I stole the shuffle code from the playlist class. It should generate a unique order each time the slideshow is started:

[code]
public void Shuffle()
{
Random r = new System.Random( DateTime.Now.Millisecond );
int nItemCount = m_slides.Count;

// iterate through each catalogue item performing arbitrary swaps
for ( int nItem=0; nItem < nItemCount; nItem++ )
{
int nArbitrary = r.Next( nItemCount );

if ( nArbitrary != nItem )
{
string anItem = (string)m_slides[ nArbitrary ];
m_slides[ nArbitrary ] = m_slides[ nItem ];
m_slides[ nItem ] = anItem;
}
}
}

[/code]

[QUOTE="UncleFestis, post: 12406"] I stole the shuffle code from the playlist class. It should generate a unique order each time the slideshow is started: [code] public void Shuffle() { Random r = new System.Random( DateTime.Now.Millisecond ); int nItemCount = m_slides.Count; // iterate through each catalogue item performing arbitrary swaps for ( int nItem=0; nItem < nItemCount; nItem++ ) { int nArbitrary = r.Next( nItemCount ); if ( nArbitrary != nItem ) { string anItem = (string)m_slides[ nArbitrary ]; m_slides[ nArbitrary ] = m_slides[ nItem ]; m_slides[ nItem ] = anItem; } } } [/code] [/QUOTE]
