还有另一个版本:我在测试中使用这种方法生成随机的伪股票代码:

Random rand = new Random();
Func<char> randChar = () => (char)rand.Next(65, 91); // upper case ascii codes
Func<int,string> randStr = null;
    randStr = (x) => (x>0) ? randStr(--x)+randChar() : ""; // recursive

用法:

string str4 = randStr(4);// generates a random 4 char string
string strx = randStr(rand.next(1,5)); // random string between 1-4 chars in length

你可以重新定义randChar函数，使用一个“允许的”字符数组，而不是ascii码:

char[] allowedchars = {'A','B','C','1','2','3'};
Func<char> randChar = () => allowedchars[rand.Next(0, allowedchars.Length-1)];

这是另一个基于guid的想法。我在Visual Studio性能测试中使用它来生成只包含字母数字字符的随机字符串。

public string GenerateRandomString(int stringLength)
{
    Random rnd = new Random();
    Guid guid;
    String randomString = string.Empty;

    int numberOfGuidsRequired = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)stringLength / 32d);
    for (int i = 0; i < numberOfGuidsRequired; i++)
    {
        guid = Guid.NewGuid();
        randomString += guid.ToString().Replace("-", "");
    }

    return randomString.Substring(0, stringLength);
}

在方法中实例化Random对象。

Random对象的种子来自系统时钟，这意味着如果您快速连续多次调用方法，它每次都将使用相同的种子，这意味着它将生成相同的随机数序列，这意味着您将得到相同的字符串。

为了解决这个问题，把你的Random实例移到方法本身之外(当你在做的时候，你可以摆脱对Convert和Floor和NextDouble的疯狂调用序列):

private readonly Random _rng = new Random();
private const string _chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";

private string RandomString(int size)
{
    char[] buffer = new char[size];

    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
    {
        buffer[i] = _chars[_rng.Next(_chars.Length)];
    }
    return new string(buffer);
}

这是我的解决方案:

private string RandomString(int length)
{
    char[] symbols = { 
                            '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9',
                            'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z',
                            'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z'                             
                        };

    Stack<byte> bytes = new Stack<byte>();
    string output = string.Empty;

    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
    {
        if (bytes.Count == 0)
        {
            bytes = new Stack<byte>(Guid.NewGuid().ToByteArray());
        }
        byte pop = bytes.Pop();
        output += symbols[(int)pop % symbols.Length];
    }
    return output;
}

// get 1st random string 
string Rand1 = RandomString(4);

// get 2nd random string 
string Rand2 = RandomString(4);

// create full rand string
string docNum = Rand1 + "-" + Rand2;

最好的解决方案是使用随机数生成器和base64转换

public string GenRandString(int length)
{
  byte[] randBuffer = new byte[length];
  RandomNumberGenerator.Create().GetBytes(randBuffer);
  return System.Convert.ToBase64String(randBuffer).Remove(length);
}

public static class StringHelpers
{
    public static readonly Random rnd = new Random();

    public static readonly string EnglishAlphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
    public static readonly string RussianAlphabet = "абвгдеёжзийклмнопрстуфхцчшщъыьэюя";

    public static unsafe string GenerateRandomUTF8String(int length, string alphabet)
    {
        if (length <= 0)
            return String.Empty;
        if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(alphabet))
            throw new ArgumentNullException("alphabet");

        byte[] randomBytes = rnd.NextBytes(length);

        string s = new string(alphabet[0], length);

        fixed (char* p = s)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < s.Length; i++)
            {
                *(p + i) = alphabet[randomBytes[i] % alphabet.Length];
            }
        }
        return s;
    }

    public static unsafe string GenerateRandomUTF8String(int length, params UnicodeCategory[] unicodeCategories)
    {
        if (length <= 0)
            return String.Empty;
        if (unicodeCategories == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("unicodeCategories");
        if (unicodeCategories.Length == 0)
            return rnd.NextString(length);

        byte[] randomBytes = rnd.NextBytes(length);

        string s = randomBytes.ConvertToString();
        fixed (char* p = s)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < s.Length; i++)
            {
                while (!unicodeCategories.Contains(char.GetUnicodeCategory(*(p + i))))
                    *(p + i) += (char)*(p + i);
            }
        }
        return s;
    }
}

你还需要这个:

public static class RandomExtensions
{
    public static string NextString(this Random rnd, int length)
    {
        if (length <= 0)
            return String.Empty;

        return rnd.NextBytes(length).ConvertToString();
    }

    public static byte[] NextBytes(this Random rnd, int length)
    {
        if (length <= 0)
            return new byte[0];

        byte[] randomBytes = new byte[length];
        rnd.NextBytes(randomBytes);
        return randomBytes;
    }
}

这:

public static class ByteArrayExtensions
{
    public static string ConvertToString(this byte[] bytes)
    {
        if (bytes.Length <= 0)
            return string.Empty;

        char[] chars = new char[bytes.Length / sizeof(char)];
        Buffer.BlockCopy(bytes, 0, chars, 0, bytes.Length);
        return new string(chars);
    }
}
