C#: Random Text Generator

Whenever I need to generate random text I generally just Google ‘Random Text’ and pull up the first or second site in the list. This works great when you can copy and paste the text from your browser, but I ran across a situation where I needed to generate some random text from within one of my applications. So, I whipped up a small method that generated a random string of a given length and continued on my way. But, soon thereafter the inner programmer got the better of me and I just had to turn the simple method into an entire class that aided in random text generation.

The RandomText class that I created allows you to generate random strings (words), sentences, and paragraphs. Each method is overloaded with parameters that allow you to specify things like the possible word lengths that make up each sentence and the possible sentence lengths that make up each paragraph. Additionally there are methods that take no parameters and will generate a random string (word), sentence, or paragraph using default possible lengths. There are also options for adding punctuation to the sentences include middle of the sentence punctuation like commas and end of sentence punctuation like periods.

I have included the public properties and methods along with their documentation below. The actual source code can be found on codeplex here.

public class RandomText
{  
        /// <summary>
        /// Indicate whether or not to include random middle of the sentance punctuation
        /// marks in generated sentances
        /// </summary>
        public bool AddMiddleOfSentancePunctuationMarks = false;

        /// <summary>
        /// Indicates whether or not to add an end of sentance punctuation mark
        /// </summary>
        public bool AddEndOfSentancePunctuation = true;
      
        public RandomText()
