Actually, in VB.NET (and VB6 too, unless you had option base 1 set) that
would have 13 items :) But anyway...

Dim ms() as string = {"first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth"}
dim rand As new Random()
dim i as integer = rand.next (0, ms.getupperbound(0))

messagebox.show (ms(i))

Just to point out one thing. The rand.next function that you show will get
a random number from 0 to 3. It does not include the upper bound. You
need to specify ms.getupperbound(0,ms.getupperbound(0) + 1).

From the docs:

Return Value
A 32-bit signed integer greater than or equal to minValue and less than
maxValue; that is, the range of return values includes minValue but not
MaxValue. If minValue equals maxValue, minValue is returned.

Yes, your correct... I always forget that. Actually, an easier
solution, would just to use ms.getupperbound(0, ms.length).

Additionally to Tom's comments, you say you cannot assign to a label?, the
answer is yes

myLabel.Text = "YourString"

or

myLabel.Text = yourArray(index)
