I have a class and I am trying to randomly select 3 items to display on a page (each item should be unique so that there is no repeating).I have some code that works(ish). The problem is that when I track the random numbers it takes about at least 50 attempts for the application to select a different random number than the one that was chosen the first time (defying the laws of probability).[code]

Right so I have made a graphic of a coin being flipped. Heads is shown on one graphic, tails on the other. I wanna set it up so that when I hit go it will randomly play one of the two graphics on one of my forms.How easy is it to add a .gif file to a form that can play when told to? What is the code im looking for to help with me with what I'm trying to do?
Another thing I plan to achieve is also a random number generator that will display a number on a ball that rolls on to the screen. So the displaying of a number will be timed to show up when the ball comes in focus. I have some code that I have used previously to generate a number, but I wanna get the generated number to show in time with the ball rolling up.What are some wait commands to use in vb .net? This is the code I am using to randomly generate a number.

TextBox1.Text = r.Next(0, 150)

The next step is I need to build a randomizer to randomly select a row and read the columns of that row into varibles.I have a working randomizer that can randomly pick a number between min and max values but what I don't know if how to select a row / How to find out how many rows are available and how to read the values into varibles.Am I right in declaring an Integer Varible then using:
AvailableRows = DDT.Rows.Count
Then use my Random Function to pick a number between 0 and AvailableRows
what I want is to select random items from a CheckedListBox and then print them to a sheet of paper. I also want to define how many random items are checked via a TextBox.

View 3 RepliesI have a form with a Tab Control that has 18 pages. When I click on a tab it opens the page and select a textbox on that page (txtTextbox1. Select() ). This works for the first 8 pages but not for the remaining 10 pages. Although on these pages I can mouse click on the textbox, enter info, save then click my Add button that clears the textboxes and has the code (txtTextbox1. Select() ). The textbox is selected just fine. The code for all my pages is the same except for the tab name and the control names. The tab key will move the selection to the next textbox in order on all pages and the Enter key is coded to do the same. The first 8 pages have a total of 256 labels, buttons, list boxes, textboxes and checkboxes on them.
View 10 RepliesHow long it would take to generate all of the numbers between 1 and X randomly.
X=1,000,000 took 6 seconds, and for 10,000,000 took over a minute.
Does that sound reasonable?
Experiment
stopwatch start
count = 0
do while count < x
select a random number between 1 and X inclusive
have i selected this number before?
no-add 1 to count
yes -

stopwatch stop
display elapsed time

I am a beginer in vb.net. For a school project, i have chosen inventory control as the subject. WIth help from videos, i have developed some basic forms with adding/updating.

Now, i am designing the purchase/sales screens. I am showing the items name, qty, price in a datagrid. From the products table, I am able to select the 'ProductName' by giving it a combobox . I want the ProductSellingPrice also to appear in the next column of the grid.
I am trying to create an application that will randomly select 14 "stations" (strings) from a list of 33. My thinking is that I have a for/next loop that randomly selects a number between 1,33 which is then inputted into an array (arrnumber) I then want those random numbers to then be used to call the Station name which is saved in the second array, and then for the selected stations to be populated into a listbox (potentially by storing those names selected in a new array?)
Various people have suggested either using a list (of t) instead of arrays, or a Dictionary(?) or perhaps even a database, though I am not all that confident with VB to be able to know where the best place to start with that is. So if anyone can offer any advice, pointers as to how I can link my 2 arrays (I am pretty sure I know how to make the array populate a listbox) I would be very much obliged.

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 have just about completed a .NET project to write a program to randomly select numbers for a Bingo caller. Over the last month or so Ive learned a lot about .NET but heres something that I consider to be odd and maybe one of you guys can offer an opinion.
One of the features of calling Bingo in a small local club is that callers often use little sayings to accompany certain numbers, I expect youve all heard of (say) All the sixes, clickety click for 66 or 5 and 9 the Brighton line for 59 etc. My little program gives an option to incorporate these with a prompt for the caller that can be edited outside of the program. One of these conventional sayings is used when a number is reversed 12 followed by 21 or 45 followed by 54 for example, when the caller might call (say) 1 and 2, one dozen, number 12 And the other way round 2 and 1, twenty one.
So, I programmed in a bit of code to detect this and to over-ride whatever might otherwise have been the quote with And the other way round and set about testing it. Ive been through literally dozens of full 90 calls watching for the occurrence of a reversed number, spent a few hours doing it, and not once has it occurred which is to say the least, unusual.
So, Im wondering about the Rand Function, could it be that it isnt possible for a reversed number to be selected? Just so you know, I randomly pre-select the order of all 90 numbers, I fill each of the 90 elements of an array with a random number first checking that the number selected hasnt already been stored, if it has, I just get the next random number (and check that too of course), but I cant see how that could prevent reversed numbers being selected, especially in light of the fact that frequently it's not the 'next' number that's used.
randomly select a single student out of the student array based on their subscript number. This will be accomplished by the following:
[Code]...
Basically, I'm not sure if I'm thinking along the correct lines when trying to break this down. The program is supposed to display the question "How much is _ x _?" with _ being a randomly generated number between 0-9 which I have in a label. The student inputs the answer and clicks the "Answer" button. If he gets it right, the label below outputs "Very Good!" and automatically puts a new question in the above label. If the student gets it incorrect, the output is "No, Please try again." and the student keeps trying until the question is answered correctly.
My method of thinking on this is that the random.object generator is input first so the question with the numbers are output in the first label. Then, under the Sub answer.button, enter the statements that will either check and refer to the above statements to get a new question or have the student try again until it's answered correctly. One of the other criteria for this is that I have to use a function for the calculation. Would the function statement, because it has to return a value, go before the answer.button code or after?
how to create an if statement that says, if the button on another form is selected then do this.
