I've seen some articles here on design patterns, but nothing that looks down to my speed. I would like to learn about design patterns, but actually know nothing about them. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could start?

I know nothing about this, but "fractals" come to mind.

Sorry, I think you misunderstood my question. I'm not talking about graphics. I mean design patterns as in 'singleton' pattern; applying patterns to frequently encountered programming problems or situations, if I understand the concept correctly.

There are some good books on Design Patterns

Design Patterns - Addison Wesley - Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides

is one I would recommend.

I haven't read the "bible" on Design Patterns, i.e., the book by Gamma et al. However, I think you'll find Design Patterns Explained far more readable and accessible. The good thing about it is that it is problem-based, i.e., it first describes what the problem situation is and then moves step by step to design patterns.

The classic Design Patterns book is "Design Patterns" by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides. Addison Wesley.

As others have said: "Design Patterns" by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides. Addison Wesley. It is the classic. It WILL end up on your bookshelf (unless something changes programing drasticly in the very near future), so if you don't buy it now, at least start planning on buying it.

Go to your local bookstore. There are several books on the subject, some of which are an easier read than the above. I started with Design Patterns Explained (I don't recall who wrote it, and I might have the tittle a little wrong), which is an easier introduction. There are others, take your pick.

I havn't found a website that is as good as books in this case. Perhaps because design patterns are basicly enough, and change so little, that books can cover them.

I have been trying to make a 2d array of pictureboxes but it seems like a can't figuer it out.
I have been trying to do like this but it does work.

PictureBox* Array2d[][]= new PictureBox* [][];

Re: array of components 2d

This should create a 4x3 array of PictureBox objects:

PictureBox **pb = new PictureBox*[4];
for (int x = 0; x < 4; x++)
    pb[x] = new PictureBox[3];
