Ansys_ACT_Core_Attributes_XmlAttributeAttribute

<guid>
Class defining a unique identifier for the extension.

Remarks
The GUID is he unique identifier of the extension. Two extensions with the same GUID will be considered
by ACT as the same extension.

This is very important when the extension is deployed to ensure that two different extensions will
never be in conflict (have the same name, for example).

This identifier must be added at least before the first build of the extension and must never changed
after that. When the extension is updated, a new version created, or features added... the GUID must
be kept unchanged.

Examples
Example 1: A GUID can be generated from the project's page command window using the following
code:

import System
System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString()

Table 37: XML Tag Listing

Attribute shortid= (p. 246) Short identifier for backward


compatibility.

shortid=
Short identifier for backward compatibility.

Type
System_String

Remarks
Must be the same as the extension name for all extensions created before R15.
