The Textbox.Text will be a new Item in ListBox when Button1.Click I want button2.click to pick a random item from the listbox and display it as the label. Think of it as a random raffle picker lol.
The 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

i need a simple way to get a random number from 2 numbers. This means that for example if my 2 numbers are 3 and 7, i don't need a random number between 3 and 7 that would be like 3,4,5,6,7 but only a random that is either 3 or 7. Meaning not all the numbers between x and y, but either x or y.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to make a number be randomly picked but only picked once when a button is clicked. I've got the simple random number code down already but I can't seem to figure out how to have it picked only once.This is basic random code that I'm using right now.
Randomize()
Dim value As Integer = CInt(Int((14 * Rnd()) + 1))
It picks out a number from 1 to 14 and returns it as an integer in "value", and I'm using to set that to open a specific form but I don't want that specific form to open more than once in a session. So if the number three was already picked out then it could never be returned ever again.
We recently upgraded VS 2005 to VS2010 and converted an application seemingly without any problems. But when deployed to the customer they are getting intermittent errors at seemingly random places in the program which force the application to close and AccessViolationExceptions being logged to the Application Event Log.
The customer's site is a multi user environment with the application hosted on a server and users running the app via RDP. We get two errors in the event log:

I am wondering how i would go about taking multiple items (randomly) from a listbox and displaying them in a label!Now this listbox wouldn't have to be visible, maybe i can do it without it even being a listbox?I want to have 25 labels and each one recalls a random value from the list (doesnt matter about being unique and the list will contain about 20-30 items)Im just a bit stumped on how to do it as ive done some looking into it but most people are asking for randomized numbers or unique items where as i need randomized items from a list which aren't unique!
View 2 RepliesI have a list box on the form which functions as a copy/paste. When you copy something, it is automatically added to the list box as a "clipboard helper". Here is the problem,however: if the text is more than 1 line, the list box does not show all the text.It ends up looking messy.So getting back to my question, is it possible to make the list box item height for an item depending on the amount of lines that item contains?This is a one line sentence in the list box and should take up one line.This is a multi line sentence in the list box and should take up two lines for item height.
View 11 RepliesThe application reads information similar to a DXF file. For purposes of discussion, the data consists of lines, those lines have endpoints, x1,y1,x2,y2. Within the file those lines create "paths", in other words, they are connected. There can be many separate paths within a single file. However in the original file, the geometry is not in any particular order, the paths are not indicated.

View 2 Replieshow to go about picking the random weapons. When you generate a random class, the user must first enter their current rank (level). This is because you are unable to use certain guns until you reach a specified level. This keeps the program from giving out guns the user can't use. What I am doing is allowing the user to give certain parameters as to what type of gun they want to use (or don't want to use). For example, I have checkboxes for the user to pick if they want assault rifles, SMGs, LMGs, Snipers, Shotguns, RPG, etc.
I did this in another version of this program I made, but the only option was to pick whether or not you wanted RPGs included. So, it was easy enough to check if the weapon was an RPG and if it was simply generate another random weapon. I could do this, but with the number of options there are, I don't think this would be the best solution.

For a school project I need to create an application one element of that it puts 14 names into a random order, I figured the best way to do this was with an array and a for/next loop (it cannot repeat the names) each name would be declared as a string with the name of the variable being a number between 1,14. Then there would be a text box relating to each index of the array, I am sure you get what I mean. However, my for/next loop seems to be getting stuck and causing the application to halt and I cannot seem to work out why.
Here is my code.
Public Class Form1
Dim iNumber As Integer
Dim arrNumber(0 To 13) As Integer
Public Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I have yet to write in the section which converts the random numbers into the names, as I discovered this error whilst debugging the for/next loop.
What I want is when the program Loads, it would display random images from a folder on a website to a picturebox, like: [URL]thats a random pic but, [URL] is the folder of the image?
