Re: An exception thrown that I can't figure out how to fix

Thank you all for your responses. Although my question per se was not answered you all responded with reasons as to why it was basically unanswerable. Iknow..."there aint no free lunch" so stay away from the freebies. However I did pay for Sams "Learn C# in 21 Days" and got essentially the same thing. If anyone can suggest a good learning source I would greatly appreciate it. I started programing in GW Basic in 1985 and progressed from there to QB45 and did well enough to produce some quite usable programs including a construction survey layout program which saw a lot of use. That was in 1995 and I haven't done any programming since. I now want to learn and be able to program in C# but have obviously approached it from the wrong direction. If it wasn't for people like you I wouldn't have made it this far. Again, thanks for all your responses.

Darrall, check out Wrox Press[^]. I've found them to be consistently excellent in all their programming texts. Right now I'm using Professional C# 2005 with .NET 3.0 as a reference while I'm trying to learn, and it's excellent, if a little dated. I should update it, but it can't have changed too much in just a couple of years. By the way, as a tip from someone who throws away more books each year than most people read in ten years, any book with "... Essentials" or "... in 21 Days" in the title is crap. Just a rule of thumb, but I've never seen an exception.
