Image Image Randomization in C #

Question

I am working on a puzzle slider program and trying to randomize images inside pictures. I did some research on the Internet, I can’t find examples that I could work on. This is my code:

        Random r = new Random();

        PictureBox[] picBox = new PictureBox[9];
        picBox[0] = new PictureBox();
        picBox[1] = new PictureBox();
        picBox[2] = new PictureBox();
        picBox[3] = new PictureBox();
        picBox[4] = new PictureBox();
        picBox[5] = new PictureBox();
        picBox[6] = new PictureBox();
        picBox[7] = new PictureBox();
        picBox[8] = new PictureBox();

I also have an array of bitmap:

        Bitmap[] pictures = new Bitmap[9];
        pictures[0] = new Bitmap(@"1.1Bright.jpg");
        pictures[1] = new Bitmap(@"1.2Bright.jpg");
        pictures[2] = new Bitmap(@"1.3Bright.jpg");
        pictures[3] = new Bitmap(@"2.1Bright.jpg");
        pictures[4] = new Bitmap(@"2.2Bright.jpg");
        pictures[5] = new Bitmap(@"2.3Bright.jpg");
        pictures[6] = new Bitmap(@"3.1Bright.jpg");
        pictures[7] = new Bitmap(@"3.2Bright.jpg");
        pictures[8] = new Bitmap(@"3.3Dark.jpg");

I tried several ways, but I don’t know how to set random snapshots [] in picBox []:

        for(int i=0; i<=8;i++)
        {
            picBox[i].Image= pictures[r.Next(0,9)];
        }

the problem is that some graphic boxes, for example picBox [1] and picBox [6], are duplicate images. How to make them not repetitions? The examples are very grateful.

Answer 1

bools,

bool[] usedPictures = new bool[pictures.Length];

false. , , :

int iCount = 0;
Random random = new Random();
while (iCount < pictures.Length)
{
    int attempt = random.Next(0, pictures.Length);

    //Ensures you will only use an available picture
    if (usedPictures[attempt] == false)
    {            
        picBox[attempt].Image= pictures[iCount];
        doorUsed[attempt] = true;
        iCount++;
    }
}

shuffle.

:

namespace ExtensionMethods
{
    public static class Extensions
    {
        static Random rng = new Random();

        public static void shuffle<T>(this T[] array)
        {
            // i is the number of items remaining to be shuffled.
            for (int i = array.Length; i > 1; i--)
            {
                // Pick a random element to swap with the i-th element.
                int j = rng.Next(i);  // 0 <= j <= i-1 (0-based array)
                // Swap array elements.
                T tmp = array[j];
                array[j] = array[i - 1];
                array[i - 1] = tmp;
            }
        }

    }
}

:

ExtensionMethods;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{

    static class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            int[] array = new int[] {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};

            array.Shuffle();
        }
    }
}
