DateTime.Now.Ticks repeating inside a loop

Question

I am trying to generate a unique ID for the primary key of a table and I am using DateTime.Now.Ticks for it. That\'s a requirement for now we can\'t use Ident

Answer 1

The better approach is use auto-generated Id

but If you want to stick with DataTime Tick option, then you can use this approach that will give you a unique number base on your time.

Random rand = new Random(DateTime.Now.Millisecond);

Also, you can use

Guid guid = Guid.NewGuid();

That'll also give you a unique number.

Thanks!
