How do you generate a random number in C#?

Question

I would like to generate a random floating point number between 2 values. What is the best way to do this in C#?

Answer 1

Here is a snippet of how to get Cryographically safe random numbers: This will fill in the 8 bytes with a crytographically strong sequence of random values.

byte[] salt = new byte[8];
RNGCryptoServiceProvider rng = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider();
rng.GetBytes(salt);
