Wasting GUIDs?
Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but I've been having a look at MSDN and I couldn't really find out an answer to this question, and as I use GUID's following the examples of WF, I decided to ask here.
My question is: I create a new guid for every workflow I run (every purchase order). Now, for testing purposes, I create a limited amount of orders, say 20 - 30. But in the future maybe it would have to run 300 orders, and I don't understand exactly how it deals with GUID's. If a GUID is unique, as its name sais, then this means that once you use it once you can't use it again? I know that being a 128 bit string this gives a LOT of GUIDs, but isn't it a waste of resources to use a guid for every instance? Once you've been running the purchase service for a year you would have used a lot of guids... Unless it doesn't work the way I said and you can reuse guids, then that wouldn't be a problem...
Anyone can clarify the issue?
Thanks,
Rubn
