>I've used the example from help on how to generate random numbers. Now I need a random number between -1 and 1 (integer -1,0,1) and cannot figure out how to modify the example to give negative and positive numbers. Any tips?

This should work. See the comment because I thought that was odd.

Random random = new Random();
int i = random.Next(-1, 2); // min is inclusive and max is exclusive for some reason
MessageBox.Show(i.ToString());
