Im creating a program that randoms 5 questions and when a certain question is shown then it must not be shown again when the button is clicked. Lets say when "What is my name?"array is shown when the button is clicked then it must not be shown again until the last question that is not shown will be shown.
Public Class Form1
Dim random As New Random
Dim Question() As String = New String(5) {}

I'm having trouble using the Random class. I have this [code]...
I have this code in a function and everytime I call it it return a random number. The problem is I only want the number to be return/generate once. There be times I call the function and it returns the same number as in the pass. Is there a way to random the number once? I know in C++ you use like "Seed" or something and it will only generate once.
I would like to generate a random number less than 50, but once that number has beengenerated I would like it so that it cannot be generated again.
View 3 RepliesI 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. ow 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

I'm trying to make a mastermind game program with visual basic. I started of creating the combination maker for the start of the game. Hoever, in my version i don't want any colors to repeat. I used the random function independently to get numbers from 1 to 6. Each number has a corresponding color. The problem, the values still repeat sometimes.
Here's my code for that part:
Randomize
a = Fix(Rnd * 6) + 1
txtA = a
If a = 1 Then

So how would I use .next (random numbers) to randomly select something from a list of numbers but it can't repeat the number?I could do:
dim num as integer
dim r as new random
num = r.next(1,5)
if num = 1 then
elseif num = 2 then
etc.
That wouldn't work because it would repeat.If I donwload someone's game can I disect it in VS? :0 I tried going to open project, then I went to the folder and clicked open. It brought me inside of the folder so I tried to open the game but there is no form1 there. It says the games name then .exe in the explorer-like thing in the top right?Also, how would I have a value or something in a label and access it from a button.
Example:This is in a label.
Dim number as Integer
number = 0
Then in the button do
Label.number = 0
How would I do something like that? I want to use that a lot as I did in a different language.
I am writing a numerical model to perform a set of calculations within a unit, pass the output to a new unit and perform the same calculations and so on. To do so, I have created a complicated set of functions. I have various arrays which store function outputs that are used for other functions within the program. I am trying to modify the language of the program so the functions can be repeated for each unit without literally repeating each code sequence with modified variable identities. For example:
for x = 1 to 5
for z = 0 to 2
y(z) = 3x +6

How do I (programmatically) find out the key repeat delay and key repeat rate for a system?
A solution that works on any/all .Net capable platforms would be ideal, but the key target OSes would be XP, Vista, and 7.

I have an array with 280 items in it. I only want 140 of those, so I want to pick them at random. So I need to generate a random number between 0 and the source array's getupperbound property. I think. Is there a more suitable way to pluck an item from an array. I wonder if there's a way to ensure that you don't choose the same item more than once. I suppose I could randomly sort the source array and choose the first 140 items, that would ensure I don't get a repeat item. But could be inefficient if the source array is much larger than the destination array, because I'd be shuffling more values than I need to shuffle. I suppose it's a sampling problem.

How Can I random the numbers in my array but they will not repeat the array value. The array number starts from 11 to 14.
Or how can I random 4 buttons.text that uses array to call their text?
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.

how I pick a random item from a array?Here's the little bit of code I got:
Dim array() As String
Dim words As String
words = "hello*123*abc*zxw"
array = Split(words, "*")
But what should I do next to randomly select a item from "array"?
The first problem I am having is that it populates every cell with the same random number. How do I get it to create a new random number? The second problem is that I need to make sure each entry in the array is unique.

I'm trying to make a Bulls and Cows type game, I was able to do it fairly easily with javaScript, but VB is killing me. I can get the array 5 slots long with random numbers, unfortunately they're all repeats. when I try getting no repeats I run into infinite loops, exponentially increasing array lengths, and just plain old arrays with 5 numbers randomly generated, but with repeats.
I'm trying to do this with loops, in JS I did it using regular expressions
