C# how to handle GUID return type exception?
<p>I have a method with the following signature:</p>

<pre><code>public Guid FindTermIDFromCustomProperty() 
{
     // Logic here to find an item and return the guid 
}
</code></pre>

<p>My problem is, if no item was found in the function then there will be no GUID to return - this goes without saying! But is there a way to return some bland GUID?</p>

<p>Better yet, is there a more generic approach I could take, not only for GUIDs, but generally when I'm returning a strong type? I don't really want to use an object as return type, there must be a better way. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
