Random numbers in vb.net

Hi,

I am trying to get some random numbers in a vb scripted componentm, similar to the functionality the random component in grasshopper already gives you. I was trying to find a GH Class which does it with Reflector but I was not able to find it. If someone could tell me where to find it or an alternative way, that would be great.

Many thanks, Philipp

well... found it... ;)

Dim RandomClass As New Random
Dim RandomNumber As Integer
RandomNumber = RandomClass.Next(4, 14)

This will give you different random numbers each time, use a seed if you want the same random numbers each time:

Dim rnd Ad New Random(537)

The seed can be any integer value.
