Implementation change to .NET's Random()

Question

I am migrating a method that is used for decoding from .NET Framework 1.1 to .NET Framework 4. I noticed that implementation of Random changed. So given the same seed, Rando

Answer 1

Alternatively, might I suggest using System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator class to generate cryptographically strong random byte arrays?

RandomNumberGenerator rng = RandomNumberGenerator.Create();
byte[] bytes = new byte[128];
rng.GetBytes(bytes);

I will join the rest of the comments, and mention that relying on an undocumented implementation is bad. More so, if you're actually relying on a predictable "randomness" - if you're using this for anything that should be "secure" - it is totally wrong.
