Program That Generates Random Numbers For A "Lottery"
Oct 15, 2011
Making a program that generates random numbers for a "Lottery" (really for homework). Four different types of games and must show up on the GUI when click generate. My question is do you have to have different dim randomObject As New Random() for every Sub to produce different numbers? Every single type of game has different range of number. The Sub needs to return the results back as a string. If I request the method each time will I get a different number back from the range? Here is what I have but just so lost.
Public Class LotteryNumberGenerator
Dim randomObject As New Random()
Private Sub genButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As

I am trying to write a random number function that can just be called from my main module to generate different random numbers. I have tried this several different ways and I am having odd results. Approximately 19 times out of 20 the numbers come back exactly the same, but approximately 1 in 20 they come back as two different numbers. Im using Visual Basic Studio 2008. Here is the code I have so far, or rather, the current version of my many tests I have been running to try and figure it out. Sometimes it takes many runs of the program before the two seperate numbers apear.I've been researching it and have come up with nothing so far.I know I could put them in the module section as two different randoms and it works, but I get extra points if i use a couple classes in my program.This is the main module.
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim randomNumOne As New RandNum[code]...........

I'm trying to make an application where when the user clicks a button, it generates a series of 100 random numbers between 1 and 1000, and then saves those numbers in a text file. All I could come up with is generating ONE random number, but I can't figure out how to make it 100. Here is what I have:

I am making a program which generates a random number between 1 and 10 and when 7 appears it is suppose to tell you how many tries it took to get the number 7 and then end the application. This is the code I have used:
CODE:
This code only generates the number 7 and exits the application, each time i click the random button but i want it to show the other number it randomizes too for example 1 2 3 4 .. etc, if u dont understand, please try it, but im trying to say, when i clikc random it just says number 7 (does randomizing in background) and tells you how much tries it took but i want it to show the other number it randomized also and when 7 appears, then exit the program

I got a little program that generates a random line of text from a .txt file and all is working well, at least for the most part.
On occasion I get an error message popup saying "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: Index."
Here's my code:
CODE:
The last bit is where the random number is generated, which I am guessing where the problem itself is, but am unsure as to how to fix it...

I am not going to use this to make any money, it is for an MMORPG (game) so players can benefit.As the title says im looking to make a Random Number 'Lottery', in other words I would like to be able to have random numbers generated and recorded onto a webpage (i don't know if .html or .php is best) but if i could get it to run on an .exe in which people could download and run it would have all my information on, but i would need a way in which i could update it without them having to re-download every 5 minutes. (Perhaps it could connect to a database? I don't know)

I am developing an application that automatically checks player numbers in the Irish Lottery.
The code below checks each players 3 numbers against the six drawn numbers and reports on matching numbers and winnings. Each players information is stored in a specialised.string.collection in my.settings as shown below
Susan,3,18,26,2
Colin,4,16,28,1
The following checks the numbers but only the first item in the collection is being displayed in the multiine textbox.
Me.txtDrawInformation.Text = "Player results for " & drdate & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
Dim player As New ArrayList
For Each item In My.Settings.Wednesday

This code should get one random line from sample.txt and put it in Label1 - problem is that it's only getting line 2. Every single time.
Dim ioLine As String ' Going to hold one line at a time
Dim ioLines As String ' Going to hold whole file
Dim ioFile As New StreamReader("sample.txt")

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

Basically what I am making is a form with just one button and 2 text boxes. The purpose of it is that when I click the button 2 random PRIME numbers between 100-999 will show up in the boxes. With my code I have now, the numbers that show up in the boxes aren't always Prime.
My current Code is.......
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Randomize()
Dim p, q, i, j As Integer

I have the following code which extracts the contactcode from a table in a database;
[Code]...
Code: lblUniqueID.Value() = (RandomPassword.Generate(4, 6)) Now, I want to compare the contactcode values extracted from the database and the value stored in lblUniqueID.Value(). If the random password is similar to one of the contactcode then generate another RandomPassword IF NOT then place the value to another label called lbltransfer.text.
I'll insert that value to the database.. The idea is extract all the contactcodes(these are the random passwords already generated and stored) from the database. Compare with the new generated password if it exists then create another one if not then store it in a label called lbltransfer.text.

I'm Trying to make a piece of software where You enter a number and the computer measures the length of the number, and then generates random numbers to match the human number. It will then count the number of guesses and the time taken. However it always comes up that there was a infinite loop "An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll". I have searched up how to do this and I can't seem to find out how. I think I just put my wording wrong when looking it up. My Software Has Has 2 TextBox, 2 Buttons, 6 labels (4 just to make it user friendly) and a timer.
Here is the Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim TimeTaken As Integer
Dim GuessesTaken As Integer

I'm supposed to make an app where computer generates a random number using a function and then the user has to guess the number. If they get it right, they see a picture.... If they get it wrong the loop keeps going until ten guesses are up.. I'm running into quite a few problems...
1. I don't know how to tell if the photo will show up if the number is right because right now I have it set to false in the form, so it dosen't show up but in my loop I included the code that SHOULD allow it to show up if both numbers are the same.... Not sure if this is correct...
2. I have a textbox that is supposed to keep track of the number of guesses but the message automatically becomes Game Over and the guesses go up to 11 as soon as I click the Are You Right Button?
3. When I try to debug, my app freezes and I don't know why...

I've created code that generates a random number and validates the users guess to see if its correct. I think the code is good but i'm not 100% sure. I need to add additional pieces to the code and i'm not sure where or how to do it. allow the user 10 guesses. after 10 guesses disable the ability to make more guesses if the 10th guess is wrong count each guess entered & display the count as it increments display each guess along with its returned messaeg into a list box. when the user gets correct answer provide a box to allow them to play again. Re-initialize variables back to their starting status.
a. If the user correctly guesses the number in less than 5 guesses display "Either you know the secret or you got lucky!" in a message box. b. If the user correctly guesses the number in 5, 6, or 7 guesses, display "Ah Ha! Do you know the secret?" in a message box. c. If the number of guesses is 8 to 10, then display "Try to do better next time." d. If the number of guesses exceeds 10, then display "You have taken too many guesses."

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.

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.

I've been working on a program that generates a batch file, then when you press a button, it executes that batch file. There are multiple batch files attached to each item in the list box.
[code]...
The only thing that it does when I press the button, is starts the batch file, then goes to function searchtitle, which executes the batch file again when it finds out it didn't work properly.The button text doesn't change, none of the items are being added to my first list box, and I can't do anything to the window after pressing the button. It constantly opens the batch file every 5 seconds or so.

I don't take programming lessons at school or anything, and I'm starting to (try to) teach myself about random things.Currently I'm making an app that has 3 functions:
-Random Integer (1 to 100)
-Random Answer (Yes or No, similar to a coin flip)
-Random Dice Roll (1 to 6)
How would I go about doing this?At the moment all I know about random numbers etc. is that I will need to do something along the lines of Dim dice As New Random or something like that, but, like I mentioned, I have no idea.I am well aware of the DIC rules that you won't write the code for me/do my "homework(?)" for me, and that's not what I'm asking.

Basically, I want to divide two numbers together and they should be 2 random numbers from 1-12 (I have done that part) but, the answer should be a whole number (i.e. Integer, so no decimal points etc) So, I did the following:
' Initialize the random-number generator.
Randomize()
' Generate random value between 1 and 12.
Dim value5 As Integer = CInt(Int((12 * Rnd()) + 1))
[code]....
but the problem here is that the program crashes after only a few clicks on the button. So I guess the question is: How can I make the program generate two numbers (from 1-12) that when divided become a whole number?(Is there any code that may tell the random generator that I want the numbers to be even?-so all even numbers from 1-12?)

i want to know how to generate 7 "differents" random numbers.
I need to use a tab() with 7 entries and verify(with a loop?) if the generated number is or not present in the the table, if not then increment a counter by 1 and add the number in the table and increment the table position by 1 for the next randomized number.
Im not sure how to do the verification, so far all i have is a function i made for the random number between min and max:
Private Function randGen(ByVal min As Integer, ByVal max As Integer)
Dim random As New Random()
Dim i As Integer
