Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	Next	Returns a nonnegative random number. (Overrides RandomNext.)
	Next(Int32)	Returns a nonnegative random number less than the specified maximum. (Overrides RandomNext(Int32).)
	Next(Int32, Int32)	Returns a random number within a specified range. (Overrides RandomNext(Int32, Int32).)
	NextBytes	Fills the elements of a specified array of bytes with random numbers. (Overrides RandomNextBytes(Byte).)
	NextDouble	Returns a random number between 0.0 and 1.0. (Overrides RandomNextDouble.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	HasMethod	Checks whether an object implements a method with the given name. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	IsEqual	Compares two objects for equality, performing an elementwise comparison if the elements are vectors or matrices. (Defined by Matrix.)
	To(Type)	Overloaded. Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	ToT	Overloaded. Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)

Remarks

The class inherits the Random and overrides its random numbers generation methods providing thread safety by guarding call to the base class with a lock. See documentation to Random for additional information about the base class.
