[2008] Make Sure That Each Call To The Function Is Much More Random?
Jan 15, 2009
I have a function called DieRoll. In the function I have the following setup.
Dim objRandom as New Random
Dim intRoll as Integer
intRoll = objRandom.Next(1,7)
Return intRoll
Everything works as expected as far as generating a random number (1 - 6) is concerned, except for one problem. If I have a series of calls to the function one after another, the numbers come up the same. Is there a way to make sure that each call to the function is much more random?
I am trying to convert a DLL function call which has the Callback function routine called within the DLL function call.The DLL function call signature is like this:
I'm supposed to make an app where computer generates a random number using a function and then the user has to guess the number. If they get it right, they see a picture.... If they get it wrong the loop keeps going until ten guesses are up.. I'm running into quite a few problems...
1. I don't know how to tell if the photo will show up if the number is right because right now I have it set to false in the form, so it dosen't show up but in my loop I included the code that SHOULD allow it to show up if both numbers are the same.... Not sure if this is correct...
2. I have a textbox that is supposed to keep track of the number of guesses but the message automatically becomes Game Over and the guesses go up to 11 as soon as I click the Are You Right Button?
3. When I try to debug, my app freezes and I don't know why...
I have a DataGridViewImageColumn with an image in it I would like to make the only area to perform a function of mine when I click it. I can click the row and get it to work but can't seem to only make just the imagecloumn the clickable region.
So as an example I have Private Sub dgrdStatus_CellClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles dgrdStatus.CellClick MessageBox.Show("You chose " & dgrdStatus.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("columnCustomerName").Value)
Works for the whole row, my issue is I only want to be able to click the imagecolumn to do this. Guessing I am missing the right item similar to dgrdStatus_CellClick but can't quite pinpoint the fix.
I am trying to call this private function, but am missing somthing, anybody point me in the right direction Private Function DL_WebPage(ByVal _URL As String) As String This is what I have tried, but with no success: call DL_webpage But this comes up with an error
We know that the DLL function can be called from our mainprogram and return value. I would like to know, when we run DLL function, can we call a sub in our mainprogram (from DLL function) and return a value to DLL fucntion.
I have a bunch of VB.NET programs that have a general purpose logging function to log events, errors, exceptions, etc. It looks like this:
Sub LogMe(Msg as string) LstLog.items.add(now.tostring & " " & Msg) End Sub
I wrote a few VB.NET DLLs that contain classes used my my VB.NET programs. In thoses DLL classes, I would like to also trap some events, errors, exceptions, etc. But I want them to be logged using my main LogMe function. Here is some pseudo-code of what I was looking for:
' Main program code imports MyLib ' Initialize program
[Code]...
I assume I will need to define Delegates to save my LogMe fonction pointer
I'm trying to undersatnd the syntax of calling a funciton and it seem confusing when I'm using a web service in ASP.net. Maybe this question should be in an ASP forum, but it is a VB question. This simple web service allows you to type in your name and it response with an alert box with you name.
My question is, How can you call a function with 2 arguments when the function is only defined for one. I understand that the second argument is actually a method that handling the respons, but how can you interchange function arguments for methods and how do you know that there are methods for
I want to create an ExpressionTree where a Func(of Vector, Vector, Vector, Vector, Double, Double, Vektor) should be called. So I use
Expression.Call(Forces(0).Function.Method, {Vec1, Vec2, Vec3, Vec4, Double1, Double2})(Vec1-4, Double1-2 are declared as ParameterExpression and Forces(0).Function as Func(of Vector, Vector, Vector, Vector, Double, Double, Vector). But I get an AgrumentException, because Forces(0).Function.Method has seven Arguments. (System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Closure as seventh argument at Index 0).
Ok i cant seem to trace why this happens, i have a button which simply opens a folder (from a list of folders shown in a listbox) in windows, using this Dim folder12 As String = ListBox1.SelectedValueCall Shell("explorer.exe " & folder12, vbNormalFocus)The problem is it keeps working then failing, ive managed to trace it down to the size of the folder thats making it fail, it works fine if the selected folders size is sub 300mb, but anything above and it fails ad opens the 'my documents' folder instead.
I am working to make a function that will update the back color of a text box based on multiple variables values. I can write the code to do the calculation, but I am not sure how to make the function realize which text box to update (as I will have about 30 different boxes). Below is the code that I have for each box so far, but I will have quite a few more, and would rather use a function to reduce the amount of code, and also make it cleaner as well.
If sngPreviousPrimaryPropertyTotal >= sngPrimaryPropertyTotalCost Then txtPreviousPrimaryPropertyTotal.BackColor = ColorProgramLightGreen Else txtPreviousPrimaryPropertyTotal.BackColor = ColorProgramLightRed End If [Code] .....
Or is there a way that I can tell the function that it's updating the text box that call the function in the first place? Say if txtBox1 has updated text and calls the function, then the function 'knows' to update txtBox1, but will update txtBox2 when it's called by txtBox2.
What I am trying to achieve is if there is an error in cell 1 of the current row it returns to that cell. The code below tries to achieve that, but I get an error message thus:Operation is not valid because it results in a reentrant call to the SetCurrentCellAddressCore function.

I am trying to make a texas hold em game and it is of the utmost importance that my code generate a random number. But using a random number function that I always end up with a lot of the same numbers over and over again. Any ideas on how to make it "TRULY" random? [code]
I'm trying to make a Form pop up at an random place (given in a textbox). Here is my code so far:
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick Form2.Location = Textbox1.text Form2.Visible = True End Sub
Yes i know it doesn't work. What I really need to know is how to make the txt understandable for the system.drawing.point.
How can I call a function from inside another function and suspend the calling function until the called function is finished? I hope I can get some replies because I don't know how to ask the question and make sense:).
Anyway what I am trying to do in steps:
1. The user clicks button1 which triggers the click event. 2. From the click event I call a function 3. I then pop-up a form, that has instructions for the user to read. 4. After the user has read the form he will click the "Done" button and return to the calling function.
The problem is the the calling function continues to execute. I want to stop execution of the calling function until the users clicks the "Done" button on the instruction pop=up. I know I can use a msgbox but the instructions can be lengthly and does not look good in a msgbox.
I have tried the Call method with return in the "Done" button click but I can make that work. I also tried a goto statement but I can get that to work either. In the call statement I said call frmInstruction.show() and it got there but as I said the calling function continued to execute.
ive two custom controls, which are used to draw and edit etc...(like paint but customized....) i want to save their images with a single click....So im using the Getimageofcontrol function to do it....its code is below:::
Public Function GetImageOfControl(ByVal c As Control) As Image Dim rc As New Rectangle(c.PointToScreen(c.Location), c.Size) Dim i As Image = New Bitmap(rc.Width, rc.Height)[code].....
and the code to call this function for saving the images is simply.. ...
I have a function where I am performing a lot number of database operations inside a Sub. The operation when called directly like:ExecProcess()
takes about 11 seconds to run.However, if I create a Delegate, and call the sub using BeginInvoke(), the very same process takes over 40 seconds to execute.Here's the threaded code:
Protected del As ProcessDelegate Protected Delegate Sub ProcessDelegate() del = New ProcessDelegate(AddressOf SELocal.ExecJob) Dim cb As New AsyncCallback(AddressOf Me.ExecJobComplete) del.BeginInvoke(cb, del)
Anyone know what may cause a function to take longer inside a new thread, rather than calling directly?
I have road runner (time warner) as my telephone service. I'm pretty sure you can't just go making free calls through the internet via custom software or every half-intelligent programmer would be making free phone calls.I would like to know if there is a way to make an outgoing call (on the same telephone line that your handset uses) and have a vocal conversation with someone on the computers microphone/(headphones/speakers) devices.
Some programs implement command parameters, Like my favourite computer game - Crysis - has them and windows media player has them.But how could i implement them in VB.NET..I want to have a component of my program built as a seperate exe - so it can be an Optional component.But of course the seperate exe, on load, needs data passing to it.So i need something like Process.start("Componentname.exe", "/StartDL <Suchandsuchastring>)/StartDL will need to call a function, and the string that it uses will be given to the function to initiate a download?
I am attempting to inherit an ASP.NET RegularExpressionValidator and add some functionality to it. I inherited the control and added my custom properties. However, I would also like the client-side functionality to call a different JavaScript function.
In order to do that, I will need to supress what is happening in the AddAttributesToRender method because the name of the function is hard-coded there. Here is what comes up in Reflector for the AddAttributesToRender function in RegularExpressionValidator:

Note: I tried to add the expando property before the parent class does to see if the code would check for its existence and skip it, but that just causes an exception.

My application reuses the same data returned from the database throughout the application. For example, a list of airport codes retrieved from the dataabase could be used on 5 different forms. In VB6 I placed the information into a Public Array. I'm looking for the best way to load and make available without hitting the database 5 times. After researching I found arraylist might be the way to go. My problem...I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly and not sure how to make the call to get the data out of the list.
I arrive from years with Oracle plsql. Now I'm trying vb.net I created a function that return a char value, so written:
