We can't answer that - we have no idea how this is supposed to differ from the previous one, and how it differs from the next one.

Is the format constant like 1st special characters and then capital letters then followed by numbers separated by "-"?

Hello Ahmad,
You can use this code --


C#
private string GetRandomString()
       {
           Random rand = new Random((int)DateTime.Now.Ticks);
           int randomIndex1 = rand.Next(100, 999);
           int randomIndex2 = rand.Next(10000, 99999);
           string randstring = RandomString(3);

           string result = "#" + randstring + "-" + randomIndex1.ToString() + "-" + randomIndex2.ToString();
           return result;
       }

       private static Random random = new Random((int)DateTime.Now.Ticks);
       private string RandomString(int size)
       {
           StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
           char ch;
           for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
           {
               ch = Convert.ToChar(Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(26 * random.NextDouble() + 65)));
               builder.Append(ch);
           }

           return builder.ToString();
       }
