Generate random 6 digit number

Question

I've been searching for a couple of hours and I just can't seem to find a answer to this question. I want to generate a random number with 6 digits. Some of you might tell me to use this code:

        Random generator = new Random();         int r = generator.Next(100000, 1000000); 

But that limits my 6 digits to all be above 100 000 in value. I want to be able to generate a int with 000 001, 000 002 etc. I later want to convert this integer to a string.

Answer 1

If you want a string to lead with zeroes, try this. You cannot get an int like 001.

    Random generator = new Random();     String r = generator.Next(0, 1000000).ToString("D6"); 

Answer 2

You want to have a string:

Random r = new Random(); var x = r.Next(0, 1000000); string s = x.ToString("000000"); 

For example,

x = "2124" s = "002124"
