There is a library to generate Random numbers, so why in't there a library for generation random strings ?

In other words how to generate a random string, and specify the length you want, or better generate unique string on specification you want i.e specify the length, a unique string within my application is enough for me.

I know I can create a Guid (globally unique identifier) but those are quite long, longer they need to be.

int length = 8;
string s = RandomString.NextRandomString(length)
uniquestringCollection = new UniquestringsCollection(length)
string s2 = uniquestringCollection.GetNext();
