I am trying to write a code for a project that lists the contents of a deck of cards, asks how much times the person wants to shuffle the deck, and then shuffles them. It has to use a method to create two random integers using the System.Random class.

These are my classes:

Program.cs:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication3
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Deck mydeck = new Deck();
            foreach (Card c in mydeck.Cards)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(c);
            }
            Console.WriteLine("How Many Times Do You Want To Shuffle?");

        }
    }
}

Deck.cs:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication3
{
    class Deck
    {


        Card[] cards = new Card[52];
        string[] numbers = new string[] { "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "J", "Q", "K" };
        public Deck()
        {
            int i = 0;
            foreach(string s in numbers)
            {
                cards[i] = new Card(Suits.Clubs, s);
                i++;

            }
            foreach (string s in numbers)
            {
                cards[i] = new Card(Suits.Spades, s);
                i++;

            }
            foreach (string s in numbers)
            {
                cards[i] = new Card(Suits.Hearts, s);
                i++;

            }
            foreach (string s in numbers)
            {
                cards[i] = new Card(Suits.Diamonds, s);
                i++;

            }
        }

        public Card[] Cards
        {
            get
            {
                return cards;


            }
        }

    }  
}

classes.cs:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication3
{

    enum Suits 
        {
            Hearts,
            Diamonds,
            Spades,
            Clubs

    }
}

Card.cs:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication3
{
    class Card
    {
        protected Suits suit;
        protected string cardvalue;
        public Card()
        {
        }
        public Card(Suits suit2, string cardvalue2)
        {
            suit = suit2;
            cardvalue = cardvalue2;
        }
        public override string ToString()
        {
            return string.Format("{0} of {1}", cardvalue, suit);
        }
    }
 }

Please tell me how to make the cards shuffle as much as the person wants and then list the shuffled cards. Sorry about the formatting im new to this site.
