Syntax
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(true)]
public class Random
Remarks
Instances of this class are initialized using a "seed",
or starting value. The series of numbers
generated by instances of the class are repeatable: given the
same seed value,
all instances of this class generate the same series of numbers.
Note: The numbers generated by this class are chosen with equal
probability from a finite set of numbers. The numbers are generated by a
definite mathematical algorithm and are therefore not truly random, but are
sufficiently random for practical purposes. For this reason, the numbers are
considered to be psuedo-random.
Thread Safety
All public static members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. No instance members are guaranteed to be thread safe.
