How do you create a GUID in Visual Basic?

Insert a new GUID by invoking the command under the Edit top-level menu or hit CTRL+K,Space . If Visual Studio is unable to insert the GUID, it will be copied to the clipboard so you can easily paste it in manually. When a GUID is copied to the clipboard, a notification will be displayed in the status bar.

Please follow troubleshoot section in this documentation. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/33047.create-guid-tool-in-visual-studio.aspx

If the tool does not appear under the Tools menu, click Tools > External Tools (see image above). It may be that the tool was not registered correctly within the IDE. Using the External Tools window, we can add a reference to guidgen.exe.
