Hello,

I am displaying an image on a web site.
Is it possible to get a random file from a folder?

Thanks,
Miguel

Sure. Use System.IO.DirectoryInfo.GetFiles to get the list of files, use
method of the Random class to generate a random number between 0 and the
count of the files and select from the file list the file with the generated
index.
