Since I need to be able to differentiate it from another random generated string it would be nice if I could generate numerous strings from the same base value or something.

Coffee break solution:
Random r = new Random();
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            string[] a = "A B C D E F a b c d e f".Split();
            for (int i = 0 ; i < 15 ; i++)
            {
                sb.Append(a[r.Next(0,a.Length)]);
            }
            string result = sb.ToString();
Add to a[] to allow bigger choice of characters.....
