    Random Number Generator

    There seems to be no documentation on how to generate random numbers as easily as in VB6. The following generates a different sequence of number(s) in the range 0 to 45 each time it is invoked, even if the project is re-started (which is where several generators fall down).

    VB Code:
    1. Dim rnd As New Random (Form or Global scope NOT local)

    2.  
    3. TextBox1.Text = rnd.Next(45).ToString

    The System.Random class seems well documented to me. What's your exact problem?

    I have no problem with it. This is not a problem post. I put this in the code bank because there are dozens of posts on the subject, most of which end up NOT generating random numbers at all. Look some of them up and you will see what I mean. It may be easy to you but it obviously isn't to many others. We should not really be having this discussion in the codebank section. Either start a new thread or use the private message system.
