if the system is having problems with a blank admin password, log in as admin (should be easy since no PW). Set an actual password and then log back in as your normal user. -- You have to explain to them [VB coders] what you mean by "typed". their first response is likely to be something like, "Of course my code is typed. Do you think i magically project it onto the screen with the power of my mind?" --- John Simmons / outlaw programmer

ImageList supports only specific number of colors and sizes which cause too many headaches. just create a List or Collection or Image[] myImageList = new Image[] {img1, img2, img3}; And then in a loop, Button.Click event or Timer.Tick event use this code: protected void UpdateImage(Image newImage) { //un-comment below lines if you are reading images from disk to prevent memory leaks //if(myPictureBox.Image != null) //{ // myPictureBox.Image.Dispose(); // myPictureBox.Image = null; //} myPictureBox.Image = newImage; } OR protected void UpdateImage(IList myImageList, int newIndex) { myPictureBox.Image = myImageList[newIndex]; } Hope this helps...

I recommend to leran how to use the debug functions in the IDE. It is very useful that you can step through the code and discuver all errors and the actual behaviour of the application

Hi Y don't you change this line of code for (int x = 0; x < anArray3; x++) to for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++) and see. Sri

Yes, keshav is right. MessageBox concept is very simple. If you want to learn your self then MSDN site and do some search there. I am ready to take you there if you need. Sr. Software Engineer Irevna, India

:) Thanks for your answers folks. I have found the solution (pardon the pun) to the problem. It seems that I had accidently typed in some code from the wrong page. X| Below I've listed my coding that works correctly. Thanks again. :-D using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using PersonNameSpace; //Added to avoid using fully qualified names namespace StudentNameSpace { public class Student : Person { private string major; private int studentId; //Default constructor public Student() : base() //no arguments sent to base constructor { major = "unknown"; studentId = 0; } //Constructor that sends arguments to base class public Student(string id, string fname, string lname, string maj, int sId) : base(id, lname, fname) //base constructor arguments { major = maj; studentId = sId; } //Read only Property for studentId public int StudentId { get { return studentId; } } //Propertiy for the major data field public string Major { get { return major; } set { major = value; } } //Overrides GetSleepAmt() method of the Person class public override int GetSleepAmt() { return 6; } //Using the base keyword, calls the overridden // GetSleepAmt() method of the Person class public int CallOverriddenGetSleepAmt() { return base.GetSleepAmt(); } } }

I was able to recheck on these type of loops and found a solution. By placing the math section after the final input I've got it to work correctly. I placed the math section in the spot shown below. :-D salesAmount = Convert.ToDouble(inValue); salesTax = salesAmount * INTEREST_RATE; Console.WriteLine("Please type in a sales amount."); inValue = Console.ReadLine(); // reassigns data in inValue //to check in loop } //START math section in this area. } :cool::rose:

JMOdom wrote: What I would like to know is “Would I be better off to place the string manipulations into separate constructors, methods, or maybe lumping them all together in either one”. Placing the string manipulation within a function would make allot of since. Using a StringBuilder object would help with any processing overhead, only if your planning on calling your new function thousands of time but is still a good practice when manipulating strings. All and all it should be an efficient pig Latin creator. I'm listening but I only speak GEEK.

OK, I guess the way to do this, is to use for each to step over your array, and set up a counter for each number you want to track. There are a few ways of doing this, they would include: create a new array that has the number of elements equal to the highest number in your list, it's an array of numbers, and you set them to 0, and for example, if you find the number 5, you set newArray[5] to be one greater than it was. Create a struct like this struct numbers { int value; int times; } Then, you create an array of these structs and you find the right one to increment times by. ( the next one is the best ) Dictionary<int, int> times = new Dictionary<int, int>(); // A dictionary is an associative array, we are using numbers, but we can store anything foreach(int n in numbers) { if (!times.KeyExists(n)) { // Add a key to the dictionary times[n] = 0; } ++times[n]; } Then you can iterate over the keys and use the values to see how many times each one exists. I suspect this is homework. If it is, then you should do some reading on how the dictionary container works, so you fully understand it. Otherwise, you won't be able to turn the above into code that fully works, nor will you be able to withstand the scrutiny of your teacher when she asks why you did it this way. -- modified at 18:59 Monday 2nd April, 2007 Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog "I am working on a project that will convert a FORTRAN code to corresponding C++ code.I am not aware of FORTRAN syntax" ( spotted in the C++/CLI forum )

:-D Thanks folks. I'll be trying the various solutions to see which gives me the best results. :-O As I'm new at this, and in a learning mode, sometimes I find that you learn more from how not to do something than from how to do it. :doh: Thanks again for your time and efforts. They are all appreciated. :cool::rose:

To add to what Christian told you, you will have to change the return type from void to whatever a and b are. Cheers, Vikram. The cold will freeze our stares We won't care...

Learning is a never ending process of Life. :rolleyes: That's one statement I can't argue with. I expect that the last thing I learn in this life is what it is like to die. (Morbid, Huh?) :omg:

You are really getting what you want here. What you need to do is ponder the error message for just a minute. Once you get used to *thinking* (relatively hard I suppose) about what messages express, you can interpret them relatively easily. Get used to thinking hard if you want to write software. You are going to have to develop cleaner thinking habits than "normal" people. ("Dirty thinking people,' in C# nomenclature.) :-) The message tells you what your declaration is, and it is trying to tell you (no more cryptically than practical) how your declaration errs. You have declared "Exer10Ch4.SchoolFigures.DetermineName(string)" The term "body" must refer to a pair of braces {}. I had to figure that out myself as well (as I haven't got such an error in a long long while). So, what the error is saying that if your declaration doesn't have a body, it must refer to an external declaration somewhere, for which case you have to declare it with the extern keyword: extern Exer10Ch4.SchoolFigures.DetermineName(string); This probably isn't the error (but possibly it is). The compiler is telling you that it would also accept this statement if it were marked as abstract: abstract Exer10Ch4.SchoolFigures.DetermineName(string); The other condition it is telling you it would accept is that you declare a body: Exer10Ch4.SchoolFigures.DetermineName(string) { } The compiler is trying (all it can, really) to help you be a clean thinking person. You need to pay attention to the rules of the core language to interpret the message (easily, and cleanly). :cool:

You know, for my money, the Troelsen book "Pro C# 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Platform" (ISBN 1-59059-419-3), published by Apress, is a good investment particularly if you pick things up quickly. It is a thick book but very well written. Have fun, Matt

:)Thanks for the answers folks. Sorry I got into the area. All I can say is that I'm very new at this. The answers given have helped greatly. Thanks again.:rose::cool:

JMOdom wrote: int firstNum, secondNum; DetermineNumberSum(firstNum, secondNum); No, this cannot work. You need to assign values to firstNum and secondNum, OR use them as out parameters. You try to use them BEFORE using them as out parameters, and you didn't give them values to start with, which is always bad programming. You should also create one variable per line, for readability.
