You can use Guid Empty  It is a read-only instance of the Guid structure  with the value of 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 you can also  use these instead var g   new Guid    var g   default Guid    beware not to use Guid NewGuid   because it will generate a new Guid  use one of the options above which you and your team think it is more readable and stick to it  Do not mix different options across the code  I think the Guid Empty is the best one since new Guid   might make us think it is generating a new guid and some may not know what is the value of default Guid

To extend answers above  you cannot use Guid default value with Guid Empty as an optional argument in method  indexer or delegate definition  because it will give you compile time error  Use default Guid  or new Guid   instead

The default value for a GUID is empty   eg  00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000  This can be invoked using Guid Empty or new Guid   If you want a new GUID  you use Guid NewGuid
