Best way to randomize an array with .NET

Question

What is the best way to randomize an array of strings with .NET? My array contains about 500 strings and I\'d like to create a new Array with the same strings b

Answer 1

Randomizing the array is intensive as you have to shift around a bunch of strings. Why not just randomly read from the array? In the worst case you could even create a wrapper class with a getNextString(). If you really do need to create a random array then you could do something like

for i = 0 -> i= array.length * 5
   swap two strings in random places

The *5 is arbitrary.
