Hello Again?!! Why do you insist on making it in a recursive call?? One line of code is enough: ArrayList MyArrayList = new ArrayList(a); If you insist, you can check if the ArrayList is already initialized before reinitializing it: ArrayList alist; static ArrayList Permute(int[] a, int start, int finish) { if(alist.Count == 0) alist = new ArrayList() alist.Add(1); alist.Add(2); if(start != finish) Permute(a, start+1, finish) return alist; } but I'm sure there is a much better way of doing whatever you are trying to do!! Please post more details about what you are trying to do, perhaps we code suggest a better approach. Regards:rose:

Hello I don't think I get what you are trying to do!! 1- If you want to make an ArraytList from your array simply ArrayList temp = new ArrayList(a); 2- If you want to swap your values you can do the same in the ArrayList instead of the array, and you don't have to make an entire method for that!! simple make a foreach loop to loop through your ArrayList in the premute method. 3- If you ant to return the ArrayList simply public ArrayList Premute(int[] a) { ArrayList MyArrayList = new ArrayList(a); //Do something with MyArrayList return MyArrayList; } Yet I don't understand you logic in swapping!! I hope that was close enough. Regards:rose:

Your implementation has several flaws. 1) You don't need two classes Tree and Node, you can merge them into one. 2) methods like AddNode(), RemoveNode() and Search() have to be public 3) the contructor of a Node/Tree should ideally have a value parameter, like Tree(int value) 4) you don't need a root node in your tree, left and right childs are enough 5) when adding/searching/removing check for < and >= and not just > and < Once you fix that, you may use it like that: Tree binTree = new Tree(5); binTree.Add(10); binTree.Add(3); There are lots of bintree examples on the internet, you can almost copy them 1 to 1, even the Java ones ;) regards

Index of what? You'll have to be alot more specific about what your trying to do. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Are you talking about when you right click on a tab setting it to focused before you "do stuff" to the tabpage. If so I was having this problem the other day and fixed it with a little workaround. '------------------------------------------------------------------------ ' A backhanded way to get the tab we clicked on ' Private Sub tabFromClick(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Dim thisTab As Integer For thisTab = 0 To Me.TabCount - 1 Dim tabRect As Rectangle = Me.GetTabRect(thisTab) If tabRect.Contains(New Point(e.X, e.Y)) Then Me.SelectedIndex = thisTab End If Next End Sub

Seriously, do you mean that you want to create a business letter "template" with VB.NET? If you have Office 2003 there is some nice integration with Visual Studio to help make this sort of thing really easy. You should find that you have a Word Project somewhere in the VB.NET projects folder. --Colin Mackay-- "In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins - not through strength but perseverance."
