I am not so good at VB.NET, well, I am working with a school to run a Spelling Bee aimed at children in year 7. And to make it fair and unbiased i need an application that can choose randomise a word from the list box then transfer the string to the text box. So basically something that can pick a random string from the listbox and show it in the textbox1.text property.

The Textbox.Text will be a new Item in ListBox when Button1.Click I want button2.click to pick a random item from the listbox and display it as the label. Think of it as a random raffle picker lol.
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

So what I'm trying to do is not so much generate a random word but pick one from a collection. I was thinking on generating a random number since that is very easy, then picking a word acording to the number generated. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?

I need to pick a random answer, not including the question. let it be the simplest solution. I am only a beginner.
You pull the value out of the Request object
Request.Querystring()
Then set the ImageUrl property of your image
The string itself contains things like "random" & random.next(1,3) & "random2" etc. The string registers all of this as a string and doesn't actually calculate random numbers.Is there any way to fix this?

i am working on a program that has a randomize button that can already randomize the selection of a listbox. Now i wanted to make it also randomize the selection of a listview, but i can seem to find out how to do this. Ive tried using the same code, but it said that add isnt part of listview.
Heres the code:
Dim Random As New System.Random
Listbox1.BeginUpdate()

I am wondering how i would go about taking multiple items (randomly) from a listbox and displaying them in a label!Now this listbox wouldn't have to be visible, maybe i can do it without it even being a listbox?I want to have 25 labels and each one recalls a random value from the list (doesnt matter about being unique and the list will contain about 20-30 items)Im just a bit stumped on how to do it as ive done some looking into it but most people are asking for randomized numbers or unique items where as i need randomized items from a list which aren't unique!

View 6 Repliesso I am working on a program with items entered into a listbox. Then when the user clicks a button it will randomize the listbox items in just a random order obviously. I have tried adding it to an array and everything but I ended up just having to start over now because I couldn't find a solution. I can save the contents and everything I know how to do that it's just randomizing the items that I am struggling with. I have searched high and low and have yet to find a conclusion to my problem.

I have a listbox which on form load generates correctly from a text file like so in a listbox...ex"John Doe, 1""Bob Brown,2"I now would like to search the listbox if it contains either a "1" or a "2" which is does in this case and copy the item to another listbox. The 1 and 2 indicate positions I have a position listbox for each position. So 3 listbos, first one contains the names on form load, 2 other empty listboxes one for position 1 other for position 2...I have tried the following
If xReservationListBox.SelectedIndex = xReservationListBox.FindString("1") Then
'MessageBox.Show("Found It")
xSpot1ListBox.Items.Add(xReservationListBox.Items(0))
