I am looking for advice or solution for creating a Unique ID. Basically I need to record a transaction id whenever my SOAP applications shake hands and I was unsure as to the best solution.<br />

Anyone got any ideas, or examples

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
