Ohh that makes my brain hurt. He uses arrays but cant pass an array. Either the language limits passing arrays or he is a moron. Let me just assume the answer to that and we will move on :) Brad Barnhill

While we're all dragging out our ocean navigation knowledge... David Skelly wrote: a nautical mile is defined as one minute of arc around the Earth's circumference It's worth highlighting that this works at the equator and along meridians, but is not accurate if you are traveling east/west along say 45 degrees north lattitude. Another reason this calculation probably isn't going to be accurate is that the shortest distance between two points is an arc. The further you get from the equator the more curve there is in that arc. Of course if they are just trying to locate stores within 50 miles of your location, their math is probably good enough...

I can second that. I am using IE7 and it's a grey background, black text. Very hard to read. The code snippets show up OK, with a white background. EDIT: Just tried it in FF3 and it's a white background. In IE7 there is a background image showing which is sort of a dark greyish colour. In FF3 that image is not displayed, so you only see the default browser back colour (i.e. a plain white background). It looks like some problem with the CSS file that defines the class for the box where you are showing your text. IE likes it, FF doesn't. Welcome to the world of cross-browser support.

Hey, I'm aware of that, but don't want to go construct my own titlebar, borders and WindowState buttons myself. The approach would be viable if there was an easy way to get all those things onto my window by using some native properties or so, but I guess that's not possible. Cheers!

I have looked high and low trying to name .NET threads, and came up with nothing. My logging tends to show a 2-hex-digit managed thread ID (except " " for the main tread), that's the best I have; the only alternative I see is with a map, say a Dictionary<int,string> as Eddy suggested. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Hey, That's a very interesting lib! Can't find any integral calculation in it though. And no goniometry. Anybody know other, similar libs out there? Cheers! Jeroen De Dauw --- Forums ; Blog ; Wiki --- 70 72 6F 67 72 61 6D 6D 69 6E 67 20 34 20 6C 69 66 65!

But the code works so well! :) This statement is false.
