Okay, I am basically bran new at programming, I have never programmed in any other language than vb.net, so yes, I am unexperienced.

I am in the midst of a battleship application, you know, the game.

I am trying to get the application (in Visual Basic.net ) to randomally place points (or ships, which are going to consist of 1 letter) behind certain points. The user will select his or her guesses buy pressing buttons (a series of 100 buttons that form the grid). So I by them pressing the button, they will press the randomly placed object, or button.

So I don't have to just randomly place points on the entire form, but randomize locations in a given section of the form, is that possible? I have read all over msdn library and can't find anything that I can related to what I am trying to do.

If there was a way to select all the buttons, or a universal button term, then I could easily use if-then statements, but I don't think that is going to work.

Thanks for the help in advanced if any is given.
