Random Bytes in C#

Hey. I need to randomly pick byte values that are either 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16. How would I do this?

 

I currently have a byte assigned to no value but I want a random number generator to pick from those numbers. How would I do that?

 

Thanks.

Get a random number from 0 to 4, shift one to the left (at least in C/C++, 1 << number, a.k.a powers of two). 


 

Ok! Thanks
