## TryParse(string, GlobalObjectId)

```csharp
public static bool TryParse(string stringValue, out GlobalObjectId id)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[string]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)): The string representation of a `GlobalObjectId`.The following is an example of the string representation: `GlobalObjectId_V1-2-74c253e3f16be4776bb2d88e01f77c8a-902906726-0`. For more information on the composition, refer to [GlobalObjectId](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/globalobjectid.md).**** (\[GlobalObjectId]\(/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/globalobjectid)): The `GlobalObjectId` struct to populate with the parsed values.

### Returns

| Type                                                          | Description                                                                                    |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [bool](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.boolean) | Returns `true` if the string representation is successfully parsed. Otherwise, returns `false` |

### Remarks

This method takes the string representation of a unique object identifier and converts it to a `GlobalObjectId` struct.

Calling this method sets the state of the provided `GlobalObjectId`, but doesn't attempt to resolve it to an object reference. A return value of `true` doesn't guarantee that a call to [GlobalObjectId.GlobalObjectIdentifierToObjectSlow](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/globalobjectid/globalobjectidentifiertoobjectslow.md) or similar method will succeed.
