-> BigInteger

Parameters

random Random: The Random instance to use.
byteSize Int32: Determines the range of the generated value in bytes. For example, if this parameter is 1, then the result will be between 0 and 255 if isSigned is , or between -128 and 127 if isSigned is .
isSigned Boolean (Optional): to generate a signed result; otherwise, . This parameter is optional.
Default value: .

Return Value

BigInteger
A random BigInteger that represents an integer of byteSize bytes.

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	byteSize is negative.
OverflowException	byteSize is too large.
OutOfMemoryException	byteSize is too large.
