I have a couple quick questions with the program that I am doing. This program is a hi\lo program and here are my remaining issues...

1. When I click the high or low button in my program it does not make changes to my token (I want the default tokens to be 100 and added 100 to the text property of my textbox so want to make sure I did that right)

2. In my program it only shows 13 possibilities but want to have the ability to add more

3. I also would like to change 1 to ace, 11 to jack, 12 to queen, and 13 to king and would like to get some assistance with that as well

I think I have everything else taken care of but this is the code I have...

Public Class Form1

    Private randomgen As New Random
    Private cards As Integer
    Private cardpicked As Object
    Private clicked As Integer = 1
    Private used1, used2, used3, used4, used5, used6, used7, used8, used9, used10 As Integer
    Private myList As New List(Of Integer)

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        For index As Integer = 1 To 13

            myList.Add(index)

        Next

        ShuffleCards(1000)

    End Sub

    Private Sub ShuffleCards(ByVal NumberOfTimes As Integer)

        Dim listIndex As Integer
        Dim output As String = ""
        Dim currentCard As Integer

        Try

            For index As Integer = 1 To NumberOfTimes
                listIndex = randomgen.Next(1, 14) - 1

                'Get a currentCard
                currentCard = myList.Item(listIndex)

                'Remove it at a RANDOM position.
                myList.RemoveAt(listIndex)

                'Add it back to the list at the end of the list.
                myList.Add(currentCard)

            Next

            For cardNumber As Integer = 1 To 13
                output &= myList(cardNumber - 1) & ControlChars.NewLine

            Next

        Catch

        End Try

        MessageBox.Show("Card Order is now" & ControlChars.NewLine & output)

    End Sub

    Private Sub PickCard()

        Dim cardNumber As Integer

            cardNumber = myList.Item(0)
            myList.RemoveAt(0)

        ElseIf myList.Count = 0 Then

            MessageBox.Show("No more cards left sorry!!")

            Exit Sub

        End If

        MessageBox.Show("CardNumber is now " & cardNumber)

        clicked = clicked + 1

    End Sub



    Private Sub cardCheckButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cardCheckButton.Click

        PickCard()

    End Sub


    Private Sub highButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles highButton.Click
        '  Dim cardNumber As Integer
        'If cardNumber >> cardpicked Then
        'tokensTextBox = 100 + 10

        'ElseIf cardNumber << cardpicked Then
        'tokensTextBox = 100 - 10

        'End If

    End Sub

    Private Sub tokensTextBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tokensTextBox.TextChanged

        'ElseIf cardNumber << cardpicked Then
        '   tokensTextBox = 100 + 10
    End Sub

    Private Sub quitButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles quitButton.Click
        Me.Close()
    End Sub
End Class

anyone have any idea on this

I changed a couple of things.

You need 3 Buttons: btnHi, btnLow, btnPlayAgain.
2 Labels: lblTokens, lblCardShown
1 TextBox: txtBet

See if this will work for you.

Public Class Form1

    Private Deck As New List(Of Cards)

        Jack
        Queen

        'if you want the ace at the bottom then
        'move it to the bottom and set _2 = 2

Private Sub cardCheckButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

should have a handles clause on it:
Handles btnHi.click, btnLow.click

Just like the 1 I posted.

Member Avatar for Unhnd_Exception

It looks like you changed the btnlow to lowbutton and I'm assuming you changed the btnHigh to high button.

Private Sub cardCheckButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lowbutton.click, highbutton.click
