Is there a GUID.TryParse() in .NET 3.5?

Question

UPDATE

Guid.TryParse is available in .NET 4.0

END UPDATE

Obviously there is no public GUID.TryParse() in .NET CLR

Answer 1

There's no TryParse functionality in the .NET Framework to my knowledge at this moment. You'll have to resort to RegEx or the try-catch option. RegEx isn't my cup of tea, so I'm sure someone else will post an answer.

Exceptions are expensive performance wise, so my vote goes to the RegEx option.
