Today I came across a need of generating random string as a registration numbers in C# while taking the participant information and generating a registration number of unique one. So to do it here is the code below.
public String generateRandomString(int length) {
//Initiate
objects & vars
byte[ ] seed =
Guid.NewGuid().ToByteArray();
Random random = new Random(BitConverter.ToInt32(seed,0));
Random random = new Random(BitConverter.ToInt32(seed,0));
String
randomString = "";
int randNumber;
//Loop ‘length’ times to generate a random number or
character
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
if
(random.Next(1, 3) == 1) // here it is for taking 3 alphabets and all other numeric
randNumber = random.Next(97, 123); //char {a-z}
else
randNumber = random.Next(48, 58); //int {0-9}
//append random char or digit to random string
randomString =
randomString + (char)randNumber;
}
//return the random string
return
randomString;
}
i not getting what is the use of if (random.Next(1, 3) == 1) statement.?
