Generating a Random Color in Visual Basic .NET - Macatone - 09-03-2012

Here is a helpful code snippit that I converted to Visual Basic .NET from Brandon's post in the Java forum.

This function returns a color with random red, green, and blue values.

I saw Brandon's post about generating a random color in Java, so I looked up how to do it in C#. Then, since I am familiar with Visual Basic .NET and C#, I was able to just change the syntax from C# to Visual Basic .NET.

You can also just use a code converter such as these:
