So what I'm trying to do is not so much generate a random word but pick one from a collection. I was thinking on generating a random number since that is very easy, then picking a word acording to the number generated. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?
View 9 RepliesI need to have two pieces of software, made in vb where one encrypts the contents of a .txt file, and the other decrypts it, and then picks one word at random and displays it each time a button is pressed, but never displays the same word. Or, if there was a way to hard code it into the program as there is only 5 words that would be better.
View 1 RepliesI have this code to pick a random number Between X and Y
X = Minimum Number
Y = Maximum Number
But the problem is i wanted to know if there is a better random function than the one i have.
Because right now i put
Min = 1
Max= 2
and it keeps picking 1
if i had min =1 and max =2 i want it to pick 1 sometimes and 2 sometimes
and now i tried min = 1 max = 3 and it never picks 3, it only picks 1 and 2
ok
Public Class Form1
Public Function RandomNumber(ByVal MinNumber As Integer, ByVal MaxNumber As Integer) As Integer

I've published a different take on a log in system on CodeProject [URL] and I've got some free time, so I thought I'd have a look at password recovery/reset.It was suggested on the article that I look into sending the account owner a single use, random url where they can reset their password if the account gets locked because of too many invalid login attempts/forgotten password.So far, I'm thinking I just have to generate a random string in a "recovery" field in the database table for the user's row and then check if the requested URL on the site is the same as the value for that field, then dynamically draw the page server-side.
