I am trying to generate a random number from within a class and am getting "Type 'Random' is not defined" - does anyone have any ideas. Here is the code
**note the code works on an aspx.vb page, but not from within my class
Dim RandomClass As New Random()
Dim RandomNumber As Integer
RandomNumber = RandomClass.Next(3)
I know there is a class called Random but how do I generate random numbers manually? without using Random class.

From what i know Random() is initialize to the current time. If two connections hit during the same second i should get the same two random numbers? With a large site that can be likely. Locking is bad so how should i solve it? note: the number is used for the session id.
-edit- i am stuck using a long. It feels wrong to shorten a 128bit GUID
I am trying to create a Question Bank application for one of our clients. What is the main challenge I am facing is a typical demand from the client. What they want is : Whenever users open this site a set of random numbers(range say 1 to 20) should be generated and questions with the QuestionID(column in a table in Database) according to the numbers would be displayed in the page. I have done it to some extent but, still not satisfied with it.
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int[] n = new int[10];
int rn;
bool Check = true;
int[] n1 = new int[10];
Random rand = new Random();
n1[0] = rand.Next(1, 21);
for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++)
{
rn = rand.Next(1, 21);
for (int j = 0; j < n1.Length; j++)
{
if (n1[j] == rn)
{
Check = false;
break;
}
else
continue;
}
if (Check == true)
n1[i] = rn;
}
for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
Response.Write(n1[i] + " ");
}
}
