    add two 6 sided dice rolls

    VB.NET Code:
    1. Dim myRandomGenerator As System.Random
    2.         'roll1
    3.         Dim r1 As Integer
    4.         'roll2
    5.         Dim r2 As Integer
    6.         myRandomGenerator = New System.Random
    7.         Label1.Text = myRandomGenerator.Next(1, 7)
    8.         Label2.Text = myRandomGenerator.Next(1, 7)
    9.  
    10.         r1 = Val(Label1.Text) 'val()change text to number 'change what control you want (textbox, label, ect)
    11.         r2 = Val(Label2.Text) 'val()change text to number 'change what control you want(textbox, label, ect)
    12.         Label3.Text = r1 + r2 'add the two random numbers


    this is the easiest way i know of.. found a one random number generator on msdn student learning center and made a second one ^^

    I'm a stickler for clean code, and you don't need to assign the randomly generated numbers to Labels and then use VAL() to convert them back to numbers so that you can add them. This does the same thing with way less overhead:

    VB Code:
    1. Dim myRandomGenerator As System.Random = New System.Random
    2. Dim r1 As Integer = myRandomGenerator.Next(1, 7)
    3. Dim r2 As Integer = myRandomGenerator.Next(1, 7)
    4. Label1.Text = r1.ToString
    5. Label2.Text = r2.ToString
    6. Label3.Text = r1 + r2

    No problem. I actually created a die roller for my gaming group. We all used laptops and it had "real-time die roll streaming" capabilities that sent the die rolls to each person connected to the host.

    I would be more than happy to send you the code. I never fully developed it so the code is really raw and our gaming group started using Fantasy Grounds.

    Cleaner and type-safe code would be this:
    Code:
    Dim r As New Random()
    Dim r1 As Integer = r.Next(1, 7)
    Dim r2 As Integer = r.Next(1, 7)
    Me.Label1.Text = r1.ToString()
    Me.Label2.Text = r2.ToString()
    Me.Label3.Text = (r1 + r2).ToString()
