I actually think I can use the boost uuid generator.

It worked in my testing :O)

Sorry for the inconvenience

I am trying to convert a legacy GUID on mircosoft to use the boost uuid.
I am utilizing the stringstream as mentioned in the boost uuid documentation.

I have managed to get the GUID converted into a string but am unable to inject the string value
Into the uuid variable.

Below is just a snippet of a test program.  I read it back into a buffer variable to make sure that value was properly
set.  ss gets the value of guid_str but  does not set the value in uuid_test.

      WCHAR guid_buf[50];
      Boost::uuids::uuid uuid_test;
      StringFromGUID2(guid_value, guid_buf, 50);
      char *guid_str = OLE2A(guid_buf);
      std::stringstream ss;
      char buf[50];
      ss << guid_str;
      ss >> uuid_test;
      ss << uuid_test;
      ss >> buf;

Obvioulsy I am using stringstream wrong.  Does anyone know how to convert a GUID to a boost UUID?  I can't seem to find the documentation or interface.
