Hi Ariel,

This sounds a little bit like some homework assignment :P but here goes.

This method will make a random string of a given length out of small and
capital letters using ascii A-Z, a-z,

private string GenerateString(int length)
{
Random rand = new Random();
string randomString = "";
for(int i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
int small = rand.Next(2);
int letter = rand.Next(26);
if(small == 0)
letter += 65;
else
letter += 97;
randomString += Convert.ToChar(letter);
}
return randomString;
}
Happy coding!

Hi,

You could use the random generator, and then use a StringBuilder to append
them , all you have to do is make sure you generate printables characters.

If your objective is to get something irregular and/or unique you could use

System.Guid.NewGuid.ToString()
