I was looking for a more specific answer, where I want to control the format of the random string and came across this post. For example: license plates (of cars) have a specific format (per country) and I wanted to created random license plates. I decided to write my own extension method of Random for this. (this is in order to reuse the same Random object, as you could have doubles in multi-threading scenarios). I created a gist (https://gist.github.com/SamVanhoutte/808845ca78b9c041e928), but will also copy the extension class here:

void Main()
{
    Random rnd = new Random();
    rnd.GetString("1-###-000").Dump();
}

public static class RandomExtensions
{
    public static string GetString(this Random random, string format)
    {
        // Based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1344221/how-can-i-generate-random-alphanumeric-strings-in-c
        // Added logic to specify the format of the random string (# will be random string, 0 will be random numeric, other characters remain)
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
        for(int formatIndex = 0; formatIndex < format.Length ; formatIndex++)
        {
            switch(format.ToUpper()[formatIndex])
            {
                case '0': result.Append(getRandomNumeric(random)); break;
                case '#': result.Append(getRandomCharacter(random)); break;
                default : result.Append(format[formatIndex]); break;
            }
        }
        return result.ToString();
    }

    private static char getRandomCharacter(Random random)
    {
        string chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
        return chars[random.Next(chars.Length)];
    }

    private static char getRandomNumeric(Random random)
    {
        string nums = "0123456789";
        return nums[random.Next(nums.Length)];
    }
}

我听说LINQ是新的黑色，所以下面是我使用LINQ的尝试:

private static Random random = new Random();

public static string RandomString(int length)
{
    const string chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
    return new string(Enumerable.Repeat(chars, length)
        .Select(s => s[random.Next(s.Length)]).ToArray());
}

(注意:Random类的使用使得它不适用于任何与安全性相关的事情，比如创建密码或令牌。如果你需要强随机数生成器，请使用RNGCryptoServiceProvider类。)

这是我从Dot Net Perls的Sam Allen那里偷来的一个例子

如果你只需要8个字符，那么在系统中使用Path.GetRandomFileName()。IO命名空间。Sam说使用“Path.”这里的GetRandomFileName方法有时更优越，因为它使用RNGCryptoServiceProvider来获得更好的随机性。然而，它被限制为11个随机字符。”

GetRandomFileName总是返回一个12个字符的字符串，第9个字符是句点。所以你需要去掉句点(因为这不是随机的)，然后从字符串中取出8个字符。实际上，你可以只取前8个字符而不用考虑句点。

public string Get8CharacterRandomString()
{
    string path = Path.GetRandomFileName();
    path = path.Replace(".", ""); // Remove period.
    return path.Substring(0, 8);  // Return 8 character string
}

PS:谢谢，Sam

最简单和最灵活的加密安全解决方案(。NET Core 3.0+):

如果你使用的是。net Core 3.0或更高版本，你可以在RandomNumberGenerator类上使用新的静态GetInt32方法(这是加密安全的)来为给定的字符集生成随机索引，并以这种方式很容易地填充结果。

这种方法比这个答案中提出的方法要简单得多;它还提供了完全的灵活性，因为你可以传入任何你想要的字符集。

public static string GenerateRandomString(int length, IEnumerable<char> charSet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789")
{
    var charArray = charSet.Distinct().ToArray();
    char[] result = new char[length];
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
        result[i] = charArray[RandomNumberGenerator.GetInt32(charArray.Length)];
    return new string(result);
}

用法:

string randomAlphanumericString = GenerateRandomString(length: 10);
