Good suggestion! I'll give it a try, thanks! jaspe

Hey it worked! Thanks! jaspe

I'm trying to parse a text file using the .readline() method of streamreader. My problem is that my code (below) won't work with text files that have blank lines. It thinks this is an 'end of the file' statement. Is there something else i can test in the conditional statement besides "Do until strLine = Nothing" so that i can read even a blank line and read the file straight through to the 'real' end of file? --------------------------- strLine = srdCurrent.ReadLine() Do Until strLine = Nothing strFile += strLine & CrLf strLine = srdCurrent.ReadLine() Loop ----------------------------

Thanks!

Can someone point me to a 'good' site that outlines good naming conventions for objects and variables etc. for both c# and VB? Preferably a microsoft site. Doing a search for this brings up nothing substantial. Thanks! SN

Now i am a little confused.... "...at any time you can go into your project's properties and set 'Use Managed Extensions' to YES..." As you posted earlier, i need to set 'Use Managed Extensions' to YES, but here you also say they are the .Net BCL. If so wouldn't i NOT want to use Managed Extensions? I'm being fussy i know... I just want to be sure i understand! :) SN

Newbie question here... I am learning c++ and following through the code from a book - which recommends using Microsoft VC++ 7.0. The book stresses that it does not use the .net framework. My question is can i use VS 2003 (.net) to create a "NON"-.net application? Would this be a "Win32 App" in visual studio? help? Thanks. SN

I will eventually be shopping around for a web host for a website i'm working on and developing in .net. My question is (being a newbie to asp.net) when you build an asp.net web application it creates .dll files in the /bin/ folder. My experience with other non-dotnet hosting companies is that they do not allow .dll's on the server. How do others get around this? I imagine you could just not compile the application and run from scripts?!?? Though this would seem to be not the best solution and i'm sure alot of developers wouldn't want this. Any ideas/thoughts on this? Thanks. SN

Every once in a while i come across websites that hide their extensions, and have 'different' ways of expressing parameters to a URL than what i'm used to. E.g. "www.somedomain.com/38896O51d93b015ef98a0b/play?g=1668370" or "www.somedomain.com/iyt.dll?a?s=1&g=15300019557591&m=13" First question: Is the purpose of this to help prevent hacking? That is if the hacker doesn't know what technology is being used it is harder to hack?!!? Or is there another reason? Second question: How can i do this?
