Well what i wanted to do is make a Process have another name at Runtime.
I did this but it says always its ReadOnly
Dim myprocess As Process = Process.GetCurrentProcess
myprocess.ProcessName = rnd.Next(0, 50000)
I am noticing that sometimes when I read ProcessName the Process has already finished. Sometimes it hasn't finished yet and reading the ProcessName works. I would like to find out how I can consistently read the ProcessName from a process no matter if it takes a long time or a short time to run. Is there some event I should be in? or some trick? When I read it at the wrong time I get:
System.InvalidOperationException: Process has exited, so the requested information is not available.
at System.Diagnostics.Process.EnsureState(State state)
at System.Diagnostics.Process.get_ProcessName()

I've read numerous posts and threads about random number generation, but I havent' run across this.If I generate a bunch of random numbers, the results are radically different if I create a new Random generator for each number than if I use on Random generator for all the numbers. The results are much more consistent and evenly distributed if I use the same Random generator.I would have thought the opposite,because creating a new Random generator each time should reduce the number of random repetitions, if a different time slice is used to create the random number.[code]......
View 9 RepliesThe class Random is out right defective. It always produces the same random numbers in the same sequence. Things I have tried so far is every kind of seed you can think of as well as Randomize. The result is that I always get the same random numbers in exactly the same sequence.
View 4 RepliesI am practicing using the drawing commands, and have gotten a grass background and black happy face that moves around the background.It's a 10x10 grid of 50 pixels.I want (at the moment, when i press enter) it to generate a random number of trees (15 ~ 25) at random locations on the background. The program doesn't freak out about anything, and the variables seem to be right (using stop commands) but it's not drawing anything. Here is the code for the "GenerateTrees" command I have for when I press enter.
Private Sub GenerateTrees()
NumberOfTrees = Int(Rnd() * 10) + 15
For i = 0 To NumberOfTrees - 1

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.
VS2010 (SP1) / .NET 4 on Windows XP. The question is simple, the answer; not so much. When generating a salt, should the LENGTH of the salt be random, fixed or a random number within a (min/max) range? I am using RNGCryptoServiceProvider to generate the salt, just unsure of the length of the salt.

I'm creating an app to manage the movies I've watched and get some info about these movies and then display these info in labels.At moment I'm trying to load the "runtime" and "genre" into label3 (runtime) and label5 (genre). Once the movie name is clicked in the listbox control, these info are loaded from a website (webbrowser control) and then displayed in the labels. My question is: Is there any way to make the My.Settings save these info for EACH movie? Something like this:
Saving the info:
vb
If ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString > 0 Then 'LOADING THE INFO CODE... 'SAVING... 'create: My.Settings.(ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString & "1") = Label3.text 'create: My.Settings.(ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString & "2") = Label5.textEnd If

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong; but this has been driving me crazy for a while now.I've made a small Silverlight game (an old Galaxian clone).

I need to use a tab() with 7 entries and verify(with a loop?) if the generated number is or not present in the the table, if not then increment a counter by 1 and add the number in the table and increment the table position by 1 for the next randomized number.
Im not sure how to do the verification, so far all i have is a function i made for the random number between min and max:
Private Function randGen(ByVal min As Integer, ByVal max As Integer)
Dim random As New Random()
Dim i As Integer
