How To Create Random Strings With Parameters
Jan 17, 2012
I would like to make a program that generates a safe passwords for people to use. I want to make the passwords vary in length, include numbers, letters and upper case letters. I've been able to write code that prints out a random string but it includes unrecognized characters for most passwords. How would I write the code to create a random string that has parameters? (in this case upper case lower case letters and numbers).

I don't take programming lessons at school or anything, and I'm starting to (try to) teach myself about random things.Currently I'm making an app that has 3 functions:
-Random Integer (1 to 100)
-Random Answer (Yes or No, similar to a coin flip)
-Random Dice Roll (1 to 6)
How would I go about doing this?At the moment all I know about random numbers etc. is that I will need to do something along the lines of Dim dice As New Random or something like that, but, like I mentioned, I have no idea.I am well aware of the DIC rules that you won't write the code for me/do my "homework(?)" for me, and that's not what I'm asking.

I have this block of code that sets up my sql parameters for a stored proc that does an insert.
Dim sproc As StoredProcedure = New StoredProcedure("UsersInsert2", DataAccessConfiguration)
sproc.AddInput("@ID", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 10, entity.UserId)
sproc.AddInput("@PCode", SqlDbType.SmallInt, entity.PriviledgeCode)
sproc.AddInput("@Pwd", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 10, entity.Password.ToString())
[code]...
I've tested the stored proc in SSMS and it works.The problem is when I try to call it from the application. it fails. the @@rowcount = -1. I've tried returning an error code from the db... no dice. keeps coming back as -1 what is going to get executed looks like this
sproc = {EXEC UsersInsert2 @ID=ruxtest7, @PCode=0, @Pwd=1234, @Lang=E, @Name=ruxpint, @Notice=1, @CreatedBy=ruxpint}
I've re-used this code several times. only difference being I'm using NVarChar and it's vb.net.

I'm working on a program that will randomly select a loadout(weapon, perks, etc), but the user enters their current level to get the loadout. This is important because certain guns unlock at certain levels, so i don't want someone getting something they can't use.
I'm not sure what the best way of approaching this is. All i can think of is either getting a random item, checking if the user's level is high enough then if it's not high enough do it again.

I need to generate a lot of random 2 character strings for my application. it's a VB console application. basically what I have tried for random strings is this:
Private Function GenerateRandomString(ByVal intLenghtOfString As Integer) As String
'Create a new StrinBuilder that would hold the random string.
Dim randomString As New StringBuilder
[Code]....
What is going on? I thought that I used to, a long time ago, be able to just do random.Next.

Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?

I'm converting a user generated list box to an array and then generating a user defined number of random strings and placing it in a textbox.The code I have works fine as it will generate the number of random strings the user wants, except sometimes a line is blank at the top of the list but is counted as a string.

I'm trying to create a number of strings based on one long string that i'm passing.
Basically this is an example of my long string
StrMain = AL123456 - PR123456 - RD123456 - LO123456
So in this case I want to create 4 separate strings.
Str1 = AL123456
Str2 = PR123456
Str3 = RD123456
Str4 = LO123456
But there isn't always that many or there may be more so I need to count how many - there are and with that then create the amount strings needed.

I'm trying to execute CREATE USER with a given username (via sql parameter)
exec sp_executesql N'CREATE USER @LoginName
FOR LOGIN @LoginName;',
N'@LoginName varchar(5)', @LoginName='myuser'
Heres the code thats generating the above:
Dim myCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("CREATE USER @LoginName
FOR LOGIN @LoginName;",
ClassDatabaseConnection.CustomInstance)
[code].....
I get and error:Incorrect syntax near '@LoginName'.I think this is due to the parameters being passed as VarChar causing 'MyUser' rather than MyUser Can I not do this with sql parameters?

If I have a list box or something that has a list of like 4 years (like 2006 through 2009), how do I programmatically make variables of these years with names like pTable2006, pTable2007, etc (as ITable of course). If this isn't possible and I have publicly declared these tables in the declarations (like pTable2006 as ITable, pTable2007 as ITable, etc), how can I programmatically assign these variables based on user choice?
What I'm asking is, if the user wants to choose years 2006 and 2007, how can I write this:
pTable & ListBox.Items.Item(0) = [table path string] & ListBox.Items.Item(0)
(please ignore the syntax of the "listbox", I'm just trying to come up with an example)
Whenever I put something like pTable & "string", I get an error.

I have some really sloppy code that creates an XML file with a random name. The random name (SessionID) is passed into the Sub, but the sub checks IF File.Exists first. If it does exist, it creates a new randoms file name based on System.Random (has to be done this way because it is also a SessionID).

I have not messed with VB much and I have been trying to do something that has me stumped. I wanted to create an array of 10 random numbers. Each of these numbers then is printed onto a label. From here I have two more labels that show the highest and lowest value. I got the first part, 10 random numbers show up but then things get shaky. This is what I have thus far.
