Thank you for your rational response. You bring up a difficult point that I have often wondered about myself and is extremely difficult to answer. The following link discusses the question of light from distant stars from a creationist perspective http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs/405.asp[^] I think the underlying question is what is the basis of truth. As a Christian, if there appears to be a conflict between what I believe the Bible teaches and scientific theories, I should examine both critically. Scientists have been wrong, and Bible interpreters have been wrong.

Actually, according to the Bible Noah's ark was 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. I would not call that a tiny little boat. All I have seen in this thread is straw man arguments and name calling.

We are looking at purchasing a code profiler, particularly for finding performance bottlenecks. We were looking at ANTS profiler from RedGate. Any recommendations?

try searching fair to middling, you will find results. Here is one: http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-fai4.htm[^]

That helped. I had to tinker with it a bit more, but it is working now. Thanks

I have bound a DataTable to a DataGrid: _ds = new System.Data.DataSet("ResultsDataSet"); _resultsTable = new System.Data.DataTable( "ResultsTable" ); _ds.Tables.Add( _resultsTable ); dataGridResults.SetDataBinding(_ds,"ResultsTable"); When the user clicks on a row, I want to get information about that row: System.Data.DataRow currRow = _resultsTable.Rows[dataGridResults.CurrentRowIndex]; This works fine until I sort the DataGrid by clicking on the column headers. Now the dataGridResults.CurrentRowIndex is out of sync with the _resultsTable. I either need to have the DataTable sort with the DataGrid, or be able to get information directly from the DataGrid. Am I doing something wrong, or do I need to add something?

Raise a message in the control that the parent form handles.

Here is some code used in a paint event. If it is not in an event with PaintEventArgs you will need to get a Graphics object in another way. private void Image_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) { Rectangle selRect = new Rectangle(0,0,0,0); Graphics selGraphics = null; int lineThickness = 2; selGraphics = e.Graphics; selRect.X = 10; selRect.Y = 10; selRect.Width=50; selRect.Height=50; Pen selPen = new Pen(Color.Black, lineThickness); selGraphics.DrawRectangle(selPen, selRect); }

I am trying to copy a metafile into a Word document, and then set its location on the page. It pastes it alright, but I get an error that the "object is not valid" when I try to change the location. I think I am not properly getting ahold of the shape that has been pasted, but I do not know where the problem is. Here is the code: object oEnd = "\\endofdoc"; oRange = oDoc.Bookmarks.Item(ref oEnd).Range; object pasteDataType = Word.WdPasteDataType.wdPasteMetafilePicture; oRange.PasteSpecial(ref oMissing,ref oFalse,ref oMissing, ref oFalse, ref pasteDataType, ref oMissing, ref oMissing); oRange = oWord.Selection.Range; oShapeRange = oRange.ShapeRange; oShapeRange.Left = xLoc; oShapeRange.Top = yLoc; oShapeRange.Width = xSize; oShapeRange.Height = ySize;

I need to create a Bitmap of a datagrid. Is there a way to do this?

This quote by Jesus is telling us how to interact with people, it is not telling us how the government should enforce laws. I can forgive someone who commits a crime against me, and they can still go to jail. One has to do with my relationship with that person.. how I think about them and treat them, the other has to do with how society maintains order.

When you do MessageBox.Show, the first parameter is the text to display in the box, the second parameter can be a string that will display as the name. Is that what you are looking for?

Closing the stream is working for me. Thanks

I tried using the Filestream and closing it after creating the bitmap. It is working. Why must the stream remain open?

I read a bitmap from file with the following code: Bitmap tempBitmap = new Bitmap(bitmapFileName); Later I want to save an updated version of the bitmap with this code: if (System.IO.File.Exists(bitmapFileName) System.IO.File.Delete(bitmapFileName); tempBitmap.Save(bitmapFileName); Unfortunately, when it gets to the delete, I get the following error: "System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file "filename.bmp" because it is being used by another process." The creation of the bitmap from file is holding on to the connection. I tried cloning and copying to the clipboard, but the only way I have been able to get this to work is by copying all my bitmaps to temp files and opening from the temp file. Then the file I delete and save to is a different file. I am hoping there is a better way.
