How to generate a random number in C#
by Tom Gee on Mar.19, 2010, under C#, Programming
Here’s a quick and dirty way to use Microsoft’s “Random” class for generating a random (or as you will soon find out, not-so-random) number.
Because I believe in code reuse, I started by creating a new function that would return the random number as an integer datatype.
static int RandomNumber(int min, int max)
{
Random random = new Random();
return random.Next(min, max);
}
The only things you have to pass to the function are the upper and lower boundaries that you want the random number to fall between.
int zip = RandomNumber(10000, 99999);
In the above example, a random number between 10000 and 99999 will be assigned to the “zip” variable.
As I stated above, the random number isn’t actually very random and, therefore, might not be a perfect fit for what your trying to use it for. However, the Random class serves its purpose for quick data generation for application testing.
Happy coding!
