Syntax

public static class PseudoRandomNumberExtensions

Methods

GeneratePseudoRandomNumberAsync(ConsensusClient, PseudoRandomNumberParams, Action<IConsensusContext>?)

Generates a pseudo random number, which can be retrieved via the transaction's record.

Declaration

public static Task<TransactionReceipt> GeneratePseudoRandomNumberAsync(this ConsensusClient client, PseudoRandomNumberParams randomParams, Action<IConsensusContext>? configure = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ConsensusClient	client	The Consensus Node Client.
PseudoRandomNumberParams	randomParams	The parameters for generating the pseudo random number.
Action<IConsensusContext>	configure	Optional callback method providing an opportunity to modify the execution configuration for just this method call. It is executed prior to submitting the request to the network.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<TransactionReceipt>	A transaction receipt indicating the success of the operation.

Examples

// Request 48 bytes of network-generated pseudo-random data. The
// receipt itself only confirms consensus; fetch the transaction
// record from a mirror node to read the value out
// (BytesPseudoRandomNumberRecord when MaxValue is null, or
// RangedPseudoRandomNumberRecord with an int when MaxValue is set).
var receipt = await client.GeneratePseudoRandomNumberAsync(new PseudoRandomNumberParams());
Console.WriteLine($"PRNG tx id: {receipt.TransactionId}");

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	If required arguments are missing.
InvalidOperationException	If required context configuration is missing.
PrecheckException	If the gateway node create rejected the request upon submission.
ConsensusException	If the network was unable to come to consensus before the duration of the transaction expired.
TransactionException	If the network rejected the create request as invalid or had missing data.
