Increment Usernames

Hi Sean,

Instead of incrementing it by one, I suggest to append current timestamp to the username which has more advantages compared to appending one. One advantage example is you can easily identify at what time the scripts failed just by seeing the id

Below is the code for appending timestamp for usernames

 public string getUsername()
        {
            DateTime time = DateTime.Now;           
            string format = "dMMMdddhhmmyyyy"; // This you can change according to your need.
            String username= "username_" + time.ToString(format) + DateTime.Now.Millisecond;
            return username.ToLower();
        }

 

output : username_15dectue11172015468

cs_um_18augtue06172015468

Hope this information helps you.
