as the title suggests i am trying to save a randomly generated number to a variable.I have done:
Dim randomposition As Integer
randomposition = Rnd(1, 1000)
when i do this it gives me this error:

I am making a simple console game. If you have ever heard of the board game code breaker you will understand better.
In my version of the game you will have to figure out a four number combination. The only numbers it can be is 1, 2, 3, or 4.
I need to generate four random numbers and put each on into its own variable. This allows me to call back each number.
How do I do this? I have been doing some research on random numbers and I use this code to generate four random numbers
Dim rnd As New Random()
Console.WriteLine("20 random integers from -100 to 100:")
For ctr As Integer = 1 To 20
Console.Write("{0,6}", rnd.Next(-100, 101))
If ctr Mod 5 = 0 Then Console.WriteLine()
Next
Console.WriteLine()
But I can't figure out to put each number into a variable so I can call the same numbers back.
have code to generate a new random number as follows (which is 100% working and generating numbers between 0-9:
Dim randomNumber As Integer
Dim randomNumber1 As New Random
[code].....
Variable 'RandomNumber' is used before it has been assigned a value. A new reference exception could result at runtime.
Sub RandomizeConLandLaunch(ByRef con As Integer)
Dim RandomNumber(,) As Integer
ConLandLaunch(con) = RandomNumber(1, 30000)
End Sub
what should i do ?
I know that there is a way in which you can generate any random number between any range using the random variable. But my question is that is there any way to do the same thing but with letters?
View 1 RepliesI've read numerous posts and threads about random number generation, but I havent' run across this.If I generate a bunch of random numbers, the results are radically different if I create a new Random generator for each number than if I use on Random generator for all the numbers. The results are much more consistent and evenly distributed if I use the same Random generator.I would have thought the opposite,because creating a new Random generator each time should reduce the number of random repetitions, if a different time slice is used to create the random number.[code]......

View 3 RepliesI am attempting to create a game in Visual Studio 2008 that allows a user 10 attempts to guess a random number between 1 and 50. I have a label box in which I would like to display the remaining guesses as they decrement. The code so far appears below.
My two (I am sure very basic) questions are:
1. How would I pass the random integer generated through the Generate Integer function to the AmIRight button's click function? I was trying to decrement the counter each time the "Am I Right " button is pressed.
2. I would also like to evaluate each "guess" when the "Am I right button is pressed. Is it possible to nest a Select Case statement in a For Next Loop?

i wanted to create a random number generator that iterates through a series of number between an upper and lower bound. say between 1 and 100. Basically I want the number generator to pick the numbers randomly and then display them until all 100 numbers are picked without any duplicates. so thats easy I can code that. But what I don't know is how to show those numbers in the order they are generated on a windows form. So i have basically a variable that I will let be changed 100 times (or however many times I want, I don't want their to be a size constraint just using 100 as an example) and each time the number is generated I want it displayed on screen (in a list or something not sure what. Hopefully some type of scrollable list) and each successive number also to be displayed in same format beneath it so that I can see the list in its entirety. What type of form control do i use for that? I could do messagebox.show for each iteration but then user is required to hit ok after each iteration and that would obviously be a bad idea if user selected a large number to work through. Anyways, code isn't exactly necessary just point me in the right direction, i.e.what control (if any) to use.how to format the change in data?
View 7 RepliesI am trying to create a lotto simulation, but don't know how to continue.I am using numericupdowns to allow users to select 6 lotto numbers. and labels to display what they have chosen, but i'm not sure how to prevent duplicates without creating a large number of If statementsMy question is, is there an easier way to prevent duplicates without writing a bunch of if statements?here is my code:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim Lotto1, Lotto2, Lotto3, Lotto4, Lotto5, Lotto6 As Single Lotto1 = Val(NumericUpDown1.Text) lblLotto1.Text = Lotto1 Lotto2 = Val(NumericUpDown2.Text) lblLotto2.Text = Lotto2 Lotto3 = Val(NumericUpDown3.Text)

I don't understand how to save the user selected numbers, let the computer generate 6 random numbers, and match the two sets of numbers together to see how many matches there are. As far as I understand the numbers should be stored in 2 separate arrays and then matched together to find any matches.
I have this program generating a firstname and lastname from a file. When I run this program I enter information in three textboxes. The first two are the salary low and high(salary1.text, salary2.text) and the last one is the number of "copies"(copies.text) that I want.. When I put a number such as 10 in the text box it outputs some of the same names. The firstname file has around 100 records and the lastname file has about 1000 records Why is it generating the same name The problem is even worse if I do something like 1000 copies.. it outputs the same thing 8 times and then does something different another 8 times
Public Class Form1
Dim sex As String
Function randomfirstname()
Dim infile As IO.StreamReader

i want to set a default number and you type in a textbox a random number it should tell you whether it's high or low ,and when you typed in the right nmber it a lable should says something like you win .And also how can you change PART of a lable by typing in a text in a DIFFERENT FORM
View 6 RepliesVS2010 (SP1) / .NET 4 on Windows XP. The question is simple, the answer; not so much. When generating a salt, should the LENGTH of the salt be random, fixed or a random number within a (min/max) range? I am using RNGCryptoServiceProvider to generate the salt, just unsure of the length of the salt.
View 12 Repliesis there a way to generate a random number and then display that number?
like for example i want to say "i got # - # pencils" or something like that
I heard that you have to add some code to a random number generator
results(1) = Int((5 - 1 + 1) * Rnd() + 1)
so that if it is used again and again it keeps generating new numbers as apposed to what this piece of code does by itself which is creates the same number every time.what is the code?
The file structure is fine for retrieving data from the file but when I go to write data to the elements and hit any of the fixed array elements, I get an exception error. this has got to be a sytax problem I am just not seeing.
It seems that I am not addressing the array member correctly yet the same logic pulls it properly from existing records on file.
in a Module I have the structure as follows:
Structure INVOICE
<VBFixedString(6)> Public NUM As String
<VBFixedString(2)> Public SYMBOL As String

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong; but this has been driving me crazy for a while now.I've made a small Silverlight game (an old Galaxian clone). When the game starts ~90% of the time, a bunch of stars are randomly positioned in the game area. There are three types of stars - bigger stars more faster, smaller stars move slower.

am running VB express (2008 edition). I have a class that holds 2 arrays (1 array represents the digits of the integer side of a number the other holds the decimal digits) I have overloaded all the operators to work with these numbers as if they were one. Each operator has the following format:
[Code].....
whats happening is that the sign of the b variable (and only the b variable) randomly changes. Almost allways at the statement bb=b (bb is in place so when I reach that point I know what the variable had before the calculation). I can watch it change as I step through the code (stepping over the operators) I can watch it change almost allways at the bb=b, but sometimes in other odd places (such as the d=a*yparam statement). I can change the values back to their original and step through the code(stepping into the operator this time) and it will not do it. It NEVER does it when stepping into the operator, only when I dont, and only sometimes. I have spent the last two days working on debugging this one problem, with every other variable in the function it works like it should and I am not sure what to look at next. I know it does you no good without seeing the code but didnt think pasting 8,000 lines of code would go over too well so I would be willing to send the source to anyone
i am trying to teach myself vb (im only 14), and i'm not having a easy time. What im trying to do, i need a user to define a upper and lower bound of a range. From there i need to generate random numbers, a certan number of times, with in that range...this is my first problem.And then, i need to make counters to store/test all of these variables as even, odd, positive, negative and zero's ...that i need to append to a richtextbox to show how many of each. Im not even sure if rtb is the right object to use...you know, instead of textbox, or label?the last thing was to do with Private function as boolean. do I need this to test these variable?

End Function 'RandomNumber
What I can't get to work correctly is the following. I have a textbox for the min and max. The way I have it setup is when it generates it I have a MessageBox show it but it pulls the same number a few times in a row. How do I make it pull a different number each time until all numbers a pulled. I then want to add them to a listbox as each one is generated.
