Help Converting a String Value to a GUID

[jmoore2026]

I have a form which holds values formatted as GUID's. When the form is submitted the selected value from the drop down list is inserted into a SQL table and should hold the uniqueidentifier value type. However because the value from the form is a string i am having trouble matching data types...

Does anyone know how to convert a properly formated string to a guid.

Here is the actual code where the parameter is being set up for the stored procedure.

VB Source Code
addVideoDA.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@zoneid", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier).Value = SelectZoneID.SelectedValue

I am fairly new to asp.net and could use all the help i can get.

Thanks in advance
Jeremy

Try this:

addVideoDA.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@zoneid", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier).Value = New Guid(SelectZoneID.SelectedValue)
