Generating Salt - LENGTH Of Salt Be Random - Fixed Or A Random Number Within A (min/max) Range ?
Nov 26, 2011VS2010 (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.

Mar 14, 2012i have a few questions about generating random numbers:1) is it possible for the programme to generate a random number that it has previously generated (i.e could it produce the same number more than once?)2) can you specify what numbers to generate? e.g only whole numbers up to 1000?

10 Different Random Sentences Generating By Using Arrays?
Jun 29, 2012I 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.
Generating A Random Number Outside Of A Sub Procedure

Generating Random Number Within Specified Range
Apr 7, 2009I'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.
Generating Random Numbers Without Duplication?
Feb 6, 2011I 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.

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
