A CLSID is a globally unique ID (=GUID). It has a fixed format (see the Answer from Joe) and is "random". You can create one with guidgen.exe. Many Editors and IDE's have functionality to create a GUID. With regasm you can register the GUID (=CLSID then) of your COM class object in windows.

A CLSID identifies a COM class object, not a DLL.

When you register your assembly using regasm, a CLSID will be registered for each ComVisible class in your assembly.

You can specify the CLSID you want by placing a Guid attribute on a class:

[GuidAttribute("12345678-9012-3456-7890-123456789abc")]
public sealed class MyComVisibleClass ...

or if you don't use this attribute it will be generated automatically.

If it's generated automatically, you can inspect the type library generated by regasm using "OLE Viewer" or similar.

By calling

regasm.exe /codebase /tlb whatever.dll

depending on your needs, /codebase or /tlb might not be needed (i.e. you can also try just regasm.exe whatever.dll).
