      So - are you meant to use telepathy? Your professor has effectively ruled out all useful constructs.

        Yeah, it's homework. I don't have a problem with trying to point him in the right direction, he was up front about it and he's not asking for a solution. It sounds messy tho.

          Cute. Considering that String IS a class under .NET, that kind of makes the assignment contradictory to itself, now doesn't it?

                    I think you need to re-read the assignment. You seem to be saying 'turn a string into a byte array without using any methods on the string class that would give you access to the contents of the string'.

                            Sure, it primes them up for writing code that never gets used because boss says otherwise, and writing something like a list class teaches the fundamentals of OOP.

                            Exactly, since they will walk out of the classroom with, hopefully sharper skillsets that can be of value to them. I've had students in the past, who earned lower than average grades thank me for increasing their skillsets, though their academic grade doesn't necessarily reflect it.

                                      I'll admit I have some code that is a maintenance nightmare, considered "job security" to a certain extent :rolleyes:

                                        how can i make my string to char[] without using any built-in classes or prepared methods, += and = or 'foreach' in C#? in an other expression, i want to (have to) write trim, insert, concat, countOf(char c) and etc without using any of methods or classes or foreach and even += or + in C#. how is that? please help, thanks.

                                        Without using the built in members of the String class, you can't access it's data.

                                        Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

                                          Why does it have to be "or"?? Why not "and"?? ;)
