Provides a set of static methods for generating different types of values or sequences of values.

public static class Generate

Inheritance

object

Generate

Methods

FixedString(char, int)

Generates a string from the specified Unicode character repeated until the specified length.

public static string FixedString(char c, int count)

Parameters

c char

A Unicode character.

count int

The number of times c occurs.

Returns

string

A string filled with the specified c until the specified count.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

count is less than zero.

HashCode32(IEnumerable<IConvertible>)

Computes a suitable hash code from the specified sequence of convertibles.

public static int HashCode32(IEnumerable<IConvertible> convertibles)

Parameters

convertibles IEnumerable<IConvertible>

A sequence of objects implementing the IConvertible interface.

Returns

int

A 32-bit signed integer that is the hash code of convertibles.

HashCode32(params IConvertible[])

Computes a suitable hash code from the variable number of convertibles.

public static int HashCode32(params IConvertible[] convertibles)

Parameters

convertibles IConvertible[]

A variable number of objects implementing the IConvertible interface.

Returns

int

A 32-bit signed integer that is the hash code of convertibles.

HashCode64(IEnumerable<IConvertible>)

Computes a suitable hash code from the specified sequence of convertibles.

public static long HashCode64(IEnumerable<IConvertible> convertibles)

Parameters

convertibles IEnumerable<IConvertible>

A sequence of objects implementing the IConvertible interface.

Returns

long

A 64-bit signed integer that is the hash code of convertibles.

HashCode64(params IConvertible[])

Computes a suitable hash code from the variable number of convertibles.

public static long HashCode64(params IConvertible[] convertibles)

Parameters

convertibles IConvertible[]

A variable number of objects implementing the IConvertible interface.

Returns

long

A 64-bit signed integer that is the hash code of convertibles.

ObjectPortrayal(object, Action<ObjectPortrayalOptions>)

Generates a portrayal of the specified instance that might contain information about the instance state.

public static string ObjectPortrayal(object instance, Action<ObjectPortrayalOptions> setup = null)

Parameters

instance object

The instance of an Object to convert.

setup Action<ObjectPortrayalOptions>

The ObjectPortrayalOptions which may be configured.

Returns

string

A string that represents the specified instance.

Remarks

When determining the representation of the specified instance, these default rules applies: 1: if the ToString() method has been overridden, any further processing is skipped (the assumption is, that a custom representation is already in place) 2: any public properties having index parameters is skipped 3: any public properties is appended to the result if ToString() has not been overridden Note: do not call this method from an overridden ToString(..) method without setting BypassOverrideCheck to true; otherwise a StackOverflowException will occur.

RandomNumber(int)

Generates a random integer that is within a specified range.

public static int RandomNumber(int maximumExclusive = 2147483647)

Parameters

maximumExclusive int

The exclusive upper bound of the random number returned. maximumExclusive must be greater than or equal to 0.

Returns

int

A 32-bit signed integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than maximumExclusive; that is, the range of return values includes 0 but not maximumExclusive. If 0 equals maximumExclusive, 0 is returned.

RandomNumber(int, int)

Generates a random integer that is within a specified range.

public static int RandomNumber(int minimumInclusive, int maximumExclusive)

Parameters

minimumInclusive int

The inclusive lower bound of the random number returned.

maximumExclusive int

The exclusive upper bound of the random number returned. maximumExclusive must be greater than or equal to minimumInclusive.

Returns

int

A 32-bit signed integer greater than or equal to minimumInclusive and less than maximumExclusive; that is, the range of return values includes minimumInclusive but not maximumExclusive. If minimumInclusive equals maximumExclusive, minimumInclusive is returned.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

minimumInclusive is greater than maximumExclusive.

RandomString(int)

Generates a random string with the specified length using values of LettersAndNumbers.

public static string RandomString(int length)

Parameters

length int

The length of the random string to generate.

Returns

string

A random string from the values of LettersAndNumbers.

RandomString(int, params string[])

Generates a random string with the specified length from the provided values.

public static string RandomString(int length, params string[] values)

Parameters

length int

The length of the random string to generate.

values string[]

The values to use in the randomization process.

Returns

string

A random string from the values provided.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

values cannot be null.

ArgumentException

values contains no elements.

RangeOf<T>(int, Func<int, T>)

Generates a sequence of T within a specified range.

public static IEnumerable<T> RangeOf<T>(int count, Func<int, T> generator)

Parameters

count int

The number of T to generate.

generator Func<int, T>

The function delegate that will resolve the instance of T; the parameter passed to the delegate represents the index (zero-based) of the element to return.

Returns

IEnumerable<T>

An IEnumerable<T> that contains a range of T elements.

Type Parameters

T

The type of the elements to return.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

count is less than 0.
