Field Value
A long which represents the random number generator multiplier.Remarks
If not set, the multiplier has the value zero. If a multiplier is set then the linear congruential generator, defined in the base class System.Random, is replaced by the generator
seed = (multiplier*seed) mod 
See Donald Knuth, The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 2, for guidelines in choosing a multiplier. Some possible values are 16807, 397204094, 950706376.
