问:为什么我要浪费时间使用Enumerable ?范围，而不是输入“ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789”?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

public class Test
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var randomCharacters = GetRandomCharacters(8, true);
        Console.WriteLine(new string(randomCharacters.ToArray()));
    }

    private static List<char> getAvailableRandomCharacters(bool includeLowerCase)
    {
        var integers = Enumerable.Empty<int>();
        integers = integers.Concat(Enumerable.Range('A', 26));
        integers = integers.Concat(Enumerable.Range('0', 10));

        if ( includeLowerCase )
            integers = integers.Concat(Enumerable.Range('a', 26));

        return integers.Select(i => (char)i).ToList();
    }

    public static IEnumerable<char> GetRandomCharacters(int count, bool includeLowerCase)
    {
        var characters = getAvailableRandomCharacters(includeLowerCase);
        var random = new Random();
        var result = Enumerable.Range(0, count)
            .Select(_ => characters[random.Next(characters.Count)]);

        return result;
    }
}

答案:魔术弦不好。有没有人注意到在我的字符串顶部没有“I”?我妈妈教我不要用魔法弦就是因为这个原因……

注意事项1:正如许多像@dtb这样的人所说，不要使用系统。随机的，如果你需要密码安全…

注2:这个答案不是最有效或最短的，但我想用空间把答案和问题分开。我回答这个问题的目的，更多的是为了警告人们不要使用神奇的字符串，而不是提供一个花哨的创新答案。

public static class StringHelper
{
    private static readonly Random random = new Random();

    private const int randomSymbolsDefaultCount = 8;
    private const string availableChars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";

    private static int randomSymbolsIndex = 0;

    public static string GetRandomSymbols()
    {
        return GetRandomSymbols(randomSymbolsDefaultCount);
    }

    public static string GetRandomSymbols(int count)
    {
        var index = randomSymbolsIndex;
        var result = new string(
            Enumerable.Repeat(availableChars, count)
                      .Select(s => {
                          index += random.Next(s.Length);
                          if (index >= s.Length)
                              index -= s.Length;
                          return s[index];
                      })
                      .ToArray());
        randomSymbolsIndex = index;
        return result;
    }
}

我不知道这在密码学上听起来如何，但它比迄今为止(在我看来)更复杂的解决方案更具可读性和简练性，而且它应该比系统更“随机”。Random-based解决方案。

return alphabet
    .OrderBy(c => Guid.NewGuid())
    .Take(strLength)
    .Aggregate(
        new StringBuilder(),
        (builder, c) => builder.Append(c))
    .ToString();

我不知道我认为这个版本还是下一个版本“更漂亮”，但它们给出了完全相同的结果:

return new string(alphabet
    .OrderBy(o => Guid.NewGuid())
    .Take(strLength)
    .ToArray());

当然，它并没有针对速度进行优化，所以如果每秒生成数百万个随机字符串是关键任务，请尝试另一个!

注意:此解决方案不允许字母中符号的重复，并且字母必须等于或大于输出字符串的大小，使得这种方法在某些情况下不太可取，这完全取决于您的用例。

在这个线程中只是一些不同答案的性能比较:

方法与设置

// what's available
public static string possibleChars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
// optimized (?) what's available
public static char[] possibleCharsArray = possibleChars.ToCharArray();
// optimized (precalculated) count
public static int possibleCharsAvailable = possibleChars.Length;
// shared randomization thingy
public static Random random = new Random();


// http://stackoverflow.com/a/1344242/1037948
public string LinqIsTheNewBlack(int num) {
    return new string(
    Enumerable.Repeat(possibleCharsArray, num)
              .Select(s => s[random.Next(s.Length)])
              .ToArray());
}

// http://stackoverflow.com/a/1344258/1037948
public string ForLoop(int num) {
    var result = new char[num];
    while(num-- > 0) {
        result[num] = possibleCharsArray[random.Next(possibleCharsAvailable)];
    }
    return new string(result);
}

public string ForLoopNonOptimized(int num) {
    var result = new char[num];
    while(num-- > 0) {
        result[num] = possibleChars[random.Next(possibleChars.Length)];
    }
    return new string(result);
}

public string Repeat(int num) {
    return new string(new char[num].Select(o => possibleCharsArray[random.Next(possibleCharsAvailable)]).ToArray());
}

// http://stackoverflow.com/a/1518495/1037948
public string GenerateRandomString(int num) {
  var rBytes = new byte[num];
  random.NextBytes(rBytes);
  var rName = new char[num];
  while(num-- > 0)
    rName[num] = possibleCharsArray[rBytes[num] % possibleCharsAvailable];
  return new string(rName);
}

//SecureFastRandom - or SolidSwiftRandom
static string GenerateRandomString(int Length) //Configurable output string length
{
    byte[] rBytes = new byte[Length]; 
    char[] rName = new char[Length];
    SolidSwiftRandom.GetNextBytesWithMax(rBytes, biasZone);
    for (var i = 0; i < Length; i++)
    {
        rName[i] = charSet[rBytes[i] % charSet.Length];
    }
    return new string(rName);
}

结果

在LinqPad中测试。对于长度为10的字符串，生成:

from Linq = chdgmevhcy [10] from Loop = gtnoaryhxr [10] from Select = rsndbztyby [10] from GenerateRandomString = owyefjjakj [10] from securefastrrandom = VzougLYHYP [10] from securefastrrandom - nocache = oVQXNGmO1S [10]

性能数据会有细微的变化，偶尔NonOptimized会更快，有时ForLoop和GenerateRandomString会切换谁领先。

LinqIsTheNewBlack (10000x) = 96762 ticks elapsed (9.6762 ms) ForLoop (10000x) = 28970滴答流逝(2.897毫秒) ForLoopNonOptimized (10000x) = 33336滴答流逝(3.3336毫秒) 重复(10000x) = 78547滴答流逝(7.8547毫秒) GenerateRandomString (10000x) = 27416 tick elapsed (2.7416 ms) securefastrrandom (10000x) = 13176滴答流逝(5ms)最低[不同的机器] securefastrrandom - nocache (10000x) = 39541 ticks elapsed (17ms) low[不同的机器]

一个包含所有字母字符和数字的解决方案，你可以随心所欲地更改:

public static string RandomString(int length)
{
    Random rand = new Random();
    string charbase = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
    return new string(Enumerable.Range(0,length)
           .Select(_ => charbase[rand.Next(charbase.Length)])
           .ToArray());
}

如果你喜欢单行方法;)

public static Random rand = new Random();
public const string charbase = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
 

public static string RandomString(int length) =>
        new string(Enumerable.Range(0,length).Select(_ => charbase[rand.Next(charbase.Length)]).ToArray());

不是100%确定，因为我没有测试这里的每个选项，但在我测试的选项中，这个是最快的。用秒表计时，它显示9-10滴答，所以如果速度比安全更重要，试试这个:

 private static Random random = new Random(); 
 public static string Random(int length)
     {   
          var stringChars = new char[length];

          for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
              {
                  stringChars[i] = (char)random.Next(0x30, 0x7a);                  
                  return new string(stringChars);
              }
     }
