Answer 1

I'm calling NewNumber() regularly, but the problem is I often get repeated numbers.

Random.Next doesn't guarantee the number to be unique. Also your range is from 0 to 10 and chances are you will get duplicate values. May be you can setup a list of int and insert random numbers in the list after checking if it doesn't contain the duplicate. Something like:

public Random a = new Random(); // replace from new Random(DateTime.Now.Ticks.GetHashCode());
                                // Since similar code is done in default constructor internally
public List randomList = new List();
int MyNumber = 0;
private void NewNumber()
{
    MyNumber = a.Next(0, 10);
    if (!randomList.Contains(MyNumber))
        randomList.Add(MyNumber);
}
