From where? UI? Code? A WebPart? A console application? A winzip plugin? – Crosstie

Hi Steve, this is a testing project and I want to map to my outlook but the only thing missing is GUID of a List – Cryometer

You did not answer to my question. In other words, is it from code or manually by hand? – Crosstie

It is to be manuallly by hand not from code i.e. from browser – Cryometer

Answer 1

The simplest way is to go the list settings.

The id of the list will be in the url.

For example:

https://someserver/sites/somesite/_layouts/15/listedit.aspx?List=%7B263FE49C%2D7FB3%2D4247%2D93CD%2D4AAB9770EF97%7D

Extract the list argument:

%7B263FE49C%2D7FB3%2D4247%2D93CD%2D4AAB9770EF97%7D

And then url decode it:

{263FE49C-7FB3-4247-93CD-4AAB9770EF97}

That's easy, and works with all version of SharePoint (actually, no SP2007 to test, but I'm confident)
