Get random item from IList< T >

In what could turn out to be a series of posts about helpful extension methods I thought I’d include this quick little method for getting a random item from an IList collection.

public static T GetRandomItem<T>(this IList<T> collection)
        {
            return collection[(new Random().Next(0, collection.Count))];
        }

This can then be used as follows:

var collectionList = new List<string> {"String 1", "String 2", "String 3"};
string item = collectionList.GetRandomItem();
