In one of then guidgen.exe is hiding.

Replace the links from Tools -> External Tools -> Create GUID, for example in my case

c:\\program files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\\Common7\\Tools

这已经很晚了但是现在随着VS.NET内置的C＃REPL或众多的在线REPL，一个新的guid只能远离一行C＃：

Guid.NewGuid();
