GUIDs in a SLN file
Visual Studio Solution files contain two GUID's per project entry. I figure one of them is from the AssemblyInfo.cs
Does anyone know for sure where these come from, and what they are used for?

Neither GUID is the same GUID as from AssemblyInfo.cs (that is the GUID for the assembly itself, not tied to Visual Studio but the end product of the build).
So, for a typical line in the sln file (open the .sln in notepad or editor-of-choice if you wish to see this):
Project("FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC") = "ConsoleSandbox", "ConsoleSandboxConsoleSandbox.csproj", "55A1FD06-FB00-4F8A-9153-C432357F5CAC"
The second GUID is a unique GUID for the project itself. The solution file uses this to map other settings to that project:
GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution
55A1FD06-FB00-4F8A-9153-C432357F5CAC.Debug|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Debug|Any CPU
55A1FD06-FB00-4F8A-9153-C432357F5CAC.Debug|Any CPU.Build.0 = Debug|Any CPU
55A1FD06-FB00-4F8A-9153-C432357F5CAC.Release|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Release|Any CPU
55A1FD06-FB00-4F8A-9153-C432357F5CAC.Release|Any CPU.Build.0 = Release|Any CPU
EndGlobalSection
The first GUID is actually a GUID that is the unique GUID for the solution itself (I believe). If you have a solution with more than one project, you'll actually see something like the following:
Project("FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC") = "ConsoleSandbox", "ConsoleSandboxConsoleSandbox.csproj", "55A1FD06-FB00-4F8A-9153-C432357F5CAC"
EndProject
Project("FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC") = "Composite", "..CompositeWPFSourceCALCompositeComposite.csproj", "77138947-1D13-4E22-AEE0-5D0DD046CA34"

The first GUID identifies the project type, as (briefly) mentioned here -- msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb165951(v=vs.90).aspx. Also see mztools.com/Articles/2008/MZ2008017.aspx for a list of project types. (I'm still wondering if there's a special guid for a solution folder ...)

According to MSDN:
[The
Project] statement contains the
unique project GUID and the project
type GUID. This information is used by
the environment to find the project
file or files belonging to the
solution, and the VSPackage required
for each project. The project GUID is
passed to IVsProjectFactory to load
the specific VSPackage related to the
project, then the project is loaded by
the VSPackage.
