#SHOW ME RANDOM PICTURES CODE#

VB's a fun place to start for many people, and can turn into a career (it did for me). And helping newbies just feels all-around better, sometimes you see them grow in talent over a couple of years then come back and start answering questions themselves. I've tried C# communities, it turns out they don't attract as many newbies as VB communities. And I might even hang out on Spanish-speaking forums if I held that belief. I can be fluent in Spanish and say 'I think English is a better technical language'. Once you run out of slips of paper, each person, in random order, has done one thing.įill the hat with the slips of paper again, and you can go through it again.Ĭoncept is simple. You draw the slips of paper from the hat one at a time, and ask the person with that number to do something. You put slips of paper, each with a corresponding unique number on it, in a hat. If you had a line of people you wanted to do something on demand you could line them up and give each a number.

Very few lines of code and seems straight forward logic to me. Use the value to set the picturebox image to the image stored at that index value. Remove the value at that index from the List(Of Integer) so you can't choose it again. Use an instance of the Random object to choose an index into the List(Of Integer) and get the value stored there. Populate another List(Of Integer) with the numbers 0 to the image list count - 1. Just add the images to a List(Of Image) or List(Of Bitmap). So, I would say that there really isn't a simplest way to do this, because the simplest way would probably suck at times.I find the concept or implementation of 'drawing objects from a hat' pretty simple, but perhaps that is just me. In other words, if the first picture is 3, then don't show 3 again until you have seen all the others in the set. You may want to see all N pictures in random order, but no repeats until after you have gone through all N. There's a lot of ways to go about it, but one of the best is to load your images into an array, randomly select an array index, then set the picturebox's Image property to that image: But it's better to have one PictureBox that you set the image to randomly. You could sort of implement a form where you load an array of PictureBox controls, then randomly pick one of them and add them to the form. A 'picture box' is a control that you use to display an image. I think your main problem, based on the text alone, is you need to realize a 'picture box' and an 'image' are two different things. This tends to not get very good responses, and in the worst case attracts people who get excited about finding elaborate ways to make you feel bad about answering the question. You asked a question about a simple problem without displaying much effort on your own.

Did you expect a forum cookie? Instead you look like a troll, and you're certainly not making look good to a new user. Wait for someone with no self respect and in need of a perceived validation of their worth to do it for you in hopes of earning a forum cookie?Bad form. So, I would say that there really isn't a simplest way to do this, because the simplest way would probably suck at times.

Or, you may want something that I can't quite put into a single sentence, so I'll use a few: Suppose you have a set of N pictures. Instead, you may want the sequence to be N, followed by anything that is not N. However, with a picturebox, you may or may not want a true random sequence. There are times when you really want to get a random sequence, so if 2,2,2,2 comes up, then so be it. The problem with a true random sequence is that you could get 2, 2, 2, 2. After all, I wouldn't care to tackle this particular problem without knowing at least one key point: Do you REALLY want random, or do you want.almost random? Wait for someone with no self respect and in need of a perceived validation of their worth to do it for you in hopes of earning a forum cookie?Technically, that's correct, but probably not all that helpful.
