Random Letters

What would be the best way to generate a random letter? Would using Random to generate an ASCII code and then convert to char work? Is there an easier way?

I don't know whether it's the best way or not, but at least it's working

[COLOR="Teal"]Random[/COLOR] r = [COLOR="Blue"]new[/COLOR] [COLOR="Teal"]Random[/COLOR]();
[COLOR="#0000ff"]char[/COLOR] random = ([COLOR="#0000ff"]char[/COLOR])(r.NextDouble() > 0.5 ? r.Next( 65, 90 ) : r.Next( 97, 122 ));

Maybe you could make a string array and fill it with the alphabet. then ask for a random between 0 and 27. The random number would be the index for the letter in the array.

Random r = new Random();
char rand = (char)('a' + r.Next(26));
