Where to find my GUID on my c# solution

Hello I have been having issues with MonoGame when building I get the glbind... error in the opengl32.dll so I was suggested to find my GUID and it sounds like a simple task but i have looked in the project folder files and cant find it I found one which is 

<ProjectGuid>{325BCA73-8459-49AF-9C31-D4A268BF8A1A}</ProjectGuid>

but im looking for one like this

<ProjectTypeGuids>{9B831FEF-F496-498F-9FE8-180DA5CB4258};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids>

here is a image of my file folder and the main "collisions".csproj file where I found the one GUID. I have done some research but i cant seem to find an answer as to where to look. HERE

More accuretly im looking for the Projecttypeguids so I can delete one of them to see if that solves my problem as suggested here....I recognized what i worded at the top is kind of vague sorry

Here

First you didn't mentioned what you're using winforms or wpf.

OK whatever.The ProjectTypeGuids is not supported in winforms you can find them if you're using wpf.

If you're using wpf you can use this code:

 public string GetProjectTypeGuids(EnvDTE.Project proj)
       {

      string projectTypeGuids = "";
      object service = null;
      Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsSolution solution = null;
      Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsHierarchy hierarchy = null;
      Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsAggregatableProject aggregatableProject = null;
      int result = 0;

      service = GetService(proj.DTE, typeof(Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsSolution));
      solution = (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsSolution)service;

      result = solution.GetProjectOfUniqueName(proj.UniqueName, hierarchy);

      if (result == 0)
      {
         aggregatableProject = (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsAggregatableProject) hierarchy;
         result = aggregatableProject.GetAggregateProjectTypeGuids(projectTypeGuids);
      }

      return projectTypeGuids;

   }

   public object GetService(object serviceProvider, System.Type type)
   {
      return GetService(serviceProvider, type.GUID);
   }

   public object GetService(object serviceProviderObject, System.Guid guid)
   {

      object service = null;
      Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IServiceProvider serviceProvider = null;
      IntPtr serviceIntPtr;
      int hr = 0;
      Guid SIDGuid;
      Guid IIDGuid;

      SIDGuid = guid;
      IIDGuid = SIDGuid;
      serviceProvider = (Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IServiceProvider)serviceProviderObject;
      hr = serviceProvider.QueryService(SIDGuid, IIDGuid, serviceIntPtr);

      if (hr != 0)
      {
         System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHR(hr);
      }
      else if (!serviceIntPtr.Equals(IntPtr.Zero))
      {
         service = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(serviceIntPtr);
         System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.Release(serviceIntPtr);
      }

      return service;
   }

it's from here

The screenshot you linked to shows a project that does not have any type GUIDs listed. If present, the value is mostly used by development tools (e.g. VS uses it to figure out what items to include in the context menus for adding new items.) If there is no project type GUID your project will still "work" for the most part, but you will likely encounter odd behavior in your IDE of choice.

The project type GUID values in your question are correct for a project that is a C# application that uses the MonoGame plugin. If your project file is missing that tag, just add it yourself with whichever GUIDs you want your project to have.

(The list of well-known GUIDs can be found here, though the MonoGame one I had to look up on Google.)

The first example you gave is the GUID of your project. Hence ProjectGuid.
The second is a list of the GUIDs of the project types of your project. Hence ProjectTypeGuids.

If you are looking for the GUID of your project, the first example is giving you the correct answer.
