private Basket createNewBasket(HttpContextBase httpContext)
{
//create a new basket.
//fisrt create a new cookie.
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie(BasketSessionName);
//now create a new basket and set the creation date.
Basket basket = new Basket();
basket.DateBasket = DateTime.Now;
basket.Id = Guid.NewGuid();
//add and persist in the database.
baskets.Insert(basket);
baskets.Commit();
//add the basket id to a cookie
cookie.Value = basket.Id.ToString();
cookie.Expires - DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);
httpContext.Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
return basket;
}
I have the following errors:
basket.Id = Guid.NewGuid();
the error is: cannot implicitly convert type "System.Guid" to "int"
Look's like you've defined Id as an integer so you will not be able to assign a Guid to it. Look to where Id is defined and change it if you need a Guid
A guid is a 128 bits. If .net supported int128, you’d could store a guid in an int. By convention, when a guid is converted to a string, it’s hex with dashes.

For this one, replace the - with an =
i.e.

To elaborate, GUID's are not integers, and can't be cast to integers. They are hex numbers (alphanumeric) with hyphens.

A GUID can never be an integer.

The OP was doing this:
NewGuid() does not produce an int. It produces the alphanumeric hex numbers with hyphens.

this is not true. NewGuid produces a structure of 128 bits (16 bytes). The ToString() is the hex with dashes.

Hi lujain1996m,
As the previous replies, System.Guid cannot be converted to int type.
Therefore, it is recommended that you convert the Id field in the class Basket to a string type, and then receive Guid.NewGuid().ToString() again.
You can refer to this link for more details:
C# guid and SQL uniqueidentifier

YongQing.
