RandomNumberGenerator::GetNonZeroBytes Method (array<Byte>^)

 

When overridden in a derived class, fills an array of bytes with a cryptographically strong random sequence of nonzero values.

Namespace:   System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
virtual void GetNonZeroBytes(
	array<unsigned char>^ data
)

Parameters

data
Type: array<System::Byte>^

The array to fill with cryptographically strong random nonzero bytes.

The length of the byte array determines how many random bytes are produced.

The following example creates a random sequence of 100 nonzero bytes and stores it in random.

array<Byte>^ random = gcnew array<Byte>(100);
//RNGCryptoServiceProvider is an implementation of a random number generator.
RNGCryptoServiceProvider^ rng = gcnew RNGCryptoServiceProvider;
rng->GetNonZeroBytes( random ); // The array is now filled with cryptographically strong random bytes, and none are zero.
