Answer 1

I suggest you to use ListOf string instead for this. you can code like the following;

    Dim listofStrings As New List(Of String) ' Declaration of list of strings
    listofStrings.Add("qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm") 'assign values to the list
    listofStrings.Add("MNBVCXZLKJHGFDSAPOIUYTREWQ")
    listofStrings.Add("1234567890")
    Dim rnd As New Random
    Dim randomString As String = listofStrings.Item(rnd.Next(0, 3))'select random string from the list

it will generate random numbers between 0 and 2 hence it will help you to select random string from the list of strings based on index referenced by the random number

Answer 2

The below code will help you generate a random number and then pick up the string at that position in the array

string[] arr= {"qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm","MNBVCXZLKJHGFDSAPOIUYTREWQ","1234567890"};
               Random rnd = new Random();
               int cnt = rnd.Next(2);
               string r = arr[cnt];
