Generate ordered list of alphanumeric strings in .NET (C#)I have a programming question to generate an ordered list of
alphanumeric strings of length 4. >From 0000 to ZZZZ, numbers first, then one alphabet rest numbers, then two alphabets rest numberst, etc.EG 0000-9999 then A000-Z999 then AA00 to ZZ99 then AAA0 - ZZZ9 then AAAA - ZZZZ Class assignment, right? So you wouldn't think of solving this rather simple
problem yourself?

The
problem was I was trying to do it with the help of the FagsAndDykesCollection class but once I stopped doing that, it was a breeze. ;) RobinS wrote: Show quoteHide quote > Wow, you have a much more robust version of the .Net > framework than I do.
