Hello All,

So I just got Vb 2008 Express Edition again and I was wondering how do I make a program that will generate a certain word or url that I have already pre-loaded.

How do I put 500+ URLS or Words and Have the program generate one word or url each time certain button is clicked?

Thank you

You can load the words into an array or something close to that, and have a random number generator generate a number between 0 and the max count of items in the array, and access the array at the index that the generator generated.
Ex:

Dim arr() As String = {"F", "Z", "Y"}
        Dim RND As New Random
        Dim int As Integer = RND.Next(0, arr.Count)
        MsgBox(arr(int))
