How to generate 6 dig random number (within specific interval)? would
Random rand = new Random();
still work in this case? (e.g rand.Next(000000, 000101)) I need to keep 6dig format
asp.net C#
You need to separate the numeric value from the text representation. 000101 is the same number as 101. Pick the random number using
Next(min, max)and then format it however you want, e.g. withvalue.ToString("000000")orvalue.ToString("D6")(whichever you find more readable).Note that you should take care when using
Random– there are a few subtle issues. (In particular, you very rarely want to actually create a new instance with the parameterless constructor in the line of code before you use it…)
