random values

Question

I am using silverlight vb.net

I have a class which creates a set of classes.
class A -> creates of 10 class B

Each of class B has a a few random numbers for a calculation.
The issue is the random numbers are not random as most are similar. I dont want to pass a whole lot of random numbers to the class B to make it work.

Answer 1

Hi. I assume you're creating a new "Random" object in each class B? So a solution would be to make your Random a static field of class B, so it's only created (and seeded!) once. If that is not the problem (or doesn't solve it), may I ask if you can post the code of your random number generation?

Answer 2

you mean i create the random variable in class A and pass that to class B?

 

 

Answer 3

No. Like I said: "make your Random a static field of class B". You're still generating the values in class B. However I think the problem is that at the moment you're using a Random object for every instance of the class, which can make the generated random numbers very similar. If you only use one single Random object (e.g. a static field) for that, the results will be much better.

Edit: like that:

class B
{
  private static Random _rnd = new Random();

  ...
}
