C sharp coding conventions

Among coding C sharp coding conventions, is it important have a space between parentheses and a function in C#?

like so...

Random.Range (300f, 700f);

or

Random.Range(300f, 700f);

I have noticed that my instructor, Nick Pettit, has been using the first option but others online use C sharp and coding conventions among other programming languages use the second one.

I always use no space for functions and methods, but a put a space between keywords (for, while, switch) and parentheses enclosing parameters they use. I consider this "best practice" coding style.

This happens to the be format used consistently throughout the MSDN C# Documentation pages.
