I have this code to pick a random number Between X and Y
X = Minimum Number
Y = Maximum Number
But the problem is i wanted to know if there is a better random function than the one i have.
Because right now i put
Min = 1
Max= 2
and it keeps picking 1
if i had min =1 and max =2 i want it to pick 1 sometimes and 2 sometimes
and now i tried min = 1 max = 3 and it never picks 3, it only picks 1 and 2
ok
Public Class Form1
Public Function RandomNumber(ByVal MinNumber As Integer, ByVal MaxNumber As Integer) As Integer

The number of items and their occurences will vary with each query. would simply like to count the occurences of each specific ID in the list. How do I do that??

I am looking to remove an element from an ArrayList using a query, E.g. DELETE FROM arraylist WHERE (0) = "User1" (Where (0) is the index of the second dimension).
Code:
Dim Users As New ArrayList
Users.Add({"User0", "Details"})
Users.Add({"User1", "Details"})
Users.Remove("User1")
The reason I am looking for a query way to do this is because I will not know what the second dimension value will be.
I have a list of names in a database and what i want is to get all of these names and display them in a label or a text box to the user on the website. I have tried to do this using a for loop but it is always overwriting the label each time. I have a list of 10 different names in the database and what it is doing is putting the first name in the label and then overwriting this with the second name and so on until it reaches the last name. I think i need to store each of the names from the database into an array or an arrayList and then make the label display all of the contents from the array or arrayList. The for loop i have used for this is:
Dim g As SQLadmin = New SQLadmin()
g.DB("SELECT nameOfPerson FROM Persons")
For i As Integer = 0 To g.array.GetLength(0) - 1
[code]....
i can select the names from the database and store them in an array then make the label display each of the names.

You can see i almost got the code, but i dont know how to rename!
What I am doing is iterating through all the groups that belong to the top group (Generic reports). Then I take advantage of the GroupPrincipal.GetMembers(True) which will recurse through a given group name. I test to see if the user exits under that group and if true I put the group name in an arraylist.
I use the for each principal in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers to loop through each returned user to see if they exist.
Is there a way to put all the returned users Principal.Name from a given group in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers into an ArrayList? This would allow me to to use Arraylist1.IndexOf to search for user. Which would be much faster then iterating through a returned list using the for each construct.
