我通常使用:

var list = new List<T> ();
fillList (list);
var randomizedList = new List<T> ();
var rnd = new Random ();
while (list.Count != 0)
{
    var index = rnd.Next (0, list.Count);
    randomizedList.Add (list [index]);
    list.RemoveAt (index);
}

可以使用morelinq包中的Shuffle扩展方法，它适用于IEnumerables

安装包morelinq

using MoreLinq;
...    
var randomized = list.Shuffle();

如果你不介意使用两个list，那么这可能是最简单的方法，但可能不是最有效或最不可预测的方法:

List<int> xList = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
List<int> deck = new List<int>();

foreach (int xInt in xList)
    deck.Insert(random.Next(0, deck.Count + 1), xInt);

    public static List<T> Randomize<T>(List<T> list)
    {
        List<T> randomizedList = new List<T>();
        Random rnd = new Random();
        while (list.Count > 0)
        {
            int index = rnd.Next(0, list.Count); //pick a random item from the master list
            randomizedList.Add(list[index]); //place it at the end of the randomized list
            list.RemoveAt(index);
        }
        return randomizedList;
    }

我们可以为List使用扩展方法，并使用线程安全的随机生成器组合。我在NuGet上打包了一个改进的版本，并在GitHub上提供源代码。NuGet版本包含可选的密码强随机。

Pre -。NET 6.0版本:

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]
public static void Shuffle<T>(this IList<T> list)
{
    if (list == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(list));
    int n = list.Count;
    while (n > 1)
    {
        int k = ThreadSafeRandom.Instance.Next(n--);
        (list[n], list[k]) = (list[k], list[n]);
    }
}

internal class ThreadSafeRandom
{
    public static Random Instance => _local.Value;

    private static readonly Random _global = new Random();
    private static readonly ThreadLocal<Random> _local = new ThreadLocal<Random>(() =>
    {
        int seed;
        lock (_global)
        {
            seed = _global.Next();
        }
        return new Random(seed);
    });
}

在。net 6.0或更高版本上:

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]
public static void Shuffle<T>(this IList<T> list)
{
    ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(list);
    int n = list.Count;
    while (n > 1)
    {
        int k = Random.Shared.Next(n--);
        (list[n], list[k]) = (list[k], list[n]);
    }
}

通过NuGet安装库以获得更多功能。

这是我最喜欢的shuffle方法，当不需要修改原始的时候。它是Fisher-Yates“由内到外”算法的变体，适用于任何可枚举序列(源的长度不需要从一开始就知道)。

public static IList<T> NextList<T>(this Random r, IEnumerable<T> source)
{
  var list = new List<T>();
  foreach (var item in source)
  {
    var i = r.Next(list.Count + 1);
    if (i == list.Count)
    {
      list.Add(item);
    }
    else
    {
      var temp = list[i];
      list[i] = item;
      list.Add(temp);
    }
  }
  return list;
}

该算法还可以通过分配一个从0到length - 1的范围来实现，并通过将随机选择的索引与最后一个索引交换来随机耗尽索引，直到所有索引都被选中一次。上面的代码完成了完全相同的事情，但没有额外的分配。非常简洁。

With regards to the Random class it's a general purpose number generator (and If I was running a lottery I'd consider using something different). It also relies on a time based seed value by default. A small alleviation of the problem is to seed the Random class with the RNGCryptoServiceProvider or you could use the RNGCryptoServiceProvider in a method similar to this (see below) to generate uniformly chosen random double floating point values but running a lottery pretty much requires understanding randomness and the nature of the randomness source.

var bytes = new byte[8];
_secureRng.GetBytes(bytes);
var v = BitConverter.ToUInt64(bytes, 0);
return (double)v / ((double)ulong.MaxValue + 1);

生成随机双精度(仅在0和1之间)的目的是用于扩展到整数解。如果你需要从一个基于随机双x的列表中选择一个东西，它总是0 <= x && x < 1是很简单的。

return list[(int)(x * list.Count)];

享受吧!
