Random date in C#

by 
private Random gen = new Random();
DateTime RandomDay()
{
    DateTime start = new DateTime(1995, 1, 1);
    int range = (DateTime.Today - start).Days;           
    return start.AddDays(gen.Next(range));
}

For better performance if this will be called repeatedly, create the start and gen (and maybe even range) variables outside of the function.
