Returns an Id if the passed string is in GUID format. A valid string consists of optional whitespace, an optional left brace({), followed by required 8 hexadecimal characters, a dash, 4 hexadecimal characters, a dash, 4 hexadecimal characters, a dash, 4 hexadecimal characters, a dash, and 12 hexadecimal characters, then finally an optional right brace(}) followed by whitespace. The braces must either both be present or both be omitted. For example: {1234abcd-56ef-7a89-9fe8-7d65cd43ba21} If the input string does not conform to this format, the method returns null. This method provides an alternative to calling IsId(string) followed conditionally by new Id(string).
