It's worth noting that, at least in C, any time the value of a variable is read the compiler is required to generate a read instruction [i]even if the value is ignored[/i]. On hardware platforms with memory-mapped I/O (very rare for the X86, but common with microcontrollers) reads certain addresses will trigger various effects. For example, on some machines reading the lower byte of a multi-byte hardware counter will latch the read registers for all bytes; even if code is only interested in the upper bytes of the counter, it may have to read the lower byte to trigger the latch. Even though such hardware is rare in the PC world, accessing a memory location while ignoring the value may have two potentially-useful effects: -1- Forcing the page containing that location to be loaded into memory. -2- Validating the address as pointing to something accessible. Most programs won't worry about #1, but in some cases it may be good to minimize the likelihood of a page fault occurring while a resource is held. Pre-accessing a memory location before acquiring the resource may be helpful; even though there'd be no guarantee the page holding the location wouldn't get swapped out before it was actually used, the likelihood of a page fault occurring before the resource was allocated would be reduced.

If you are looking for writing virtual indexer and overriding in a derived class, here you go. ref class BaseClass { public: property int Index[int] { virtual int get(int index) { Console::WriteLine("Base class get()"); return 0; } } }; ref class DerivedClass : public BaseClass { public: property int Index[int] { virtual int get(int index) override { Console::WriteLine("Derived class get()"); return 0; } } }; int main() { BaseClass^ b = gcnew DerivedClass(); int a = b->Index[10]; return 0; } Like in standard C++, implicit overriding is not supported in C++/CLI. You have to explicitly specify it with override keyword. :) Navaneeth How to use google | Ask smart questions

I'm assuming by "setting them to large icon" you changed the View property of the listview? Is that right? How big are the icons you are using? 16x16? If that's the case, you may have to use bigger icons than 16x16.

It's a simple implementation of a RichTextBox control. It's not meant to be something like Word. If you wanted more complex functionality, it would require a more complex implementation, like a 3rd party control or something you write yourself.

You're post should be in the VB forum. And I'm no RichTextBox genius, but I seem to recall a loooot of tutorials and references that do it the way you describe, so it might just well be that bad... gluck! Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you? public object moo { __get { return moo; } __set { moo = value; } }

If I understand you correctly, this may solve your problem. This is how I did it on a project I'm currently working on. Show your toolbox in VS. Right click on the toolbox, and select the Choose Items... menu option. A dialog now shows that is titled "Choose Toolbox Items". Click browse, find the DLL or EXE your user control is in, and click OK. The list that is under the .NET Framework Components tab should now list all User Controls that DLL or EXE contained. Make sure that the checkbox next to the user control you want to put on your form is checked, then click OK. The "Choose Toolbox Items" dialog goes away, and your User Control is added to the currently selected tab in your toolbox (doesn't look like a tab, but that is what the context menu calls them) You should now be able to drop that user control on your form. BTW, I use VS2005, so I'm not sure if its the same for VS2003. HTH.

Are you talking about a Windows Service or a Web Service? If it is a Windows Service, did you give the service a unique name? Did you examine the install log for errors?

No, the tasklist does not list the program under it. I am definitely installing the programming as a service (or trying) as it does the whole, commit phase sucessful, etc. Other ideas? Did I post well? Rate it! Did I post badly? Rate that too!

1. Have a header.asp (or whatever scripting language you are using) and a footer.asp that contain the (amazingly enough) page headers and footers. Include them on every page. Siteside changes are a matter of changing one file. 2. Have a stylesheet.css (name it whatever you want) and reference it in every page html header (the [head] [/head] area NOT the page header from 1. above).

All the exceptions you have in the catch blocks do seem to have been derived from Exception. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/directx9_m/directx/ref/ns/microsoft.directx.directinput/c/inputexception/inputexception.asp[^] says that Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput.InputException derives from DirectXException which in turn derives from ApplicationException. ApplicationException is a FCL class that derives from System.Exception. Maybe you're missing something else? Regards Senthil _____________________________ My Blog | My Articles | WinMacro

Jagged arrays is simply an array of arrays, while a multidimensional array is truly one array with multiple dimensions. Jagged arrays can have different dimensions for each row in the first dimension, for eg, whereas multidimensional arrays always have the same number of dimensions. int [][] x = new int[2][]; x[0] = new int[5]; // First row has 5 columns x[1] = new int[10];// Second row has 10 ... int [,]x = new int[2,10]; // both rows have 10 columns.

Databases are set based systems, therefore there is no concept of the "top of [the] table". However, clustered indexes mean that even although there is no logical concept there is a physical structure in place which will put a row at the top of the table. So, perhaps what you needing to do is to create a clustered index on the column that you want to determine the sequence of the rows. However, you need to be careful as this will be the order that the rows are physically stored. Clustered indexes do not work so well if the column values are not unique as any searches will have to resort to a sequential search if there are duplicate values. Alternatively, if all you need is a specific order, for example display purposes, then what you need to do is to create a new column to store some sort of virtual row number, you can then assign a number to it indicating the row's position in the table. When you need to have the rows being returned in a certain sequence you can use the ORDER BY clause on the SELECT statement to return the rows in the order you need. Does this help?
