Questions about GUID's: Are they always fixed in length, and is the middle number always 4?

Viewed 14770

I just generated a few million GUID's turned them into a String and got the length... it was always the same. Can I rely on this fixed length of the GUID when converting to String?

Also, is the middle number of the GUID always "4" as shown in this screenshot?
