    What are you trying to do here Generate a random number It's better to do some research than take a wild guess how to do stuff.

    http://www.google.com.au/search hl=en&q=VB.NET+random+number&meta=

    The code that you've written does a bunch of bit OR operations. An OR is used to combine values, a bit is set if it's set in either value. This means that in binary, 1 and 2 are represented as 1 and 10, and an OR gives 11. So, the numbers here are

    1

    10
    11

    100

    101

    110

    111

    1000

    1001

    and ORing them gives

    1111

    which is 15.
