Here is an example from a button control that I created. The drop-down arrow is represented by the number 6 in the Marlett font. System.Drawing.Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics(); System.Drawing.Font font = new System.Drawing.Font("Marlett", this.Font.Size); System.Drawing.SizeF sizeF = g.MeasureString("6", font); Brush brush = Enabled ? SystemBrushes.ControlText : new SolidBrush(SystemColors.GrayText); g.DrawString("6", font, brush, Width - 4 - sizeF.Width, (Height - sizeF.Height) / 2.0f); Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about about mission statements. -- Peter Gibbons

There are couple problems with this. 1. You cannot have public ItemType DataSource property as DataSource is name of the class 2. C# does supports generic methods, but not generic constructors. You can write your code like: public interface StatefulObjectBase { } public class DataSource where ItemType : StatefulObjectBase { public ItemType TheDataSource { get { return default(ItemType); } } public void Show() { DisplayForm f = new DisplayForm(); f.Show(this); } } public class DisplayForm { public DisplayForm() { } public void Show(DataSource source) where ItemType : StatefulObjectBase { } }

Hi David. w.r.to, the code sample,,,, class B : A { new int Foo () { return 2; } static void Main () {System.Console.WriteLine (new C ().Foo ()); } } This is an apt example for Hiding Methods. The statement 'new int Foo () { return 2; }' in Class B , informs the compiler that the base class member has been hidden and hence it continues executing the method in B. w.r.to the statement, If B didn't define a Foo() method, it would output 1....check out it would output only '3'. I hope is this what you wanted to clarify. regards, Manivannan.P

In case anyone cares: // Create a variable, but from the inherited class, not this base class Type\[\] tNested = this.GetType().GetNestedTypes(System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic); object rt = null; foreach (Type t in tNested) { rt = Activator.CreateInstance(t); break; } -- Dave

Umm... doing it with replace is may be a bad idea unless you're careful about escaping and formatting your parameters correctly (sql injection attacks can't happen if you use parameterized queries). Are you sure the parameters could appear in any order? Regards, Rob -- RMTrack a new bug tracking tool. Available now from http://www.rmtrack.com

I use it rather too much, i run a small irc network of about 60 users, mostly gaming releated but lots of general chat aswell. I send to stay away from mIRC script if i can, i prefer to write plugin DLL's for it instead.

David Wengier wrote: I guess the first question is can you do either of these C# has overloaded the += and -= operators for events so that you can add and remove event handlers at runtime. This is also the only way that C# lets you add event handlers. The AddHandler statement that you see in VB is VB specific and is part of the VB.NET language. However if you can get access to the underlying EventHandlerList there is an AddHandler method on that you can use. An Events property of type EventHandlerList is exposed on the System.ComponentModel.Component class and its derivatives as well as the System.Web.UI.Control class. David Wengier wrote: Are there things that one does that the other doesnt? VB lets you assign events with the Handles keyword; it is also easier to do Late Binding with VB but you can accomplish the same with some Reflection in C# (or any .NET language). C# lets you overload operators, and create/use indexers (a property on a class so that you can treat an instance of the class like an array ie foo[3]). Someone on the DOTNET list noticed that the IL that VB.NET produces has a lot of NOPs in its code generation. While it makes the IL a little bit bigger the JIT will compile those away to nothing.
