Dim randomNo as Int

...

randomNo = toInt(random)

txtcountry.text = randomNo(countr y)

When you create a random number between 0 and 28 you can then use it as an array index to select a random string. The index is the part in brackets so you need to put the random number in the brackets.
country(random number here)

I did it and this is how, if u want to know.

Private choice As Integer
Private random As New Random

choice = random.Next(0, 29)
txtcountry.Text = country(choice)
