I'm trying to create a unique code generator and I'm using the solution found here: How can I generate random alphanumeric strings?
When I run the app the console outputs the same string 8 times instead of outputting 8 different codes. However if I slow the app down by adding sleep (20ms) between each write then the code outputs 8 different strings.
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Press Ctrl+F5 (or go to Debug > Start Without Debugging) to run your app.
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
string code = GetUniqueCode(8);
Console.WriteLine(code);
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
private static string GetUniqueCode(int length)
{
var chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
var stringChars = new char[length];
var random = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < stringChars.Length; i++)
{
stringChars[i] = chars[random.Next(chars.Length)];
}
var finalString = new String(stringChars);
return finalString;
}
}
