Introduction

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)

Supported Types

  • NUMBER : 0123456789
  • SYMBOLS : !#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~"
  • ALPHABET_LOWERCASE : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
  • ALPHABET_UPPERCASE : ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
  • ALPHABET_MIXEDCASE : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
  • ALPHANUMERIC_LOWERCASE : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789
  • ALPHANUMERIC_UPPERCASE : ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789
  • ALPHANUMERIC_MIXEDCASE : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789
  • ALPHABET_LOWERCASE_WITH_SYMBOLS : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz!#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~"
  • ALPHABET_UPPERCASE_WITH_SYMBOLS : ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~"
  • ALPHABET_MIXEDCASE_WITH_SYMBOLS : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~"
  • ALPHANUMERIC_LOWERCASE_WITH_SYMBOLS : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~"
  • ALPHANUMERIC_UPPERCASE_WITH_SYMBOLS : ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~"
  • ALPHANUMERIC_MIXEDCASE_WITH_SYMBOLS : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789" !#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~"

Get Started

1. Install Package

PM> Install-Package RandomString4Net

2. Add reference in your project

3. Call the methods in your program

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);
    }
}
