• AKW2006 getting a random number between numbers that not following each other

  i want a random number out of lets say 5, 8, 15, 65 and 99 how can i do this thanks in advance Try this (uncompiled & tested code): //Create the result set int[] numbers = new int[]{5,8,15,65,99}; Random rand = new Random(); //Randomize the index int index = rand.Next(numbers.Length); //Get the random value from the result set int randomNumber = numbers[index]; So, you must first define the result set.

• Expressman Problem w/ creating a Access 2003 database connection

  I am working on a school project that I have to connect to an Access database and have it display the table information in a DataGridView and then based on the row selected input the first, last name in a combobox. However, when I try to do an "Add Connection" when I try changing the connection from the SQL Database to Access Database it asks me for a connection string. I have tried everything and nothing works. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2003 and VB Express 2005, to no avail. I have read on this forum where others have had similar problems, but the standard answer is do it in code. I cannot do this as the instructor will not allow it. Other than using a friends PC and seeing if it works, I am stuck. I am using WinXP with Sp ...Show All

• David Day Program Changes

  Is there a method to program a series of changes into the project For example, I need to add a constraint to a particular column in a series of tables. I could write a TSQL command to walk the database and add the correct constraint to the column in question, problem solved. However, since there's no easy way to get those scripts back into the project (I do know about the "Import Script" option, but exporting 10-15 individual scripts and then importing those same 10-15 individual scripts seems like quite a lot of work) I was wondering if there's a way to run some sort of set of programmed changes against the project itself Thanks for the response. Sorry I'm so late getting back. Just to clar ...Show All

• Sweed Weird variable incrementing

  I'm making a noughts and crosses game. I made it with two homan players to start with and it works fine. The turn is 0 then when each player takes a turn, it increases by 1 until 9 turns taken and it stops if the game hasn't already been won. When I add an AI method to it, it follows the same procedure. Two humans Player 1 goes - turn increased - checks for AI opponent - if no changes player to player 2 Player 2 goes - turn increased - changes player to player 1 etc AI opponent Player 1 goes - turn increased - checks for AI opponent - if yes goes into AI method - turn increased - awaits player 1 input and goes through it again When I use Step Into Debug, it's fine, turn increases by one each time but when I just press F5 and play, the turn ...Show All
