namespace RandomNumberGenerator
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Random Number Generator 
    /// Author: Sheeraz AHMED

    /// </summary>
    class Random
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Random ran = new Random();

            Console.WriteLine(ran.Next (1, 7)); 

            Console.Write("\n\nPlease press enter to quit");
            Console.ReadLine();

        }// end main
    }//end random class

it's a naming conflict. Your Class named Random interfers with System.Random.
2 options rename your class. or alias the System namespace.

using System;
namespace RandomNumberGenerator
{
   public calss MyRandom()
   {
      function GetRandomNumber()
      {
         Random rand = new Random();
         rand.Next();
      }
   }
}

or

using S = System;
namespace RandomNumberGenerator
{
   public calss Random()
   {
      S.Random rand = new S.Random();
      rand.Next();
   }
}
