Using Randomly Generated Numbers From List Only Once
Mar 16, 2011
Below is a form which produces a graph, the idea is to produce 6 random numbers from a range (0,6) place the numbers in an array then use these numbers to produce columns on the graph, however at the moment it is using the numbers more than once, how can I get it to just use the values once only in the array.
Private Sub btnGraph_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGraph.Click
txtAns.Text = ""
g.Clear(Me.BackColor)
g.DrawLine(Pens.Black, 50, 70, 50, 420)

In a project I'm working on, I've assigned each user a unique ID with the following code. [code] However, I want to replace the number at the end (RecordCount) with a randomly generated sequence of 4 numbers (no 2 can be the same).

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.

Beginning VB 2010, had a project that requires us to create a list box of 25 randomly generated 0s or 1s. Problem is when I put the loop in, it only repeats the same random number, not different one each loop. What am I doing wrong?This is the code I have so far...Code in Question:
'Declare new random object
Dim RandomGenerator As New Random
intRandomNumber = RandomGenerator.Next(0, 2)[code]......

I have just about completed a .NET project to write a program to randomly select numbers for a Bingo caller. Over the last month or so Ive learned a lot about .NET but heres something that I consider to be odd and maybe one of you guys can offer an opinion.
One of the features of calling Bingo in a small local club is that callers often use little sayings to accompany certain numbers, I expect youve all heard of (say) All the sixes, clickety click for 66 or 5 and 9 the Brighton line for 59 etc. My little program gives an option to incorporate these with a prompt for the caller that can be edited outside of the program. One of these conventional sayings is used when a number is reversed 12 followed by 21 or 45 followed by 54 for example, when the caller might call (say) 1 and 2, one dozen, number 12 And the other way round 2 and 1, twenty one.
So, I programmed in a bit of code to detect this and to over-ride whatever might otherwise have been the quote with And the other way round and set about testing it. Ive been through literally dozens of full 90 calls watching for the occurrence of a reversed number, spent a few hours doing it, and not once has it occurred which is to say the least, unusual.
So, Im wondering about the Rand Function, could it be that it isnt possible for a reversed number to be selected? Just so you know, I randomly pre-select the order of all 90 numbers, I fill each of the 90 elements of an array with a random number first checking that the number selected hasnt already been stored, if it has, I just get the next random number (and check that too of course), but I cant see how that could prevent reversed numbers being selected, especially in light of the fact that frequently it's not the 'next' number that's used.

I have two images on my VB pictureBox one of it is randomly generated on the picBox(to any location) and the other is a normal image that can move around the picBox area using left right up and down buttons. The problem is that when ever the normal picture gets to the random one, it goes under the random picture and the task is to restrict the normal picture from going into the walls of the random one. when it gets to the wall, top, bottom left and right, it should stop moving.

I am setting up a game for my final visual basic program in my computer programming class, and it is supposed to compare what you type into a textbox to a randomly generated password, and then return whether the last character you entered had a higher, lower or the exact same ascii value as the corresponding character in the randomly generated password. Well, in order to test it, I set up labels to compare the two characters... when you type in ALT + 125, the ascii value returns 125, as it should, and it says that the ascii value of the correct character is 142. I typed in ALT + 142, and the character's ascii value, according to what the label puts out, is 196... obviously its converting dec into hex or oct or something... but how do I fix it?I can also tell you that when I typed in 196 to see if it was reversed or something stupid like that, it printed that the ascii value was 49... what's up with that?!

Basically I am trying to get my timer to stop when it reaches a randomly generated number.
I have dimmed num2 as integer (num2 is timer)
I have dimmed num3 as integer (num 3 is random number)
I have done num3 = randNum.Next (0, 8)
My timer is working perfectly and counts from 0 -8. My randomly generated number works too, so how do i get the timer to stop when it reaches the random num?
I have tried;
if num2 = num3 then
timer1.enabled = false
But that didn't work

I am making an application that randomly generates numbers. I then have to find out if those numbers are even or odd. Then place them in the corresponding array ( EvenNumbers() or OddNumbers() ). Then display the random numbers array then the even and odd numbers array. I am up to the point where I have the generated numbers and can tell if they are even or odd, but can't get them into an array. I am trying to do it like this....

Basically, I'm not sure if I'm thinking along the correct lines when trying to break this down. The program is supposed to display the question "How much is _ x _?" with _ being a randomly generated number between 0-9 which I have in a label. The student inputs the answer and clicks the "Answer" button. If he gets it right, the label below outputs "Very Good!" and automatically puts a new question in the above label. If the student gets it incorrect, the output is "No, Please try again." and the student keeps trying until the question is answered correctly.
My method of thinking on this is that the random.object generator is input first so the question with the numbers are output in the first label. Then, under the Sub answer.button, enter the statements that will either check and refer to the above statements to get a new question or have the student try again until it's answered correctly. One of the other criteria for this is that I have to use a function for the calculation. Would the function statement, because it has to return a value, go before the answer.button code or after?

How long it would take to generate all of the numbers between 1 and X randomly.
X=1,000,000 took 6 seconds, and for 10,000,000 took over a minute.
Does that sound reasonable?
Experiment
stopwatch start
count = 0
do while count < x
select a random number between 1 and X inclusive
have i selected this number before?
no-add 1 to count
yes -
loop
stopwatch stop
display elapsed time
I made the Do Loop UI un-friendly and ran this from the IDE using CTRL-F5. My PC is 1.8Ghz and has 2GB of memory. I am using VB 2008, .Net 3.5 SP1.

What's the fastest way to randomly generate numbers, either randomly or simulating random? I don't really need a true random number generator, it would be acceptable to simulate random. I tried other random simulation methods but none were faster than this. Here's the fastest way I have now:

What I'm doing is trying to generate a number 1 through 4 which was easy enough but next what i want to do is assign four variables with the four generated numbers which i do. My next problem is making sure each different variable gets a different number which is a nightmare for me. I tried doing a For loop to see if it would keep generating until it was a completely different number though it would be a 25% chance to get that possibility (actually less because the other three numbers can be the same at this point) i give it 1,000,000 and still 1/4 of the time the first number is the same as one of the other three.

I have a code that generates random code using a set of letters. One for a random pin and another for a random code. I can loop the generation of my codes depending on the input. When I try to generate 1 to 3 set of codes it works fine. but if it's 4 and above. I always get a duplicate set of random numbers. I don't what wrong. My code for generating my codes are in vb.net and be passed to a stored procedure for inventory.

Right so my generator is working, but I now want to take the numbers that it generates and add them to a list of generated numbers. So you can monitor what numbers have been generated. then ideally a way to exclude these numbers from being generated again.

I'm relearning VB.net just for fun, so consider me new at this. I'm trying to write a program where the user can input a list of names or numbers, and the program will randomly pick one of those names or numbers. So far, I can get it to randomly generate numbers based on what I put in the code, but I don't know what I should use for the user to input the data, and how to code it so that the program will pick from that data.

I am trying to change the background randomly from a selected list after a certain amount of time. I have the array set-up and I have it picking a random path (ex c:images est.jpg). I found in the registry the background image settings. I tried setting the registry key to the path but it seems like there is more to it than that because it doesn't change it. I also saw where it stored the file and tried changing it but again it doesn't change it. The funny thing is if I go to display properties afterwards it shows the correct image just doesnt set it. If I then click a different image and go back to it then it sets it. How can I make it update the background?

I'm returning a list of database records;
Dim rsPublicChilds As System.Data.Linq.ISingleResult(Of spGetPublicObjectsResult) = Nothing
rsPublicChilds = dc.spGetPublicObject(slintLoginID, lintLanguageID, lintObjectID, lintObjectTypeID, lstrSEOURL, lstrValid)
I get an enumerable list of rsPublicChildObjects that I then convert to an array;
Dim larr_PublicChild As IEnumerable(Of spGetPublicObjectsResult) = rsPublicChilds.toArray()
That then gives me easy access to an array of the objects, so I can then do;
larr_publicchild(0).colMyValue
etc.etc
I'd like to get the minimum value of colMyValue (or any other property of the object that's been created for me) but I can't quite see how to get there.

I currently have a list of words in a text file sorted in to alphabetical order and put into lower case, but I would like to be able to also display the line numbers on which these words are associated with.. but only one instance of.
For example,
"This is a random text
file that I
have just made
up this second"

As you can see above, I would like to show that "this" for example appears on line 1 and 4. Hopefully tabbed so that it keeps a nice look to it.

I'm quite new to Visual Basic - using Visual Studio 2008 and can't seem to find a way to do the following:
I have a few tables in a SQL Server database and have used LINQ to SQL to create classes of those tables.
Here's a cut down example of what I'd like:listbox1 filled with table names - APS, SMPS, WCPC, CFLAPS
Then from the SelectedIndexChanged event, listbox2 should populate column headers of the selected table.
I have no issues getting data from the database, and can access all of these headers through the anonymous type objects created from a LINQ query (eg APS.ID, APS.count etc), but populating a listbox with these variable names rather than the data inside them seems rather elusive.
This is probably a cross platform coding question rather than VB specific, so if you have a solution in C# or whatever I'd be happy if you could let me know.

I am trying to create an application that will randomly select 14 "stations" (strings) from a list of 33. My thinking is that I have a for/next loop that randomly selects a number between 1,33 which is then inputted into an array (arrnumber) I then want those random numbers to then be used to call the Station name which is saved in the second array, and then for the selected stations to be populated into a listbox (potentially by storing those names selected in a new array?)
Various people have suggested either using a list (of t) instead of arrays, or a Dictionary(?) or perhaps even a database, though I am not all that confident with VB to be able to know where the best place to start with that is. So if anyone can offer any advice, pointers as to how I can link my 2 arrays (I am pretty sure I know how to make the array populate a listbox) I would be very much obliged.

Dim Stationid() As String = {"Cardiovascular Examination", "Respiratory Examination", "Abdominal Examination", "Abdominal Examination with Stoma", "Groin and External Genitalia Examination", "Cranial Nerves Examination", "Arm Examination", "Leg Examination", "Parkinson`s Examination", "Cerebellar Examination", "Speech Examination", "Hand Examination", "Elbow Examination", "Shoulder

I would like to be able to add every combination of a list of numbers to determine which combinations equal a specific result.
Simple Example:
List: 2, 4, 6
Result: 10
How many and which combinations of numbers result in the number 10? The correct anwser is only one which is 4 + 6 = 10. The example is simple but the actual list may contain as many as 10 - 15 decimal numbers.
I have thought of the following as a possible way of checking each combination by using binary:
- There are 3 total number so the possible combinations would be:
123 - Three numbers
000 - Add no numbers
001 - Add the last number
[Code].....
However, I don't know how to actually match up the bitwise bits to the numbers in the array to actually add. Example:
101 - I should check if 2 + 6 != 10 per the example above so this wouldn't satisfy the result... does this make sense? The answer would be 4 + 6 = 10.
how to check and add all combinations from a list of numbers to determine if the result is a specific number?
