powerList = new string[256] {"..." };
powerIndex = new string[30] {"..." };
typeIt = new int[256] { 1, ..., 2 };

am I not doing exactly what it says in MSDN? <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa288453(VS.71).aspx">msdn

string[] names = new string[] {"Matt", "Joanne", "Robert"};

i swear for each stupid mistake I bring you guys, I fix a lot of them on my own...

I think I found the MSDN page to add text, but I need to clear it first.

listBox1.Items.Add(((TextBox)sender).Text);

this is declared inside of the Form1 class in a Windows Form Document c#, VS2008

protected void loadSTPage()
{
character temp = new character();

what am I doing wrong?

yeah fixed. thanks. getting better at getting bugs fixed using MSDN search. hopefully keep the stupid shit to a minimum.

i'm teaching myself c#. i got through polymophism, pointers, linked lists, and data structures in C++ in college decades ago. however, I'm spacing on the easy shit it seems. Can someone help me out?

using System;
...
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication4
{
...

public class character
{
protected Hashtable charSheet = new Hashtable();
protected Hashtable mutantStats = new Hashtable();
protected Hashtable mutantPower = new Hashtable();

        public void character()
        {
            charSheet.Add("Name", "");
            ...
            mutantStats.Add("Tactics", "");
        }
        public void character(string nm,int xp,int lvl,int str,int dex,int sta,int spe,int hea,int soa,int def)
        {
            charSheet.Add("Name", nm);
            ...
            mutantStats.Add("Defense", "");
        }
        
        // constructors

      ...

i had forgotten that I was trying to build it using a template of sample code I was working with... so I started again...

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication4
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
public class character
{
protected Hashtable charSheet = new Hashtable();
protected Hashtable calcSheet = new Hashtable();
protected Hashtable mutantStats = new Hashtable();
protected Hashtable mutantPowers = new Hashtable();
public character()
{
}
charSheet.Add("Name","")
...
charSheet.Add("Money", "");
}
}

I still do not see what I'm doing. why won't it let me make a hashtable in the class character when it's apart of the namespace with System.Container ?

lol. I learned oop over ten years ago on C++ before the ansi iso standard and just now trying to get back into it... thanks for the help tho.

I created a project using .NET Framework 3.0 before I downloaded 3.5... using C# on Visual Studio 08 Creating a windows program, a basic forms program I have the following: using System; using System.Collections; namespace Zombie_Zombie_Zombie { partial class Form1 { protected override void Dispose(bool disposing) { if (disposing && (components != null)) { components.Dispose(); } base.Dispose(disposing); } #region Windows Form Designer generated code private void InitializeComponent() { this.tabControl1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TabControl(); ... private System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox outputRichText; private System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel linkLabel14; class character { protected Hashtable charSheet = new Hashtable(); protected Hashtable calcSheet = new Hashtable(); protected Hashtable mutantStats = new Hashtable(); protected Hashtable mutantPowers = new Hashtable(); // charSheet is the base character sheet with user modifiable values // calcSheet are the values after calculations... Strength plus Melee plus Sword // non user modifiable // mutantStats are the mutant powers that directly affect the base stats, and are added // into calcSheet charSheet.Add("Name","") ... charSheet.Add("Money", ""); } } } Now I'm using this because that's the syntax given here: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.collections.hashtable.aspx">MSDN Hashtable Class (System.Collections) I had originally tried charSheet["Name"] = ""; because I was using Beginning C# Game Programming page 105 on Hashtables. This is the error code I get: Error 1 Invalid token '(' in class, struct, or interface member declaration C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Zombie Zombie Zombie\Zombie Zombie Zombie\Form1.Designer.cs 499 26 Zombie Zombie Zombie ...
