Unique random number generation in c# -


i using listing #1 develop multiple-choice q&a application.

  1. i retrieve, say, 1000 entries database.
  2. i select 6 random questions them , display them in form.
  3. i select 1 random question out of 6 ask.

enter image description here

as can see, listing #1 has 1 serious issue. may generate duplicate numbers in each step , thereby asks same question more once (to wipe off repeated).

to solve this, have written listing #2.

but, listing #2 has serious issues:

  1. the call new uniquerandomnumber().next(0, 5); never returns 5.
  2. if _list.count near 5-7, stuck in while loop ever.
  3. i observed that, randomquestion.next() returns 0 of times.

listing #1

minify - Minimizing css files -

i want know how css files can minimized. currently, using external sites css minifier compress css files. however, after removing whitespaces, comments, etc, file sizes reduced 10-15%. how frameworks bootstrap manage make minimized versions kilobytes. as example, css is: body { background-color: #ff0; } the reduction goes 28 bytes 22 bytes other css files have lot more characters still smaller this. actually minifying code means it's remove thing code white space characters new line characters comments block delimiters it reduces amount of code has transferred on web , speed site load fastly.but unreadable format.
