Hi,
I'd like to create a Guid constant and the following doesn't work (Cannot
implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Guid') :
public const Guid MyGuid = "{ccae2079-2ebc-4200-879d-866fc82e6afa}";
Ideas?
Thanks,
Erik 7 21950
Should be a constant
public const string MyGuid = "{ccae2079-2ebc-4200-879d-866fc82e6afa}";
or just declare a public variable
public Guid MyGuid = new Guid("{ccae2079-2ebc-4200-879d-866fc82e6afa}") ;

Only value types can be declared as constants. A Guid is not a value type. But
you can declare it as a static readonly.
public static readonly Guid MyGuid = new
Guid("{ccae2079-2ebc-4200-879d-866fc82e6afa}") ;

Thanks.
Well, that kinda bites :(.
I was hoping to use it in a custom attribute (which doesn't like the public
static readonly), I'll just have to use the Guids in string format.

And also two reference types the null type and string

One correction: you state that a Guid is not a value type, which is wrong. A
Guid is in fact a value type.

Guid *is* a value type; from .NET SDK:
[Serializable]
public struct Guid : IFormattable, IComparable
I think you mean only build-in types can be const. The SDK states only these
types can be const:
byte, char, short, int, long, float, double, decimal, bool, string

Still a newbie to C#. How do I declare a Guid as a constant?
public const Guid GUID_BLUETOOTH_HCI_EVENT = new Guid(0x850302a, 0xb344,
0x4fda, 0x9b, 0xe9, 0x90, 0x57, 0x6b, 0x8d, 0x46, 0xf0);
gives me the following error: "The expression being assigned to
"...GUID_BLUETOOTH_HCI_EVENT" must be constant"
String and array initializers give me trouble also.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
