I was using the .net source browser here and looked up the Random class to discover that it has a Shared property on it that gives access to a thread-safe implementation. I needed something similar, so I tried accessing it in my code, but the Random class seems to not have any static properties on it, and I could find no mention (outside of this source) on the MSDN docs of such a property.

I also wasn't able to figure out whether source.dot.net points to an official version of .Net (and if it does, what version), however the tool that generated it is also used for referencesource.microsoft.com.

Is there a Shared property available on System.Random in any version of .Net, and is source.dot.net a legitimate reference for .net source code?
