title: Is it good idea to remove dash from a GUID?
body: <p>I have code which replaces the dash with empty strings in a GUID.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Replace(System.Guid.NewGuid.ToString, "-", "")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Would that remove the uniqueness of the guid?</p>
  
  <p>Also can someone confirm this too?</p>
  
  <p>We are storing GUIDs in our database as char(32). Is that okay? Because we have international users in different timezone, we're concerned that the character length could go over 32. Thanks.</p>
