Increment Guid in C#

Question

I have an application that has a guid variable which needs to be unique (of course). I know that statistically any guid should just be assumed to be unique, but due to dev/t

Answer 1

Verified Solution for Ordered Strings:

    private static Guid Increment(Guid guid)
    {

        byte[] bytes = guid.ToByteArray();

        byte[] order = { 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 6, 7, 4, 5, 0, 1, 2, 3 };

        for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
        {
            if (bytes[order[i]] == byte.MaxValue)
            {
                bytes[order[i]] = 0;
            }
            else
            {
                bytes[order[i]]++;
                return new Guid(bytes);
            }
        }

        throw new OverflowException("Congratulations you are one in a billion billion billion billion etc...");

    }

Verification:

    private static Guid IncrementProof(Guid guid, int start, int end)
    {

        byte[] bytes = guid.ToByteArray();

        byte[] order = { 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 6, 7, 4, 5, 0, 1, 2, 3 };

        for (int i = start; i < end; i++)
        {
            if (bytes[order[i]] == byte.MaxValue)
            {
                bytes[order[i]] = 0;
            }
            else
            {
                bytes[order[i]]++;
                return new Guid(bytes);
            }
        }

        throw new OverflowException("Congratulations you are one in a billion billion billion billion etc...");

    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        Guid temp = new Guid();

        for (int j = 0; j < 16; j++)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < 255; i++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(temp.ToString());
                temp = IncrementProof(temp, j, j + 1);
            }
        }

    }
