So in my program I have a database where I send info such as passwords, is there any way to (in an easy way) encrypt the password before sending it so instead of sending "mypassword" to the database I send a random collection of letters and numbers like "shH3n2ja"? I only need two functions, encryptPassword, decryptPassword.

How can I generate a random string of 8 numbers and letters?
View 8 RepliesWhat 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 want it so that when someone clicks a button it generates a code in the format of XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX I want them to be letters and numbers combinations
View 10 RepliesI have to (for class) make a program that generates a safe passwords for people to use. My teacher wants us to make the passwords vary in length, include numbers, letters and upper case letters. I've been able to write code that prints out a random string but it includes unrecognized characters for most passwords. How would I write the code to create a random string that has parameters? (in this case upper case lower case letters and numbers).

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.

Is this possible?
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.
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.
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.

what i need help with is, ive created a lable called lblFn next to the FirstName Textbox and would like this to be updated with "Please enter Characters Not digits" if a user enters digits in the textbox, how do i amend the above code to get this working?Basically whatever textbox a user enters wrong data in it updates the corressponding label next to it!
im a student still learning and im stuck. im writing a program that returns the ip address, splits it in to parts, and now i need it to return a string of letters for other parts to use. EX.
ip address 127.0.0.1 will look like ABG.XXX.XXX.XXA
( i would like to set 0=X so it is easier to pick out the actual
numbers)
I am able to split it and display each part and rewrite it to textboxes without the "." but i dont know where to begin to change the numbers to the letters i need.
I'm on VS 2008 I have one form contains many textboxes,when I write in one textbox (UserName) the letters and numbers should distribute to the other texts where each textbox has only one letter or number from the original text to get them ready to be encrypted.
What code I can use in text change event that takes the whole text and throw it in the other textboxes so each textbox has only one value ?
My listbox will accept any letter I add, but I can't get it to accept any numbers. I tried a case select for 1-100 and I couldn't get that to work either,

I'm brand spanking new to coding (as well as this forum). And I'm learning Visual Basic 2010 in School. Right now I am working on the following problem: "Use a masked text box to as a user to enter a phone number in a format as follows: (604)323-5819. Make sure you add input mask to the area code and phone number. Both the phone number and the area code are required. Then extract the area code and display it in a text box when a button is clicked." Here is my code, I've got it where I can input the number, and when the button is clicked (things actually appear in the text box!) however instead of getting the area code, I get "als" or alternatively if I put (0,3) I'll get "fals" I don't understand what I'm doing wrong or even where "fals" is coming from. Can someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong? I've literally been at this since 4pm today and only just (midnight) able to get it to this point and I'm incredibly frustrated as to where these letters are coming from. [code]
