Random Value

[Shapper]

Hello,

I declared, in my aspx.vb code, a variable of type integer.

How can I set its value to a random value which can be only 1,2,3 or 4?

Thanks,
Miguel

Simply use the System.Random() method.

Here's an example:

[Scott M.]

Dim X As new Random()
Dim theNum As Short = x.Next(1,5)

Notice the max. value is set to 5, not 4. This is not very well documented,
but you will never get the max. value you specify, only values up to, but
not including the max.
