That generates the day number month and so on. But i want to generate a string with "VB Code Snippet" then after that just any 5 letters or numbers so it might generate "VB Code Snippet 7ef82"
is there a code for generating random letters and numbers?? like between 0 to 9 and A to F??

View 3 RepliesSo I'm building an application that is going to do a ton of code generation with both C# and VB output (depending on project settings). I've got a CodeTemplateEngine, with two derived classes VBTemplateEngine and CSharpTemplateEngine. This question regards creating the property signatures based on columns in a database table. Using the IDataReader's GetSchemaTable method I gather the CLR type of the column, such as "System.Int32", and whether it IsNullable. However, I'd like to keep the code simple, and instead of having a property that looks like:

So, today I was programming, and then right clicked and noticed a 'Insert Snippet' option. I've seen it before, but never clicked it. I thought this was an amazing thing. It had predefined code which auto inserts. Was just letting some of our other members know, that it does include some predefined things such as 'Write to a text file', etc.
View 4 RepliesVS2010 (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.

View 8 Repliesi have a few questions about generating random numbers:1) is it possible for the programme to generate a random number that it has previously generated (i.e could it produce the same number more than once?)2) can you specify what numbers to generate? e.g only whole numbers up to 1000?
View 4 RepliesI have to generate a series of random numbers, say 100, within range of -1 and 1 and scale them by a value, say square root of 2. After which I take those 100 values and their sum = 0. Then scale that sum by another value. Check the code below to see what I mean.

I have an assignment that requires me to create 5 different arrays: nouns, adjectives, verbs, prepositions, and articles. From those 5 different arrays, it has to display 10 different random sentences in the listbox named lstRandomSentences. The sentences have to be in the following order:
<article> space <adjective> space <noun> space <verb> space <preposition> space <article> space <adjective> space <noun>. Each of those arrays have to be randomly chosen in the list box and that's what I am having trouble outputting randomly.
I am trying to make a number be generated as this Windows Form loads, then the user guesses by entering a number and clicking a button to check whether it is correct or incorrect.
I have the code complete, I'm just confused on how to declare the random variable outside the button sub procedure so it only generates one time.
Here is my code.[code...]
I'm using VB.NET 2008 Express Edition and I'm trying to create a simple program that will roll a number of dice I choose. It does this by generating a random number within a specified range (I'm rolling 3-sided dice in this case so I'm generating numbers between 1 and 3) and adding each number to a textbox to create a total of all the dice rolled so far.
This is my
Private Sub butRoll_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles butRoll.Click
Dim RandNum, i As Integer
Dim RandomClass As New Random()
'if at least one dice is rolled
If txtD3.Text > 0 Then
[Code] ......
Now the problem I am having is that although my random number generator is generating the right numbers (confirmed by checking the txtLastRoll textbox), when I add it to txtTotal, it seems to be getting another number from somewhere and adding that to my random number then adding it to the total and I have no idea how this is possible! txtTotal always starts as 0 but txt1 is not showing that. Normally I would just set txtTotal to 0 there but if I do that, I won't be able to add the numbers together. I've tried finding a pattern in the mystery numbers appearing in txtTotal but they just seem to be random.
I am working on an application, where I have already normalized the databases. Now I am creating an application in asp.net with vb.net as my code behind fine. These random numbers would be stored in the Id column. So, no way there would be repeating the keys. But my application could generate the key, which would probably get repeated. How would I check the database for, so that random numbers wont get repeated? is there any function? Could you give me the code for the same.

how to generate code from user input. In Visual Studio 2008, Visual BasicI am new to this so I will try to explain the best I can.[code]I would also like to have these available on the UI but wont generate unless a user checks a box to add them or there is a box already for them but wont step into the code unless the user enters something into the box.Is there anyone that can explain how I would go about doing this. Or maybe some kind of visual studio plugin that will help me out. Or reference?I don't need anyone to do this for me I just need an explanation of how to do this or some kind of reference. Would this be a text template?
View 2 RepliesHow to generate code from user input. In Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic. My script always begins with:
Code:
function Init(Quest)
Then from here a user would input a quest name, type and zone in a interface using windows forms.
Ex:
Code:
RegisterQuest(Quest, "Kill Zombies", "Heritage", "Firestorm")
end
This part a user would enter in his interface what would an NPC say if accepted.
[Code] .....
What I need is a few text boxs that a user can input "Kill Zombies" or whatever they like and when they push a generate button it will create a file with a .quest extension. All of the code remains the same except for the quotes that would be the user input from the interface. Basically everything in quotes can be changed by the user in an interface. I have created my own functions for when a user accepts, deny and complete a quest. The user just needs to input what should happen then click a generate button to throw it all together as a .quest file to be saved in his or her quest folder for the server to call on later.
I also have many other functions like:
AddQuestRewardFaction --- (Quest, Faction ID, Amount)
AddQuestRewardCoin --- (Quest, Copper, Silver, Gold, Plat)
AddQuestStepObtainItem --- (Quest, Step ID, Description, Quantity, Percentage, TaskGroupText, Item ID(s))
Etc
I would also like to have these available on the UI but wont generate unless a user checks a box to add them or there is a box already for them but wont step into the code unless the user enters something into the box.

As I read [URL] For VB: Inside the Snippet element, add the References element and all of the required child elements that add a reference to the project when the snippet is inserted.For C# Visual C# code snippets to do not support the References section, so a reference to System.Windows.Forms.dll must be added to the project manually What fundamental reason prevents C# to support References like VB ?[URL] But it isn't even as full-featured as Code Snippet References as Code Snippet References will allow you to add multiple references at once not just one by one.C# is supposedly more "professional" than VB.NET, one would expect C# to be more featured not more limited or does "professional" means you have to do it the hard way as said "MANUALLY"?
