I made a program to make a random name up from 2 textboxes on my program ( a firstname textbox and a lastname textbox). But the problem is that I'm just getting the names in order they were put in. I was using this code
Dim fname2 As String = fname.Lines(F)

View 2 RepliesHow do i set a label text to display any of the declared string list randomly.
CODE:
I have two List(Of String).Both Lists contain duplicate strings. I want to pick out all the strings which are contained in both the Lists. For example:
List1 ={"10X100","10X100","10X100","50X100","50X100","100X100"}
List2 ={"10X100","10X100","20X100","50X100","50X100","100X100","200X100"}
So, the result should be: List3={"10X100","10X100","50X100","50X100","100X100"}.How to do this?
I'm relearning VB.net just for fun, so consider me new at this. I'm trying to write a program where the user can input a list of names or numbers, and the program will randomly pick one of those names or numbers. So far, I can get it to randomly generate numbers based on what I put in the code, but I don't know what I should use for the user to input the data, and how to code it so that the program will pick from that data.

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
I am currently working on a family project which is based on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" show. There is a huge diffrence between the show and my project. My project is a christmas edition and the goal is not to get money or something, since I will not add it... Erhmm... Let me get to the point. I have already designed a layout and scripted some things. I have about thirty questions but I do not want them to always spawn in the same array, if you know what I mean. I want the program to randomly choose one of those thirty questions and NEVER choose the same question in the same program run. By the way, there are four options on my project: A, B, C and D. I have got everything, I just need a code.

I can create random letters and numbers but I want a word that would be in a dictionary.

I know it is possible to have more than one audio output device attached to a computer. For example, my home machine has a soundblaster card as well as stereo speakers attached via a USB M-Audio controller. I know that windows and other applications can select which output device to use... I use the sound card for normal Windows sound, but I use my M-Audio output when mixing music in Cubase.The question is, from inside my own program, I need to be able to detect what audio devices are available, show the user the list and let him choose one, and then use that output device for all audio output generated by the program.
It would also help if I could determine which audio output device is being used by Windows.
Oh, almost forgot, I am using Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Audio to play mp3 files.
I have a multi user app that works over a WAN and prints 2 types of documents:
1. Bus Tickets
2. Reports
Generally all users will have 2 printers connected to their PC (A Dot MAtrix printer for the continous paper tickets)and an inkjet or laser jet for reports.
How do I send certain print jobs i.e. Tickets automatically to the dot matrix printer and other print jobs automatically to the other printer?At the moment the dot matrix printer is set as the default printer on all machines, the reporting printer is then selected by the user whenever he/she wishes to print a report.This is not ideal however since most users run other apps on their machines and would prefer the plain paper printer to be set as the default.
I would like to obtain the device names from a database table or file on the user's machine so that the following occurs:
1. When A ticket is to be printed the printer object is automatically set to that of the dot matrix printer without offering an option.
2. When a report is to be printed the user is offered a dialog box(I know how to do this) WITH THE PRINTER NAME OF THE REPORT PRINTER APPEARING AS THE FIRST CHOICE.
1. How do I obtain a list of printers that are available on each computer?
2. How Do I set the printer object depending upon the job that is to be printed?
