In unit testing, how to Assert if result is Guid?

.net, assert, c#, unit-testing

Solution

Why not shorter one? `TryParse` returns bool.

Guid guidResult;
Assert.IsTrue(Guid.TryParse(result.GuestId, out guidResult));

your idea seems to be legit. You are checking if string parses to guid, so you can tell if string is valid guid.

Problem

I am working on unit testing using visual studio unit test framework In my unit test method, I want to assert if the result is a Guid like `3C99A192-9844-4174-AC32-91976A5F2CBF`. Currently, I have come up with this. But I am sure there will be a better way to handle this. ``` [TestMethod] public void CreateAppointment_Should_Return_Guid() { string result = CreateAppointment(); Guid guidResult; if (Guid.TryParse(result.GuestId, guidResult)) { Assert.IsTrue(true); } else { Assert.IsTrue(false); } } ```
