Guid generation - .NET Framework

In VB.net you can

dim aGUID as System.GUID
aGuid = Guid.NewGuid()

Hi,
I need to know how to generate a GUID programmatically. Ibasically want to use the guids as a property of another
object...I will be converting them to strings. I am not
planning on using this guid as anything more than a 128
bit random string generator. Thanks in advance for any
help.

Thanks Scott,
I am doing it in C#, but I just needed the FCL class to
call, looks like System.GUID is the right one...Yup, works
like a charm. Thanks for the info.
