Pick a random Entry from a database -


i trying code application me run quiz night.

i have different databases different categories want able randomly pick out question from, , show on screen.

so far have got:

 if lcat.text = "film"         lques.text = film_questiontextbox.text         film_usedtextbox.text = "y"         filmbindingsource.endedit()         filmtableadapter.update(me.database1dataset)     end if 

this picks first question corresponding database, how make random question.

in t-sql @ least, can use sql single random row questions table:

select top 1 * [questions] order newid() 

the newid() function generates random uniqueidentifier every row.
