How To Generate Random Images From Access Database Using Hashset?
Jun 22, 2010
I am trying to generate random images from access database using hashset as it is said to be unique and there won't be any repeated images appearing. But, it doesn't seem to work.
How can i get it to work? By the way, i am very new to the concept of hashset.
Private Function GetImageFromByteArray(ByVal picData As Byte()) As Image
If picData Is Nothing Then
Return Nothing
End If
' is this is an embedded object?
Dim bmData As Integer = If((picData(0) = 21 AndAlso picData(1) = 28), 78, 0)
' load the picture
Dim img As Image = Nothing
Try
Dim ms As New MemoryStream(picData, bmData, picData.Length - bmData)
img = Image.FromStream(ms)
Catch
End Try
' return what we got
Return img
End Function

oledbconnection.Open()
Dim command As OleDbCommand
command = New OleDbCommand("select count (*) from PicturesDisplayed", oledbconnection)
Dim count As Integer
count = command.ExecuteScalar()
oledbconnection.Close()
Dim randomImage As New HashSet(Of Integer)
' Create a integer and new Random object
Dim intPic As Integer
Dim rand As New Random
'Pick a random number between 0 and the number of images in database
intPic = rand.Next(0, count)
randomImage.Add(intPic)
PictureBox1.Height = 256
PictureBox1.Width = 256
PictureBox2.Height = 256
PictureBox2.Width = 256
Dim pic1x As Integer = _
(Me.ClientSize.Width - PictureBox1.Width) 2
Dim pic1y As Integer = _
(Me.ClientSize.Height - PictureBox1.Height) 2
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(pic1x, pic1y)
Dim pic2x As Integer = _
(Me.ClientSize.Width - PictureBox2.Width) 2
Dim pic2y As Integer = _
(Me.ClientSize.Height - PictureBox2.Height) 2
PictureBox2.Location = New Point(pic2x, pic2y)
' Now set the picturebox image equal to the image chosen from the array randomly using the random
PictureBox1.Image = GetImageFromByteArray(DS.Tables(0).Rows.Item(intPic).Item(0))
PictureBox1.Visible = True
PictureBox2.Image = GetImageFromByteArray(DS.Tables(0).Rows.Item(intPic).Item(2))
PictureBox2.Visible = False
If (randomImage.Count = count) Then
Me.Close()

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 am trying to retrieve jpg files from access database this is the code I used to insert the jpg picture into the database. I am using vb.net 2010 and access 2010

I am using vb to make a hospital system which works with a access database. i am having an issue with the updating function to the database, this time round instead of hard codding the connection i used the connection/data source wizard, in microsoft visual studio 2008 and there fore most of the code has been auto generated for me, which includes the insert, delete and update funtions from what i can find and what i have read vb is ment to also auto generate this which it is not. the funny thing is that i can close the program down and reload it (as long as i haven't opened the database) and my changes are still there but if i go and open the database and it hasn't changed. also i can change the database through the use of the Dataset connections in the datasource tab but not int he program the code ive found and believe that is meant to update the database
This is running off a couple of buttons i also have a update query but have know way of accessing it
In my Microsoft access database I have a table called Picture and 3 fields: ID, Name, Image. I was wondering if it was possible to get all the images from the field 'Image' and display them into SlideShowExtender.
i've download the 101 Visual Basic and C# Code Samples from downloads/details.aspx?familyid=08E3D5F8-033D-420B-A3B1-3074505C03F3&displaylang=en i was going to learn "VB.NET - Data Access - Read and Write Images from a Database" from that 101. the program is written in 2003 the conversion of the problem to 2005 and 2008 failed.
I have this program that is suppose to take the path I provide it and use it to save an image to my access database. But it keeps giving me ""Syntax error in Insert Into Statement." error message.
'm attempting a program and need to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 52. However all the numbers must be different. I'm trying this in a For Loop. I'm not terribly amazing at this so all I have so far is:
Dim B, I, J, max, min, card() As Interger max = 52 min = 1 Randomise()
[Code].....
What am I doing wrong and what is the ultimately simple solution I know the internet can provide for me?
I've published a different take on a log in system on CodeProject [URL] and I've got some free time, so I thought I'd have a look at password recovery/reset.It was suggested on the article that I look into sending the account owner a single use, random url where they can reset their password if the account gets locked because of too many invalid login attempts/forgotten password.So far, I'm thinking I just have to generate a random string in a "recovery" field in the database table for the user's row and then check if the requested URL on the site is the same as the value for that field, then dynamically draw the page server-side.
