Automatically create an alphanumeric unique identifier with C #

Question

Total line length is 5 characters

I have a script, ID starts with

A0001 and ends on A9999, then B0001 to B9999 to F0001 to f9999

thereafter

FA001 - FA999, then FB001 - FB999 to ... FFFF9

Please offer any idea on how to create this format.

Answer 1

public static IEnumerable<string> Numbers()
{
    return Enumerable.Range(0xA0000, 0xFFFF9 - 0xA0000 + 1)
        .Select(x => x.ToString("X"));
}

You may also have an id generator class:

public class IdGenerator
{
    private const int Min = 0xA0000;
    private const int Max = 0xFFFF9;
    private int _value = Min - 1;

    public string NextId()
    {
        if (_value < Max)
        {
            _value++;
        }
        else
        {
            _value = Min;
        }
        return _value.ToString("X");
    }
}

Answer 2

see this code

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{   
    string get = label1.Text.Substring(7); //label1.text=ATHCUS-100
    MessageBox.Show(get);
    string ou="ATHCUS-"+(Convert.ToInt32(get)+1).ToString();
    label1.Text = ou.ToString();

}

          result = result = _currentBase + _currentDigit.ToString("D" + prefixZeroCount.ToString());
        }
        else
        {
          result = _currentBase + _currentDigit.ToString();
        }            
        _currentDigit++;
        return result;
      }
      else
      {
        _currentDigit = _minDigit;
        if(_currentBase[_currentBase.Length - 1] == _maxChar)
        {
          _currentBase = _currentBase.Remove(_currentBase.Length - 1) + _minChar;
          _currentBase += _minChar.ToString();
        }
        else
        {
          var newChar = _currentBase[_currentBase.Length - 1];
          newChar++;
          _currentBase = _currentBase.Remove(_currentBase.Length - 1) + newChar.ToString();
        }

        return NextID();
      }
    }
    else
    {         
        _currentDigit = _minDigit;
        _currentBase += _minChar.ToString();
       return NextID();            

    }      
  }

  public static string NextID(string currentId)
  {
    if(string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(currentId))
      return NextID();

    var charCount = currentId.Length;
    var indexFound = -1;
    for(int i = 0; i < charCount; i++)
    {
      if(!char.IsNumber(currentId[i]))
        continue;

      indexFound = i;
      break;
    }
    if(indexFound > -1)
    {
      _currentBase = currentId.Substring(0, indexFound);
      _currentDigit = int.Parse(currentId.Substring(indexFound)) + 1;
    }
    return NextID();
  }
}

_fixedLength = 4 _maxDigit = 5

A001 A002 A003 A004 A005 B001 B002 B003 B004 B005 C001 C002 C003 C004 C005 AA01 AA02 AA03 AA04 AA05 AB01 AB02 AB03 AB04 AB05 AC01 AC02 AC03 AC04 AC05

Answer 4

,

SELECT TOP 1 [ID_COLUMN] FROM [NAME_OF_TABLE] ORDER BY [ID_COLUMN] DESC

Read the result for the variable, and then run the following function to get the next identifier.

public string NextID(string lastID)
{
    var allLetters = new string[] {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"};
    var lastLetter = lastID.Substring(0, 1);
    var lastNumber = int.Parse(lastID.Substring(1));

    if (Array.IndexOf(allLetters, lastLetter) < allLetters.Length - 1 && 
        lastNumber == 9999) 
    {
        //increase the letter
        lastLetter = allLetters(Array.IndexOf(allLetters, lastLetter) + 1);
        lastNumber = 0;
    } else {
        lastLetter = "!";
    }

    var result = lastLetter + (lastNumber + 1).ToString("0000");

    //ensure we haven't exceeded the upper limit
    if (result.SubString(0, 1) == "!") {
        result = "Upper Bounds Exceeded!";
    }

    return result;
}

DISCLAIMER
This code will only generate the first set of identifiers. I do not understand the process of generating the second set.

Answer 5

If you need to take it from the database and do it, you can use something like the following.

int dbid = /* get id from db */
string id = dbid.ToString("X5");

This should give you the format you are looking for as a direct converter from the database identifier.
