I am adding a new ID system to WTDawson.PersistentID, which is overkill for the vast majority of applications but is useful for applications that require large-scale IDs (Generating billions or trillions of IDs)…
When thinking about making a desktop application with C#, you should think of a few things such as…

If you haven’t read my post about using the library, I suggest you do: Using WTDawson.PersistentID to build replicable IDs. Below is a the test application run … Read more
WTDawson.PersistentID is a library built in C# designed to make it easier to build IDs that be reproduced with the correct data. The library accepts a list of objects (Has to be a string, integer or DateTime object) and a “magic” number. The “magic” number is a key which is used when generating the ID. … Read more
