It's new in .NET 2.0, but you don't really need it for the method I was showing. It just saved me the effort of making the form look pretty by hand. ;)

I don't understand. When you decrease the resolution, everything looks bigger. Are the actual relative sizes changing, or do the controls just look bigger?

It is. :) Well, not quite that easy, but it's close. In fact, the code I posted before shows the easiest way I could think of to set it up. The only thing missing is the design code for the form...

Hmm, but think of how much you must have learned from all those tries. :) Time is never wasted, even if you don't feel productive. But let's get you a jumpstart on the problem. What have you tried...

The stuff you know already is a part of system engineering. SE is the whole shebang. From start to finish, the design, implementation, and maintenance for any given 'system' or project is system...

Whatever way the system/compiler offers. :) If you just need the file sorted beforehand, I don't know of an OS that doesn't give you an easy to use sort program from the command prompt. If you need...

You never need arrays to be as big as possible 'cause there's always a way to work around painful memory drains. Since you use an old compiler, you should think like we did when we were using them....

One thing I know for sure is that I'm not smart enough to use typed datasets. They've given me so much trouble that I'm more productive when I write the underlying code for them manually. :rolleyes:...

MSDN gives example code (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.combobox.aspx) that adds items. I don't mind, but other people won't like it if you ask a question that's...

Happy to. :) Double click on the form you want to anchor the control in. To keep it simple, and to avoid accidentally double clicking on another control, just double click the title bar of your form....

It's the same way, not the same syntax. Sorry, I should have been more clear. :( The property in J# is called get_Items() to account for language details. It's always a good idea to look for...

PictureBox has an Anchor property because it inherits from Control. If it's not listed in the designer view for some reason, you can set it in the form load event in your code view. When in doubt, go...

What mistake? Is the query string what you thought it was? What happens if you print the query instead of run it and then paste it into SQL to run manually?

Ya, that's the point, more or less. :) The first thing you should do if possible is ditch the old compiler and get a newer one that's designed for your OS. That way you can error check your...

It's the same way in J#.

I'm gonna say iter isn't valid. Don't worry, I'll explain my thought process. But bear with me because it's twisted. :D You initialize iter in the Database constructor.

Database::Database()
{
...

Windows Forms apps are pretty basic. ;) The first thing you need to do is build the interface. That's just a game of dragging controls around and playing with properties until you have a good...

Do you wanna use C++ instead of PHP 'cause there's a real benefit? Or is it just 'cause you like C++ better or know it better? The likes and dislikes of the programmer usually aren't a good excuse...

The only wrong way is the one that doesn't meet your requirements. Anything else is fair game. :D

Using 2 boxes is harder, I think. You have to keep track of multiple input controls when you...

okey dokey. How much experience do you have with networking in .NET? At the very least you'll need a client/server setup, prolly something like IRC except without all of the extra the goody happy...

I was going to introduce myself. Really! I just couldn't think of what to say. I still can't, but I'll wing it as usual and see how things go. :)

Hi! My name is Aileen and I'm the "Lovely...

kk, if this is C then you use a test against '\0' to look for the end and do sumthin' like this.

int i;

for (i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++)
str[i] = (char)tolower(str[i]);

One of the few...

It's hard to say. Harder still 'cause I don't work with TableAdapters. I do my stuff by hand... :( Can you paste the GetDataBy method?

No fair! For a novice you've got your head screwed on pretty good. That's basically the same setup I was thinking of, and I can boast a few more years of .NET experience. ;)

I look forward to...

You are passing a string. What does LoginAdapter.GetDataBy look like?

The string can hold 9 characters, but there's also room for a null character at the end. Thusly, the array size is 10.

Mine or yours? :cheesy: I'm good at misunderstanding things.

It's not '0', but it is the rest of 'em. The value 0 is pretty versatile after all. ;)

'cause you still need to reserve space for the string you want to read. Sayin' &lala doesn't change the fact that lala is still a single char. It's also a bad thing because scanf assumes you reserved...

0 is 0, but 0 is not '0', and '0' is the representation of 0 that isdigit is looking for. :cheesy: Makes perfect sense, right? ;)

kk, the functions themselves are easy. Just do some such like this.

Private Function Add(lhs As Integer, rhs As Integer) As Integer
Return lhs + rhs
End Function

If you pull numbers from...

You'd sort the numbers in descending order and pick the last two. Order is cool, it makes everything easier. :) Without order you can either write a kludgy brute force algorithm, or an insanely...

It's possible, but very hard and the result won't be good at all. To decompile you need to disassemble into assembly and translate the assembly into C. If you've seen a disassembly, even a good one,...

I like Visual Studio 2005. There's an Express version that's free, but it takes some getting used to if you haven't used a powerful IDE before. Another good one is Dev-C++, but the IDE is awkward to...

Lotsa ways! What kinda chatting do you wanna do?

Hmm, you're sure that you're running bcc on both at the same time?

C:\>bcc file1.c file2.c

Unless my command line compiler skills are shot, that should work just fine. :)

You've got my respect for being able to understand those nested switches! :) I would have just used array indexing. Anyway, the problem is that you break the number down in reverse. To get it back...

Just a hunch, but try this and paste the error that you get.

/* file2.c */
#include <stdio.h>

int get_j(void);

int main()
{
extern int i;

I could use a free hug... :cheesy:

It won't test the null character. The first part of the loop expression stops it. But if isdigit did test the null character, it would return false because 0 doesn't represent a digit.

I'm prolly forgetting the name of the executable. It might be bcc16 or bcc32 as well. Check the bin directory of where you installed the compiler and you'll see it.
