Random String

[Materialised]

Hi All,

I am looking for a way to generate a 8 character random string. The range of
characters can be from a-z, A-Z. Does anyone know a quick and efficient way
of doing this?

Regards
Mick

See:
- System.Random
- Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Chr
- System.Text.StringBuilder

Public Function RandomString(ByVal length As Integer) As String
Dim rd As New Random(Convert.ToInt32(DateTime.Now.Ticks Mod
Integer.MaxValue))
Dim st(length - 1) As Byte
Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To st.Length - 1
If rd.Next(0, 2) = 0 Then
st(i) = CByte(rd.Next(65, 91))
Else
st(i) = CByte(rd.Next(97, 123))
End If
Next

Return Encoding.Default.GetString(st)

End Function
