Does anyone even try using a search engine anymore? The second item
aftger a "vb.net random number" search is:

Random Integers
Once the class has been instantiated, a random integer can be obtained
by calling the Next method of the Random class:
http://authors.aspalliance.com/brett...rsInVB.NET.asp
Random numbers may be generated in the .NET Framework by making use of
the Random class. This class may be instantiated using the following code:
'Create a new Random class in VB.NET
Dim RandomClass As New Random()
'VB.NET
Dim RandomNumber As Integer
RandomNumber = RandomClass.Next()
The value of RandomNumber will, therefore, be assigned a random whole
number between 1 and 2,147,483,647.
In most coding situations, it is more desirable to create a random
number within a certain size range. In this case, the Next method should
be called with two arguments: the minimum value and the maximum value.
For example, the following assigns RandomNumber to a value that is
greater or equal to 4 and less than 14:
'VB.NET
Dim RandomNumber As Integer
RandomNumber = RandomClass.Next(4, 14)
Note that an ArgumentOutOfRangeException will be raised if the minimum
value is larger than the maximum value.
It is also possible to specify just the maximum value using a different
constructor. The following will return a return a random integer that is
greater or equal to 0 and less than 14:
'VB.NET
Dim RandomNumber As Integer
RandomNumber = RandomClass.Next(14)
Again, an ArgumentOutOfRangeException will be raised if the maximum
value is smaller than 0.
