实际上，一个好的解决方案是为随机数生成器提供一个线程安全且不使用锁的静态方法。

这样，同时访问web应用程序的多个用户就不会得到相同的随机字符串。

这里有3个例子: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/pfxteam/archive/2009/02/19/9434171.aspx

我会用最后一个:

public static class RandomGen3
{
    private static RNGCryptoServiceProvider _global = 
        new RNGCryptoServiceProvider();
    [ThreadStatic]
    private static Random _local;

    public static int Next()
    {
        Random inst = _local;
        if (inst == null)
        {
            byte[] buffer = new byte[4];
            _global.GetBytes(buffer);
            _local = inst = new Random(
                BitConverter.ToInt32(buffer, 0));
        }
        return inst.Next();
    }
}

然后就可以适当消去了

Random random = new Random();

只需调用RandomGen3.Next()，而您的方法可以保持静态。

您应该在构造函数中初始化一个类级随机对象，并在每次调用时重用它(这延续了相同的伪随机数序列)。无参数构造函数已经用Environment为生成器播下种子。TickCount内部。

public static class StringHelpers
{
    public static readonly Random rnd = new Random();

    public static readonly string EnglishAlphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
    public static readonly string RussianAlphabet = "абвгдеёжзийклмнопрстуфхцчшщъыьэюя";

    public static unsafe string GenerateRandomUTF8String(int length, string alphabet)
    {
        if (length <= 0)
            return String.Empty;
        if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(alphabet))
            throw new ArgumentNullException("alphabet");

        byte[] randomBytes = rnd.NextBytes(length);

        string s = new string(alphabet[0], length);

        fixed (char* p = s)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < s.Length; i++)
            {
                *(p + i) = alphabet[randomBytes[i] % alphabet.Length];
            }
        }
        return s;
    }

    public static unsafe string GenerateRandomUTF8String(int length, params UnicodeCategory[] unicodeCategories)
    {
        if (length <= 0)
            return String.Empty;
        if (unicodeCategories == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("unicodeCategories");
        if (unicodeCategories.Length == 0)
            return rnd.NextString(length);

        byte[] randomBytes = rnd.NextBytes(length);

        string s = randomBytes.ConvertToString();
        fixed (char* p = s)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < s.Length; i++)
            {
                while (!unicodeCategories.Contains(char.GetUnicodeCategory(*(p + i))))
                    *(p + i) += (char)*(p + i);
            }
        }
        return s;
    }
}

你还需要这个:

public static class RandomExtensions
{
    public static string NextString(this Random rnd, int length)
    {
        if (length <= 0)
            return String.Empty;

        return rnd.NextBytes(length).ConvertToString();
    }

    public static byte[] NextBytes(this Random rnd, int length)
    {
        if (length <= 0)
            return new byte[0];

        byte[] randomBytes = new byte[length];
        rnd.NextBytes(randomBytes);
        return randomBytes;
    }
}

这:

public static class ByteArrayExtensions
{
    public static string ConvertToString(this byte[] bytes)
    {
        if (bytes.Length <= 0)
            return string.Empty;

        char[] chars = new char[bytes.Length / sizeof(char)];
        Buffer.BlockCopy(bytes, 0, chars, 0, bytes.Length);
        return new string(chars);
    }
}

这是另一个基于guid的想法。我在Visual Studio性能测试中使用它来生成只包含字母数字字符的随机字符串。

public string GenerateRandomString(int stringLength)
{
    Random rnd = new Random();
    Guid guid;
    String randomString = string.Empty;

    int numberOfGuidsRequired = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)stringLength / 32d);
    for (int i = 0; i < numberOfGuidsRequired; i++)
    {
        guid = Guid.NewGuid();
        randomString += guid.ToString().Replace("-", "");
    }

    return randomString.Substring(0, stringLength);
}

我的RandomString()方法来生成一个随机字符串。

private static readonly Random _rand = new Random();

/// <summary>
/// Generate a random string.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="length">The length of random string. The minimum length is 3.</param>
/// <returns>The random string.</returns>
public string RandomString(int length)
{
    length = Math.Max(length, 3);

    byte[] bytes = new byte[length];
    _rand.NextBytes(bytes);
    return Convert.ToBase64String(bytes).Substring(0, length);
}

这是因为Random的每个新实例都在快速调用中生成相同的数字。不要一直创建新实例，只需调用next()并在方法之外声明随机类。
