I have been searching to try to find the period of the System.Random class's
Next methods to be certain that it is adequate in a statistical analysis
application I am writing. However, I have not been able to find any
concrete answer to this question. Does anybody have this information?

Get Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector, it's free. Use it to decompile
System.Random.Next() to see its implementation.
