How to validate GUID is a GUID

When I'm just testing a string to see if it is a GUID, I don't really want to create a Guid object that I don't need. So...

public static class GuidEx
{
    public static bool IsGuid(string value)
    {
        Guid x;
        return Guid.TryParse(value, out x);
    }
}

And here's how you use it:

string testMe = "not a guid";
if (GuidEx.IsGuid(testMe))
{
...
}

See if these helps :-

1. Guid.Parse - Docs

Guid guidResult = Guid.Parse(inputString)

2. Guid.TryParse - Docs

bool isValid = Guid.TryParse(inputString, out guidOutput)
