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

Here's a simple way using OLINQ:

// Input array
List lst = new List();
for (int i = 0; i < 500; i += 1) lst.Add(i.ToString());

// Output array
List lstRandom = new List();

// Randomize
Random rnd = new Random();
lstRandom.AddRange(from s in lst orderby rnd.Next(100) select s);
