how to Randomize the location

Question

i have an application of winforms with the logic of REMEMBER me game. what i want is that when ever i click reset button or run the game the locations of my buttons will be different(rumbled) so that the game will be interesting :)

this are my codes so far

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    int b1 = 1, b2 = 2, b3 = 3,b4 = 4,b5 = 5,b6 = 6;
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    private void Wrong_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        progressBar1.Increment(10);
        if (progressBar1.Value == 100)
        {
            Wrong.Stop();
            button1.Text = "";

Answer 1

I think i understand, you want to have the locations of the buttons different for every game.

Create a class to store the locations:

public class ButtonLocation
    {
        public int Left {get;set;}
        public int Top {get;set;}

    }

Then, populate a list with each of the possible locations, and then use Random to pick one location, and put a button there, the way you do that is up to you, as you may want to create something more scale-able in case you want more buttons in the future.

heres code for randomly picking the locations though :

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //Create a list of locations.
        List<ButtonLocation> buttonLocations = new List<ButtonLocation>() { 
            new ButtonLocation {Left = 100, Top = 100},
            new ButtonLocation {Left = 100, Top = 200},
            new ButtonLocation {Left = 100, Top = 300},
            new ButtonLocation {Left = 300, Top = 400},
            new ButtonLocation {Left = 300, Top = 500},
            new ButtonLocation {Left = 300, Top = 600}
        };
        //Instantiate Random
        Random random = new Random();

        //Loop through the different Locations
        while (buttonLocations.Count() > 0)
        {
            //Generate a random int from 0 to -1 of the number of possible locations
            int randomButtonLocationIndex = random.Next(0, buttonLocations.Count() - 1);
            //Create New button, Rememeber to add the event to this new button!
            Button button = new Button();

            button.Left = buttonLocations[randomButtonLocationIndex].Left;
            button.Top = buttonLocations[randomButtonLocationIndex].Top;

            this.Controls.Add(button);



            buttonLocations.RemoveAt(randomButtonLocationIndex);
        }





    }

Answer 2

well, if you say different and mean that the location is random, then you have the location property that you can play with.

Random rand = new Random(5);
button1.Location = new Point(
       rand.Next(Width - button1.Width), 
       rand.Next(Height - button1.Height))

if you mean the code to be different you need to have a random token, that each button, upon being clicked will check if he got the token
