Support for generating random passwords in ASP.NET

Joe
Hi,

I am building web in ASP.NET using VB.NET to code the pages. I want to generate random passwords for users. I know that password hashing is built right into the .NET Framework. I was wondering if there is any built-in support for generating random passwords in .Net. If the support is built-in, can you show me how to do it.

Thanks,

Joe

There is no random password functionality built into .NET.
But there is the Math.Random namespace that could easily help you string
together some random characters.

Try this.. http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtec...011100-1.shtml

It's ASP rather than .NET, but shouldn't take too much conversion.
