C# Class Thinktecture.IdentityModel.CryptoRandom

A class that mimics the standard Random class in the .NET Framework - but uses RNGCryptoServiceProvider internally.

Inheritance: System.Random

Public Methods

Method	Description
CryptoRandom ( ) : System	Initializes a new instance of the CryptoRandom class.
CryptoRandom ( Int32 ignoredSeed ) : System	Initializes a new instance of the CryptoRandom class.
Next ( ) : Int32	Returns a nonnegative random number.
Next ( Int32 maxValue ) : Int32	Returns a nonnegative random number less than the specified maximum.
Next ( Int32 minValue, Int32 maxValue ) : Int32	Returns a random number within a specified range.
NextBytes ( byte buffer ) : void	Fills the elements of a specified array of bytes with random numbers.
NextDouble ( ) : double	Returns a random number between 0.0 and 1.0.

Initializes a new instance of the CryptoRandom class.

public CryptoRandom ( ) : System
return	System

Initializes a new instance of the CryptoRandom class.

public CryptoRandom ( Int32 ignoredSeed ) : System
ignoredSeed	System.Int32	seed (ignored)
