RandomString4Net is a library developed in .NET Framework to generate N random strings of M length from various categories. It is fast and suports string generation of various length.<br><br>
It is parameterized to generate both a single or a list of random strings.<br>
Random strings can be of types alphabet and alphanumeric supporting all the cases viz. lower, upper and mixed.<br>
It also supports symbol during the random string generation process. Following are the list of supported symbols
<br>
!#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~"
It also allows you to generate random string with only a subset of symbols from the above supported list. It is an ideal use for project like
password generator
mobile number generator
unique-id generator
unique filename generator
raw data generator for data processing/parsing projects
fake name generator
etc. etc.
Features
Supports single or multiple random string generation
Supports random string generation from alphabet, numbers, symbols or a combination of them
Supports customized length of randon string
Supports random length of generated strings with a fixed max length
Supports true unique random number generation (v1.3.0)
Built with compilation conditions to take advantage of newer .NET Framework functionalities
Improved performance in newer .NET Framework ( >2.0)
Added support to force include strings of each type (version 1.4.0)
Added support for .NET (>5.0)
Added support for .NET Core (>2.2)
Added support for .NET Standard (>2.0)
Added support for RandomNumberGenerator in .NET 6.0 and higher as RNGCryptoServiceProvider is marked as obsolete
using RandomString4Net;
namespace RandomString4NetTester
{
public void Main()
{
// generating one random string from lowercase alphabets
string randomString = RandomString.GetString(Types.ALPHABET_LOWERCASE);
System.Console.WriteLine(randomString);
// generating 100 random string from all mixedcase alphabet, numbers and all supported symbols
List<string> randomAlphaNumbericStrings = RandomString.GetStrings(Types.ALPHANUMERIC_MIXEDCASE_WITH_SYMBOLS, 100);
foreach (string s in randomAlphaNumbericStrings)
System.Console.WriteLine(s);
// generating 200 random string from uppercase alphabet with custom symbols
List<string> randomAlphabetWithCustomSymbols = RandomString.GetStrings(Types.ALPHABET_UPPERCASE, 200, "/+*-");
foreach (string s in randomAlphabetWithCustomSymbols)
System.Console.WriteLine(s);
// generating 1000 true random strings of length 20 from uppercase alphabet with custom symbols
List<string> trueUniqueRandomStrings = RandomString.GetStrings(Types.ALPHABET_UPPERCASE, 1000, 20, false, true);
foreach (string s in trueUniqueRandomStrings)
System.Console.WriteLine(s);
// generating 100 random string of mixedcase alphanummeric with custom symbols
List<string> randomAlphabetWithCustomSymbols = RandomString.GetStrings(Types.ALPHANUMERIC_MIXEDCASE_WITH_SYMBOLS, 100, "/+*-", forceOccuranceOfEachType: true);
foreach (string s in randomAlphabetWithCustomSymbols)
System.Console.WriteLine(s);
