Interests
Programming! Music and video games.
PC Specs
Dell Studio 17 laptop running Windows 7, plenty powerful enough for my needs.

In VBA, there is/was an ActiveCell.Offset method, but it was more complicated than that. It would be ActiveCell.Offset(rowcount, columncount).Range("A1").Select. The "A1" was sort of like a grounding value, giving it the proper frame of reference. That may or may not be proper description for it, but I knew whenever I …

Here's a way of doing it. It involves creating a public function to update the list data in your main form, and creating a constructor overload in the second form to accept a parameter of the type of the main form. Then on a button click event on the second …

You should probably look at writing a web service. Create the service on your website, add a reference to it in your offline project (it will generate the proxy classes you need), and then you can interact with it. Here's a sample web service implementation: [CODE] using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; …

Here is a method to read it using LINQ to XML (System.Xml.Linq). This will create an IEnumerable(of T), where T is an anonymous type.

You can use reflection to load an assembly at runtime. Consider this code compiled into Foo.dll [CODE] namespace Foo { public class Bar { public string Blah() { return "Blah"; } } } [/CODE] And then in another program [CODE] using System; using System.Reflection; class Program { static void Main(string[] …

This is the first I've heard of this, but stackoverflow says it happens when you use the publish utility within Visual Studio. I have no idea if that's true or not.

I don't know how applicable this may be, but it's interesting nonetheless. Here's an article on using GDI+ and doing color transformations with a matrix of floats. [url]http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/C-Sharp/Performing-Color-Transformation-Operations-in-Csharp-GDIplus/[/url] I also don't know of any (other) methods to tweak colors besides, as you said, simply messing with the RGB values.

My algorithm below is similar to what slogfilet suggested: I consider using anything beyond the square root of the integer candidate to be redundant and a waste of time to use as a test divisor. I'm not accepting user input, nor am I writing the prime numbers to the screen, …

DataGrids, Repeaters, etc., do not have to be used with database connections, they can be bound with other collections. Take this example: [CODE] <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server"> <title></title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <asp:DataGrid …

Your assumption is correct. [CODE]StringBuilder[] empDetails = new StringBuilder[100];[/CODE] This line establishes an array of StringBuilder references, but you still need to create instances of objects for each array element (*or at least any element you intend to actually use). [CODE] for (int i = 0; i < empDetails.Length; i++) …

1) Don't assume the input should be an integer. If you want to calculate the number of coins required, you should allow for dollars [I]and[/I] cents. Use a [ICODE]double[/ICODE] or [ICODE]decimal[/ICODE] data type instead. 2) For validation, use the .TryParse(string input, out result) method. The method itself returns a bool, …

I had a Mazda Protege once. It was a good little car; it had 225,000 miles on it when I traded it in towards a new car a few years ago. This was a 1994 Protege, so I can't attest to current quality, but that one served me well.
