Pick random word from list?

Question

I´m having trouble picking a random word from a list in another file. Actually I can´t even get it to choose any word. I´m not sure how to connect the 2 files so to say. Hoping

Here is the very simple solution:

Populate your list just one time, or when ever you add any word, call this method. Code:

private void PopulateTheWordList()
        {
            Console.Write("\n\tAdd a word\n\n");
            WordList.Add(Console.ReadLine());
        }

Now just call this method to get random words:

private string PickWord()
        {
            Random ran = new Random();
            return WordList[ran.Next(0, WordList.Count)];
        }

If you need to create List of words in another class, then use keyword static:

static List WordList = new List();

Now you can call it by just writing the class name, like YourClassName.WordList
