How do I make a number Generator? Can somebody explain me? (with the code)

[kresh7]

its pretty easy ok heres what you need a textbox and a command button

insert this code on the command button

Quote

text1.text = Rnd * 99999999999#

thats all if you use a timer its more intereseting cuz you see how the numbers generat randomly :D

Dim random as New Random
dim num as integer
num=random.next(start Value, End value***)
me.xoutputlabel.text=num

***You must enter one more than what you want. So if you want a number from 1 to 100, the code would be

num=random.next(1,101)

Great help guys. +rep given to you both.

I guess that wazofski can figure things out thanks to your help.

I went a step further with this. If you want to have a user defined parameter for the generator to work within, then your code can look like this.

Dim random As New Random
        Dim num As Integer
        'declare the the user input variables
        Dim start As Integer
        Dim finish As Integer
        start = Val(Me.value1Txt.Text)
        finish = Val(Me.value2Txt.Text) + 1
        'randomly generat a number withing the user defined parameters
        num = random.Next(start, finish)
        'display output
        Me.resultLbl.Text = num

I've always love tweaking code some. Don't mind the comments, i do it so i don't lose myself (as I have ADD and find that it happens a lot). Hope it helps you further your project a little more, or helps someone with maybe that question.

Hmm my VB shows me an error in this line

Dim random As New Random

It does not accept As New Random (There is no Random in my list)

I'm not exactly sure why it is doing that for you, it seems to be working fine for me. Are you having it run the code inside the event handler, or are you running the code at the start of the program?

[TcM]

What do you mean? I made that code in the form_load

[RagedSparrow]

It works for me if the code is run inside an event handler such as the clicking of a button, i'm not sure exactly why yours isn't working, i will run some tests when i get home later today and do some troubleshooting and see if maybe I can come up with a solution.

Try System.Random instead. Maybe you need to reference a library or something.
P.S. Can I have some reputation points, too? Pleeeease? I never get any (sob, sob).
