I have to generate a series of random numbers, say 100, within range of -1 and 1 and scale them by a value, say square root of 2. After which I take those 100 values and their sum = 0. Then scale that sum by another value. Check the code below to see what I mean.

I have a List<Object> where Object contains Name, Month, Type, Value.
is it possible to sum all the Value based on type, and then based on month?
I am using .NET 3.0 in VB.NET I was doing withe like 4 For loops, but its taking a while to run.
For clarification, I have something like this:
Name | Month | Type | Value
-----------------------------
hello | Jan | A | 1
hello | Jan | A | 2
hello | Jan | B | 2

VS2010 (SP1) / .NET 4 on Windows XP. The question is simple, the answer; not so much. When generating a salt, should the LENGTH of the salt be random, fixed or a random number within a (min/max) range? I am using RNGCryptoServiceProvider to generate the salt, just unsure of the length of the salt.

View 4 RepliesI have an assignment that requires me to create 5 different arrays: nouns, adjectives, verbs, prepositions, and articles. From those 5 different arrays, it has to display 10 different random sentences in the listbox named lstRandomSentences. The sentences have to be in the following order:
<article> space <adjective> space <noun> space <verb> space <preposition> space <article> space <adjective> space <noun>. Each of those arrays have to be randomly chosen in the list box and that's what I am having trouble outputting randomly.
I am trying to make a number be generated as this Windows Form loads, then the user guesses by entering a number and clicking a button to check whether it is correct or incorrect.

Here is my code.[code...]
I'm using VB.NET 2008 Express Edition and I'm trying to create a simple program that will roll a number of dice I choose. It does this by generating a random number within a specified range (I'm rolling 3-sided dice in this case so I'm generating numbers between 1 and 3) and adding each number to a textbox to create a total of all the dice rolled so far.
This is my
Private Sub butRoll_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles butRoll.Click
Dim RandNum, i As Integer
Dim RandomClass As New Random()
'if at least one dice is rolled
If txtD3.Text > 0 Then
[Code] ......
Now the problem I am having is that although my random number generator is generating the right numbers (confirmed by checking the txtLastRoll textbox), when I add it to txtTotal, it seems to be getting another number from somewhere and adding that to my random number then adding it to the total and I have no idea how this is possible! txtTotal always starts as 0 but txt1 is not showing that. Normally I would just set txtTotal to 0 there but if I do that, I won't be able to add the numbers together. I've tried finding a pattern in the mystery numbers appearing in txtTotal but they just seem to be random.
I am working on an application, where I have already normalized the databases. Now I am creating an application in asp.net with vb.net as my code behind fine. These random numbers would be stored in the Id column. So, no way there would be repeating the keys. But my application could generate the key, which would probably get repeated. How would I check the database for, so that random numbers wont get repeated? is there any function? Could you give me the code for the same.

I have a scenario where I am trying to generate every combination of value from a jagged array - for example..[code]So all in first array associated with all in second array.I have created my jagged array with the values but I can't work out how to iterate through it and create all variations - I can iterate, but only get each value once at present.Also on a related note this could do with working in the case of more than 2 arrays - i.e. a multiple number of arrays within the jagged array.

View 4 RepliesI have this program generating a firstname and lastname from a file. When I run this program I enter information in three textboxes. The first two are the salary low and high(salary1.text, salary2.text) and the last one is the number of "copies"(copies.text) that I want.. When I put a number such as 10 in the text box it outputs some of the same names. The firstname file has around 100 records and the lastname file has about 1000 records Why is it generating the same name The problem is even worse if I do something like 1000 copies.. it outputs the same thing 8 times and then does something different another 8 times

I heard that you have to add some code to a random number generator
results(1) = Int((5 - 1 + 1) * Rnd() + 1)
so that if it is used again and again it keeps generating new numbers as apposed to what this piece of code does by itself which is creates the same number every time.what is the code?
In a test project, I am attempting to fill 10 different text boxes, named tb1, tb2....etc with the following code with a value between $00.00 and $99.00.

What am I overlooking that prevents this from generating a new value for each text box?[code]...
