Best way to generate a random float in C#

Feb 4, 2013 See the question and my original answer on StackOverflow

Another solution is to do this:

static float NextFloat(Random random)
{
    float f;
    do
    {
        byte[] bytes = new byte[4];
        random.NextBytes(bytes);
        f = BitConverter.ToSingle(bytes, 0);
    }
    while (float.IsInfinity(f) || float.IsNaN(f));
    return f;
}
