How to create a Guid with all zero elements?

Question

How to create a Guid that all of its elements are zero. i.e. {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}. I could use:

Guid.Parse("{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}")

But is there any easier method for that ?

Answer 1

As simple as this:

var guid = Guid.Empty;

Answer 2

Just create a new Guid

var guid = new Guid();

Answer 3

I know this is old, but this also works:

Guid guid;

Answer 4

Just to make sure PowerShell is here:

> [Guid]::Empty

Guid
