Is it possible to create identical guids in one application
Guid id = Guid.NewGuid();
Technically, yes. A created Guid looks for example like this:
That means 32 chars that can be a letter (26 possibilities) or a digit (10 possibilities)
That means 36 posibilities per position for a total of 36^32 that is approx. 60 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000.
That means that if you create 2 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 Guids every millesecond (which is impossible), you will on average get the same guid created twice one time, and all the other guids will be unique.
So in practice. No 😉
