Random Row Choice From Sql Database In Vb
Jan 6, 2012I have created a small sql database using new data source. i have placed buttons to move to next,previous,first and last row but i am wondering if there is a way of making a button which would randomly pick a row with information from database or just make it randomize them before they are appearing on the screen.
At first i have tried creating random number generator and then joining it with the coulmns in the database. I failed in the end even though i thought it was going to work. Then i thought maybe i have to change the query as in, instead of "Select that and that and that from database" i thought i have to write "Select that and that from database sort by rand", i also saw that some people write limit 1 or more afterwards but i have no clue what it is and didnt use it. Anyhow i tried that query and it didnt work.
EDIT: I also thought about adding all questions into array, or use some sort of indexing, but i have to use database as the requirement.
Also if anyone would be willing to give me an advise of what is best book i could buy, which would cover databases in sql and some beginner/intermediate programming in visual basic.

How Will Change The Label's Text To The Random String Of The Text File On Startup Of The Application
Apr 23, 2011I have a label that reads a random line from a text file and that string becomes the text for the label.
Now the problem; the label will only work if it is clicked because the event handler is click.What I need is this to work automatically at startup. In other words, it should change the label's text to the random string of the text file on startup of the application.
Here is my code.[code..]
VS 2008 "Pacman" Ghosts Random Direction Choice?
Nov 20, 2009I've got a small pacman-like game where ghosts are running around a maze. At the moment, their movement is completely random. Each step, they determine which directions they can possibly move in (taking into account walls), and then they choose, randomly, one of those directions.Now, this works, but it's not very good. If a ghost is in a long corridor where he can only move up or down (or left/right), then he will usually not go anywhere, but just move up, down, up, down, down, up, up, down, up, etc. So, while it does move every step, in the long run it doesn't go anywhere.

May 28, 2009I currently have my cute little first program made... I'm just stepping into the water with this programming thing. I made a program where you can select a shape from a drop-down list and then input some values and click a button and get the area of the shape. I have it working so that when a certain shape is chosen, certain fields are disabled, such as when you pick "circle" from the combo box, the "length", "width", and "number of sides" text boxes are disabled but the "radius" text box is enabled, thus allowing you to enter the radius and find the area. I want to make it so that when you first load the program, all of the text boxes for the length, width, number of sides and radius are disabled until you select a shape from the list. Currently I'm using

This works for disabling the correct boxes when something is selected, but I don't know if I'm even on the right path with that first part.
