'm attempting a program and need to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 52. However all the numbers must be different. I'm trying this in a For Loop. I'm not terribly amazing at this so all I have so far is:
Dim B, I, J, max, min, card() As Interger
max = 52
min = 1
Randomise()

What am I doing wrong and what is the ultimately simple solution I know the internet can provide for me?
The program must generate 6 unique random numbers but when I click display numbers sometimes it gives me 6 unique numbers and sometimes I get duplicate numbers. I will add the code I have so far.

I have an attribute that I just added to my database to hold confirmation numbers. The only problem is they are all null so I am getting errors. Thus I need a method to generate random confirmation numbers (no duplicates). The column entries have a max size of varchar(20)
Solution:
randNum = Replace(Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "-", "")
randNum = randNum.Substring(0, 19)

Generating random numbers in an array HELP
View 6 RepliesI need to generate 'real' random numbers from 0 to 500 (e.g. 247.214, 477.125, 1.247, 54.078, 147.001 ......etc). I am using this method:
Dim Myrand As New Random
Dim Res As Double
For i = 1 To 10
Res = Math.Round(Myrand.NextDouble, 3)
Next
This method gives numbers between 0 and 1. if I use: Res = Myrand.Next(0,500), then this gives Integer numbers.
The questions is: Is this possible with (Dim Myrand As New Random) or I have to try another way (e.g. Rnd() ) for doing this?
i will like to generate four numbers at random, that will total 100 and assign each to a textbox.

How can I generate a random string of 8 numbers and letters?
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to make a Bulls and Cows type game, I was able to do it fairly easily with javaScript, but VB is killing me. I can get the array 5 slots long with random numbers, unfortunately they're all repeats. when I try getting no repeats I run into infinite loops, exponentially increasing array lengths, and just plain old arrays with 5 numbers randomly generated, but with repeats.
I'm trying to do this with loops, in JS I did it using regular expressions
Here's an example of my code.
Public Class Form1
Dim intRand(0) As Integer
Dim RandomClass As New Random

What I am trying to do is create a form with a button and a list box. When clicked the button will generate a list of 3 or 5 characters that have alternate letters and numbers...eg.
q2h
a6j
z4p
d9k
[Code].....
To complicate things a little, each combination needs to be different, ie. randomised but still according to the 'letter,number, letter' formula. There are plenty of examples of randomising strings such as passwords but I cannot understand how to achieve the above.

I have created a form that generates random numbers and displays them in the label box. my requirement is to show the numbers in ascending order, so i created a button for each number to be displayed in a each list box. how do i get i to display in the listbox?? Also how do i get it to check and display msg to say whether its in asscending order??

View 10 RepliesTrying to create a form where user enters a lower bound, upper bound, and an amount of random numbers to generate (that are between the lower and upper)
I was able to get it to generate random numbers but only 1 per a click of the calculate button...I would like user to be able to click button and it to generate and display all the numbers on seperate numbers all at once[code]...
I'm so confused. Please help me with this program. My teacher wants Receive a lower bound and an upper bound of a range.Also receive a number of random numbers to generate.Generate this many numbers in the specified range and keep track of how many are even, odd, negative, 0, and positive. Do not save the numbers, just the category counts.
Lower bound must be less than or equal to the upper bound (negative or positive or mix).Number to generate must be greater than or equal to 1.Use the GetInput Boolean function (written in class) to retrieve the numbers for data validation, however it must be changed from Double to Integer. Then use additional functionality to test whether they are in the specified ranges. For example, if you successfully GetInput for LB and GetInput for UB, then test LB <= UB. If successful, continue with GetInput for Number to Generate and check >= 1.

I am a newbie programmer and I need a way to generate random numbers for a program I am working on. It just needs to be something simple that generates a number and allows me to assign it to a variable. I would like it to be something small say 1-10 would be good and an explanation of the syntax would be helpful

I want to generate random numbers at regular time intervals. I am putting the random generation in a loop which works when a button is clicked. But since the Timer itself is a control, I don't know how to do it. I tried putting the timer in a module so I can access it inside the form.
But the following error occurs:
"Error 1 Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types".
When I doubleclick the timer icon the code appears as follows.
Public Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
End Sub
I made a small license generator app with a datetimepicker, a textbox and a button on the form. When I ran the app and clicked the button to generate a license I got - 16DDD-06DDDD-09DDDDD, and each subsequent button click would get me a license with a different generated character (16444-064444-0944444, etc...).
I thought this was unusual as it should be generating a random character not a repeating one, so I stepped through in debug and the characters generated were random (161g2-06T5ip-0957H9k). I thought perhaps that I needed to seed the value with Now().Milliseconds, no luck, that still resulted in repeating characters. So I tried sleeping the thread and that generated the random values I wanted.

I'm realy green when it comes to programming but I like to think I am learning quickly. However, I cant figure out how to generate a number of random numbers baised on the vailu of a numeric slider. So for example I am generating a number between 1-12 where each point of value for the slider would generate an indiigual number that can all be added to a final total. I would also like to be able to back the slider down to a previous number and have the same total I had last time I was at position x. This is what i have so far:

View 3 Repliesam writing an system application for a company that must generate inquiry id and order id automatically. Whenever a customer makes a new inquiry or new order by clicking the add button, an automatic number should be displayed in the text box and when it's saved, it should be saved in the database access.
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 RepliesSo 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.
