```
This implementation uses the built-in `Convert.ToBase64String` and `Convert.FromBase64String` methods to convert between bytes and base64 strings. The `GuidToBase64UrlSafe` method replaces '+' with '-' and '/' with '_' to make the string URL-safe, and trims any padding '=' characters. The `Base64UrlSafeToGuid` method reverses these operations to convert the URL-safe string back to a Guid. The `Main` method demonstrates a round-trip test, converting a Guid to a base64 URL-safe string and back, and verifying that the original and converted Guids are equal.
