math functions in C# ???

In both C++ and C# SomeClass and someclass is two different classes because the languages are case sensitive. Because of that I think it would be *very* dificult to make C++ and C# correct the case for you. I mean, if you have 2 int's called IntOne and intOne, and you just typed intone, which one should the IDE select? ;) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

This is a problem I have with VA at work - our class library includes try/catch wrappers which specify a HRESULT called hResult. Every time I type hResult, it turns it all to capitals, as it does not expand the macro and see the variable name. If VB is not case sensitive ( and how gay is THAT ? ), then the IDE isn't doing any case correction at all, it's simply ignoring it - right ?

I know, thanks, I just had not reinstalled it just yet after all the hassles I had getting .NET installed at all. Intellisense is working, Matk is a class. How gay - I have to type Math.Min when I want to min something ? I suppose I could type Math m; m.Min, but it still sucks. C# is pretty cool though, but I need to do some testing. I am convering an image library I wrote using GDI+ in C++ and I think initially it is orders of magnitude slower doing exactly the same thing as the C++ code I wrote prior.

Until you get used to it, there doesn't seem to be any reason for case to matter; why would you want a variable named
fooandFoo? Once you're used to it you quickly realize that (according to my style)foois protected andFoois public. When I coded in VB since case matter I prefixed private members with _.

Okay, I know I will get flamed for this, but why prefix private members with anything? I dont expose variables publically, but use property methods that are public, so I never have public variables. As for private methods, why would you prefix them at all? :confused: -- David Wengier Sonork ID: 100.14177 - Ch00k

oops, guess I shouldn't be replying to messages after I wake up from sleeping on a long ride home. I should have said private variables; because in many cases in my code a private variable would have a public get or get/set property defined for it.

Funny how I lile the fact that I have to type in the class name first and then it's method to use it, while you think it is naff. I guess I like the structure of it, it helps to structure the app in my head better than if all I had to type was Min. Just FYI, and you probably do know this, you can instead of doing

I dunno what VB offers, but in C++, math is a library which provides these functions, so I am just used to the language offering maths facilities without the need for my code to be full of Math.

I hate macros, but the inline keyword is a suggestion which the compiler is free to ignore, so a macro is the best way of knowing for sure the code is running in place.
