What was that format string again? You know, the one for the GUID where you only output the guid, but with no formatting?

using System;
public class GuidTest
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string[] guidFormats = {"N", "D", "B", "P"};
        Guid g = new Guid();
        Array.ForEach(guidFormats, delegate(string t)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("{0}:{1}", t, g.ToString(t));
        });
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

N:00000000000000000000000000000000
D:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
B:{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
P:(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)

That's right. Now I remember.

Edit: 1/8/2010 - I've forgotten again... Darn.

I should create a mnemonic device to remember this

N = Nothing

D = Dashes

B = Brackets

P = Parenthesis
