I am getting ready to launch a website I designed in ASP.NET.
The problem is, I don’t want my customers to have a super low order id(example:#00000001).
How would I generate a Unique(and random) Order ID, so the customer would get an order number like K20434034?
Set your Identity Seed for your OrderId to a large number. Then when you present an order number to the user, you could have a constant that you prepend to the order id (like all orders start with K), or you could generate a random character string and store that on the order record as well.
