Generate Random String using C#

Generate Random String using C#

This tutorial generates Random Strings may be suitable for Password generation/Captcha etc.,

// This example uses Random class generates sequence of bytes and then converts those bytes to

//String, picks only Alphabets.

//

        String GenerateRandomString()
        {            

           byte[] bytes = new byte[255];
            rnd.NextBytes(bytes);
            String szRandom = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes);
            char[] c = szRandom.ToCharArray();
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            foreach (char cc in c)
            {
                if (Char.IsLetter(cc))
                {
                    sb.Append(cc);
                }
            }            return sb.ToString(); ;
        }

Random rnd = new Random();

Console.WriteLine("RandomPassword={0}",GenerateRandomString());

Output:
RandomPassword=WTdavEYQqzBekgKkqgJalgQGsgSJVdiQgnJzwwrlbJe

RandomPassword=dJpjgBczezrQSMLzkYhLoZRJdStitRFoHdmJikqhfGcxlrniKChEkI

RandomPassword=DGaYmSvZuHoHRMjVfvQrrVzxoDiQdvwkjDgKjAQXRGUEx

RandomPassword=mZABWuDFUHHEzVVmSchQHFnbOfXPpBMcxRfrFKqtzvJNTnurjHYz

RandomPassword=IzYTMyvMpmNaDqXRNFVtIgnHfVVEioYbUTkyIRSASDvbgcGoYlJBpuqp

RandomPassword=SLkyLRSLhDOkXztdIGIOVRkjqwTdfkqYUMQszCtnTNWiwcWVPngmBxRge

For Random AlphaNumeric  Strings

Change the Logic to

   Char.IsLetterOrDigit(cc)

Output:a6Nna0eeJaXW2K8LNAfBMTBmgSd2YoezGODa1v37sWlsAlL19CpQwkGVdDmdwIdzKbX

For Random Numbers.

  U can use same Random class,Each time it generates new number, otherwise,

Chanage the Logic like this

Char.IsNumber(cc)

Output:

2752175506

6767
