static signed char NextSByte(
	Random^ random, 
	signed char minValue, 
	signed char maxValue, 
	bool inclusiveUpperBound = false

F#

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
[<CLSCompliantAttribute(false)>]
static member NextSByte : 
        random : Random * 
        minValue : sbyte * 
        maxValue : sbyte * 
        ?inclusiveUpperBound : bool 
(* Defaults:
        let _inclusiveUpperBound = defaultArg inclusiveUpperBound false
*)
-> sbyte

Parameters

random Random: The Random instance to use.
minValue SByte: The inclusive lower bound of the random number returned.
maxValue SByte: The upper bound of the random number returned. Must be greater or equal to minValue.
inclusiveUpperBound Boolean (Optional): to allow that the generated value is equal to maxValue; otherwise, . This parameter is optional.
Default value: .

Return Value

SByte
An 8-bit signed integer that is greater than or equal to minValue and less than or equal to maxValue. If inclusiveUpperBound is , then maxValue is an exclusive upper bound; however, if minValue equals maxValue, maxValue is returned.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type Random. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException	random is .
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	maxValue is less than minValue.
