DKNet.RandomCreator

A tiny, dependency-free .NET library for generating cryptographically secure random strings and character arrays — suitable for passwords, tokens, and other secrets. Randomness comes from System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator, not System.Random.

Installation

dotnet add package DKNet.RandomCreator

Features

  • Random string or char[] generation of any length (RandomCreators.NewString / RandomCreators.NewChars), default length 25
  • StringCreatorOptions.MinNumbers / MinSpecials — guarantee exact quotas of digits and symbol characters (great for password-strength rules)
  • Letters-only output by simply leaving both quotas at their default of 0
  • Output is shuffled so required digits/symbols are never clumped at a fixed position
  • No DKNet or third-party dependencies — just the .NET base class library

Quick start

using DKNet.RandomCreator;

// 25-character letters-only string (defaults)
string token = RandomCreators.NewString();

// 32 characters, at least 4 digits and 2 symbols, rest letters
var options = new StringCreatorOptions { MinNumbers = 4, MinSpecials = 2 };
string strongPassword = RandomCreators.NewString(32, options);

Customisation reference

Both entry points take the same two arguments; every option lives on StringCreatorOptions.

Knob Type Default Effect
length (first argument) int 25 Total characters produced. Must be greater than zero, or ArgumentException is thrown.
options (second argument) StringCreatorOptions? null → a fresh StringCreatorOptions Quota configuration.
StringCreatorOptions.MinNumbers int 0 Exact number of digits included, drawn from 1234567890.
StringCreatorOptions.MinSpecials int 0 Exact number of symbols included, drawn from the 30-character pool !@#$%^&*()-_=+[]{}\|;:',.<>/?`~.

MinNumbers + MinSpecials must be strictly less than length; the remainder is filled from the 52-character a-z/A-Z pool and the whole buffer is then shuffled with RandomNumberGenerator.Shuffle. There is no way to supply your own character pools and no seed, so output is never reproducible.
