Make Random Numbers More Random - Thankyou

Question

Hi Can you tell me how to make the numbers more random it uses the same numbers in so many fields i need them to be as different as possible essentially. If you run this code you will see what i mean. dataGridView2.ColumnCount = 4; dataGridView2.Columns[0].Name = Column1 ; dataGridView2.Columns[1].Name = Column2 ; dataGridView2.Columns[2].Name = Column3 ; dataGridView2.Columns[3].Name = Column4 ; for ( int i = 0; i { Random t = new Random (); int get = t.Next(1 1000); int set = t.Next(1 1000); int ready = t.Next(1 1000); int go = t.Next(1 1000); dataGridView2.Rows.Add(get set ready go); Thanks Anthony

In the code in the initial post of this thread you create a new Random object each time. That is probably why you are getting the same number multiple times. Create the Random object ( new Random () ) only once for each series of random numbers; probably just once per execution.

Hi Sam No its not the same its pretty much the same code but i couldnt even populate random before but now it just doesnt seem that random there are chunks of 20 all with the same data so im trying to find a method that ill give me almost unique values and not 20 of this number 20 of another etc. Thanks Anthony

Isn't this the same question you asked in two or three other threads?
