I’d like to generate random unique strings like the ones being generated by MSDN library.(Error Object), for example. A string like ‘t9zk6eay’ should be generated.

Using Guid would be a pretty good way, but to get something looking like your example, you probably want to convert it to a Base64 string:
I get rid of ‘=’ and ‘+’ to get a little closer to your example, otherwise you get ‘==’ at the end of your string and a ‘+’ in the middle. Here’s an example output string:
‘OZVV5TpP4U6wJthaCORZEQ’
