Can somebody verify this method. I need a long type number inside a range of two longs. I use the .NET Random.Next(min, max) function which return int's. Is my reasoning correct if I simply divide the long by 2, generate the random number and finally multiply it by 2 again? Or am I too enthusiastic... I understand that my random resolution will decrease but are there any other mistakes which will lead to no such a random number.
long min = st.MinimumTime.Ticks; //long is Signed 64-bit integer
long max = st.MaximumTime.Ticks;
int minInt = (int) (min / 2); //int is Signed 64-bit integer
int maxInt = (int) (max / 2); //int is Signed 64-bit integer
Random random = new Random();
int randomInt = random.Next(minInt, maxInt);
long randomLong = (randomInt * 2);
