I want to automatically generate a host name whenever user log in into the web.When they click the button log in, the system will automatically create a pc name (in another page)to them and the data automatically save in excel for record.

But, the problem is, I want to create a pc name including company name eg; PENN + department name from what they have choose from drop down list in login form, example they choose IT + any 4 of random number.

Please help me, i do not have any idea for this calculation and i am still new in this asp.net.

If they have already provided that information, you can then concatenate the information in a single string object and use it as a name.
// PENN, deptName, randomNumbers are variables for those values
var name = PENN + deptName + randomNumbers;

// use name as needed.
If you want random numbers generated on the runtime, then you can use the Random object of .NET framework to generate a number in between 1000-9999. Something like this,
var random = new Random();

// Min = 1000, max = 9999
var randomNumber = random.Next(1000, 9999);
This way you will get 4 digit random number that you can use for your name variable.
