How do I generate a random int number?

Question

How do I generate a random integer in C#?

Answer 1

For strong random seed I always use CryptoRNG and not Time.

using System;
using System.Security.Cryptography;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var random = new Random(GetSeed());
        Console.WriteLine(random.Next());
    }

    public static int GetSeed() 
    {
        using (var rng = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider())
        {
            var intBytes = new byte[4];
            rng.GetBytes(intBytes);
            return BitConverter.ToInt32(intBytes, 0);
        }
    }
}
