Random by type

var rnd = new Random();

bool   val1  = rnd.NextBoolean();
sbyte  val2  = rnd.NextSByte();
byte   val3  = rnd.NextByte();
short  val4  = rnd.NextInt16();
ushort val5  = rnd.NextUInt16();
int    val6  = rnd.NextInt32();
uint   val7  = rnd.NextUInt32();
long   val8  = rnd.NextInt64();
ulong  val9  = rnd.NextUInt64();
float  val10 = rnd.NextFloat();
string val11 = rnd.NextString("abcdefg", 8);

Thread safe random

Thread safe random.

bool   val1  = ConcurrentRandom.NextBoolean();
sbyte  val2  = ConcurrentRandom.NextSByte();
byte   val3  = ConcurrentRandom.NextByte();
short  val4  = ConcurrentRandom.NextInt16();
ushort val5  = ConcurrentRandom.NextUInt16();
int    val6  = ConcurrentRandom.NextInt32();
uint   val7  = ConcurrentRandom.NextUInt32();
long   val8  = ConcurrentRandom.NextInt64();
ulong  val9  = ConcurrentRandom.NextUInt64();
float  val10 = ConcurrentRandom.NextFloat();
string val11 = ConcurrentRandom.NextString("abcdefg", 8);
ConcurrentRandom.NextBytes(byteArray);

Crypto strength random

using rnd = new CryptoRandom();

bool   val1  = rnd.NextBoolean();
sbyte  val2  = rnd.NextSByte();
byte   val3  = rnd.NextByte();
short  val4  = rnd.NextInt16();
ushort val5  = rnd.NextUInt16();
int    val6  = rnd.NextInt32();
uint   val7  = rnd.NextUInt32();
long   val8  = rnd.NextInt64();
ulong  val9  = rnd.NextUInt64();
float  val10 = rnd.NextFloat();
string val11 = rnd.NextString("abcdefg", 8);
rnd.NextBytes(byteArray);

Thread safe random

Thread safe crypto strength random.

bool   val1  = ConcurrentCryptoRandom.NextBoolean();
sbyte  val2  = ConcurrentCryptoRandom.NextSByte();
byte   val3  = ConcurrentCryptoRandom.NextByte();
short  val4  = ConcurrentCryptoRandom.NextInt16();
ushort val5  = ConcurrentCryptoRandom.NextUInt16();
int    val6  = ConcurrentCryptoRandom.NextInt32();
uint   val7  = ConcurrentCryptoRandom.NextUInt32();
long   val8  = ConcurrentCryptoRandom.NextInt64();
ulong  val9  = ConcurrentCryptoRandom.NextUInt64();
float  val10 = ConcurrentCryptoRandom.NextFloat();
string val11 = ConcurrentCryptoRandom.NextString("abcdefg", 8);
ConcurrentCryptoRandom.NextBytes(byteArray);

Fast random

using rnd = new FastRandom();

bool   val1  = rnd.NextBoolean();
sbyte  val2  = rnd.NextSByte();
byte   val3  = rnd.NextByte();
short  val4  = rnd.NextInt16();
ushort val5  = rnd.NextUInt16();
int    val6  = rnd.NextInt32();
uint   val7  = rnd.NextUInt32();
long   val8  = rnd.NextInt64();
ulong  val9  = rnd.NextUInt64();
float  val10 = rnd.NextFloat();
string val11 = rnd.NextString("abcdefg", 8);
rnd.NextBytes(byteArray);

CryptoRandom

Drop-in replacement for System.Random that gets more random data from Cryptographic Service Provider.

Example

Works exactly like System.Random, except you may want to dispose of it when you are done. (If you don't dispose of it, the destructor will do it for you upon garbage collect.)

var rnd = new CryptoRandom();
var dice = rnd.Next(1, 7); // A random number between 1 and 6 inclusive
rnd.Dispose();

Or with using:

using (var rnd = new CryptoRandom()) {
	var percent = rnd.NextDouble() * 100;
	Console.WriteLine($"You are {percent}% done, please wait...");
}

Note that it is recommended to create a shared Random object, and in case of multiple threads use synchronized access to generate random data.

public static class Main {
	public static CryptoRandom Rnd = new CryptoRandomRandom();

	public static void Start() {
		int dice;
		lock (Rnd)
			dice = Rnd.Next(1, 7); // A random number between 1 and 6 inclusive
	}
}

Benchmarks

Each execution is 1.000.000 calculation of random + loop overhead. So 2.381 ms / 1M is 0.002381 ms per calculation = 2.381 us (microseconds). In case of FastRandom the loop overhead may account for around 50% of the time.
