Question

I’m using C# in .NET Framework 3.5 and am trying to generate a random integer by using Random(). My code is here:

using System.Random;

int randomNumber;
Random RNG = new Random();
randomNumber = RNG.Next(1,10);

I think everything should be alright, but I’m getting the error that System.Random isn’t a valid namespace, but I’m pretty sure it is…

Anybody know what’s the problem or some other method I should be using to generate a random integer within a range?

Answer 1

Random is a class in the System namespace. Change the first line to just using System; and you should be good to go.
