hi,
you can get a random number between 1 and 26, and cast it to a char.

public static char GetRandomLowerCaseCharacter(int seed)
{
return ((char) ( (short) 'a' + new Random(seed).Next(26)));
}

public static char GetRandomUpperCaseCharacter(int seed)
{
return ((char) ( (short) 'A' + new Random(seed).Next(26)));
}

even simpler, if you don't mind being restricted to hex characters.... use
Guid.NewGuid()

hope this helps
tim
