Solution 1

I think a simple path would be storing the questions (and the relative solutions) in a database and then select randomly a row on the questions table (you may, for instance, assign a numeric id to each question and then choose the question having id equal to a random generated number).

Solution 2

use random function While you Select The Question From Table

Eg:

SQL

select top 1 user_Code from tbl_user_registration order by newid()

Its easy make a table and add question,with three wrong and one right ans with serial no
Then in your form get max(serial no) table then

use this code

VB

'IN form load event 
 
dim n,i as integer


Dim num As New Random

for i = 1 to no_of_questions 'you want to load in form

	  
n =num.Next(1, max_serial_no)

'now your sql query

dim sqlqry = "select question,ans1,ans2,ans3,ans4,rightans from question_table where serial_no = " & n & "" 

'in your ans one ans must be same with right ans and get that in form
'use your datareader executequery command
