I need a little more help, I am nearly done and I have figured out how to display the randomly generated cards, but I now need to calculate the players score in the player class but im not to sure what I can do here, I need to retrieve the randomly selected card value that was stored ... I have just sent the relevant code.

This is my deck class...


Public Class Deck

Dim c As Card = New Card()


Dim deckOfCards As List(Of KeyValuePair(Of String, Integer))


Public Function RandomCards(ByVal min As Integer, ByVal max As Integer) As Integer


Static generator As System.Random = New System.Random()

Return generator.Next(min, max)
End Function

Public Function dealCard()
Dim card As String
Dim scoreValue As Integer
deckOfCards = c.cardValues()


Dim ranCard As Integer = RandomCards(0, deckOfCards.Count - 1)


card = deckOfCards(ranCard).Key

' I declared this for the sake of returning in to the calculateScore value but im really not to sure what im doing.
scoreValue = deckOfCards(ranCard).Value



Return card
End Function
End Class


And this is my player class...


Public Class Player


Public playerScore As Integer = 0
Public wins As Integer = 0
Public losses As Integer = 0
Public ties As Integer = 0

Public Function calculateScore(ByRef scoreVale As Integer)
Dim randCard As Integer
randCard = "This needs to be the randomly selected cards value that was stored in the 'KeyValuPpare'"


playerScore += randCard
Return playerScore

End Function
End Class

Thanks that was very helpful, and I enjoyed your explanations.

Thanks a lot man, this really helps me a lot, there is a bit more I would like to ask, but first I just want to thank you for helping me and giving me good criticism and not just turning away.
so here goes my questions...

1. how would I link my different images to each card (eg. 0 : SpadeAce : 11) how would I link the ace card image to this ?

If you could help it would be great, maby evan an email ?

Thank you very much for your time, ill give that tutorial a go and let you know how things go
