An "ArgumentException" exception occurs when a .NET Framework 3.5-based application uses the "DataTable.Select" method

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

You have a Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5-based application that is running on a computer that is localized for the language of a Scandinavian country. For example, the computer is localized for Norway, for Sweden, or for Denmark.
In a DataTable object, the application has a DataColumn object for global unique identifiers (GUID).
You use the DataColumn object as the String data type to filter the DataTable object. For example, you use the following sample code:
```
string formattedResult = String.Format("<GUIDDataColumn> = '{0}'", <Guid>)
<dataset>.Tables["<Table>"].Select(formattedResult)
```

In this scenario, you receive the following ArgumentException exception:

Min (8147) must be less than or equal to max (-1) in a Range object.

Cause

This issue occurs because the GUID that is sorted in the Binary data type differs from the GUID that is sorted in the String data type for all Scandinavian languages.

In a DataTable object, the DataColumn object has an internal index that is sorted by the GUID. The {guid} = ‘string’ select operation internally perform a binary search that is based on the Compare ({guid} ->string, ‘string’) function.
