Question

SOLVED
The goal of this random function is to return a value which will be used to capitalize the corresponding line with that number, my issue is that it returns 5 every time, so something must be going wrong. Can anyone explain what I did wrong with this randomize function?

EDIT: I now get the error “randomize is a type, and cannot be used as an expression”.

Here the piece of code: randomize is a type and cannot be used as an expression.

 Module randomize
   Sub Main()

     Dim line As String = ""
     Dim linenum As Integer = 1
         Randomize()
     Dim random as Integer 
         random = CInt(Int((7 * Rnd()) + 1))

             'If linenum=random the line is capitalized.

Per the MSDN documentation for Rnd, you need to call Randomize first to create a new seed.

Also, I’m not sure if it’s a good idea naming your module after the function you need to call.
