Question

I assigned some value to object data type like,

object objData =dc.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["objectGUID"].Value;

this object retun the value like {byte[16]}
[0]: 145
[1]: 104
[2]: 117
[3]: 139
[4]: 124
[5]: 15
[6]: 255
[7]: 68
[8]: 142
[9]: 159
[10]: 208
[11]: 102
[12]: 148
[13]: 157
[14]: 179
[15]: 75

Then i casting this object to byte[], like

byte[] binaryData = objData as byte[];

It will also return like,
{byte[16]}
[0]: 145
[1]: 104
[2]: 117
[3]: 139
[4]: 124
[5]: 15
[6]: 255
[7]: 68
[8]: 142
[9]: 159
[10]: 208
[11]: 102
[12]: 148
[13]: 157
[14]: 179
[15]: 75

Then i convert the hex values from byte[] like,

string strHex = BitConverter.ToString(binaryData);

It will be return like **91-68-75-8B-7C-0F-FF-44-8E-9F-D0-66-94-9D-B3-4B**..
But i need the output like GUID format, How can i achieve this?

Answer 1

How about using the Guid constructor which takes a byte array?

Guid guid = new Guid(binaryData);

(You can then use Guid.ToString() to get it in text form if you need to.)
