>Hi all,

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.

List<Guid> names = new List<Guid>();
byte[] r = new byte[8];
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
    RandomNumberGenerator.Create().GetBytes( r );
    names.Add( new Guid(1,2,3,r) );
}
var accounts = names.Select (n => n.ToString("N"));
