I would like to define/generate a GUID (interface class) for my test driver. What is the best way to do that 'programatically using C/C++' so it won't conflict with other devices/drivers in the system?

Also, are there a开发者_StackOverflowny standard guidelines to follow or other things to keep in mind while creating a new GUID?

Please suggest.

Use a GUID generator. There is one bundled with Visual Studio. In 2008, it's under Tools > Create GUID.

CoCreateGuid is the Win32 API that does this using randomness sources including your network adapter.
