Using .NET you can easily generate a random number withing a range, by using the Random class. In the following example a random number between 1 and 69 will be generated:
System.Random RandNum = new System.Random(); int MyRandomNumber = RandNum.Next(69);
To generate a random number between 1986 and 2005 you would use:
System.Random RandNum = new System.Random(); int MyRandomNumber = RandNum.Next(1986, 2005);
And finally, to generate a random number without specifying a range, the code below should be used:
System.Random RandNum = new System.Random(); int MyRandomNumber = RandNum.Next();
The example above will return a nonnegative random number.
