Apologies for the shouting but this is important.
When answering a question please:
- Read the question carefully
- Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar
- If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or mark it down. Insults are not welcome
- If the question is inappropriate then click the 'vote to remove message' button
Insults, slap-downs and sarcasm aren't welcome. Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid..

For those new to message boards please try to follow a few simple rules when posting your question.- Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears.
- Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
- Keep the subject line brief, but descriptive. eg "File Serialization problem"
- Keep the question as brief as possible. If you have to include code, include the smallest snippet of code you can.
- Be careful when including code that you haven't made a typo. Typing mistakes can become the focal point instead of the actual question you asked.
- Do not remove or empty a message if others have replied. Keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read. If your problem was answered then edit your message and add "[Solved]" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
- If you are posting source code with your question, place it inside <pre></pre> tags. We advise you also check the "Encode "<" (and other HTML) characters when pasting" checkbox before pasting anything inside the PRE block, and make sure "Use HTML in this post" check box is checked.
- Be courteous and DON'T SHOUT. Everyone here helps because they enjoy helping others, not because it's their job.
- Please do not post links to your question into an unrelated forum such as the lounge. It will be deleted. Likewise, do not post the same question in more than one forum.
- Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards. Doing so will get you kicked off and banned. Play nice.
- If you have a school or university assignment, assume that your teacher or lecturer is also reading these forums.
- No advertising or soliciting.
- We reserve the right to move your posts to a more appropriate forum or to delete anything deemed inappropriate or illegal.
cheers,

What is your basis for merge? Also, how is the visual representation different from underlying data source?
The control does not directly give options to merge. You will need to override the Paint event for the control and then show/hide borders.

I purchased a Bosch BNO055 multifunction sensor USB stick. I believe I need to add it to the appxmanifest file manually. I don't know where/how to find the correct DeviceID and Function Type values to enter into the xml elements. The driver that I downloaded does not seem to offer any hints and I am not fluent in C++.
If anyone has experience with this type of unit I would like to benefit from your experience.

1. plug the device into the PC.
2. Open Device Manager
3. Right-click the device and choose properties. I think you can find the Device ID there.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I'm currently using C++ Builder and I'm only doing console programming at the moment. But eventually I will move forward into making some Windows programs. One program I'd like to write is a test. I'd like to make a psychology test. This will have about 10 questions. Either just true or false or maybe I'll decide they will be multiple choice.
My question is which language and IDE do you think would be easier to get this done? Visual Studio using C# or Embarcadero C++ Builder?
I can't seem to come to a conclusion myself so here I ask.

That isn't up to us: only you can make that decision.
Why? Because we have no idea how competent you are in either of those languages. Me? I'd probably be faster in C# because I use it more these days. Some other members will reverse that, because they use C++ more often so are more comfortable using that.
Pick the language you know best, and you'll probably have made the right decision.

In addition to OriginalGriff's comments, Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition (which is free) is an ideal IDE. Furthermore is supports Windows application building in C, C++, C#, VB.NET etc., and Web development in ASP.NET. So choose the language that you are most experienced with and use Visual Studio as the IDE.

Most languages know the concept of a "loop". So, the language to use is not determined by the amount of questions.
I'd say Visual Basic is the way to go. Lots of examples out there, including psychology tests.

With a C++ background!!! I would have thought c# would be the best platform to learn and there are many more examples on the interweb that VB.net (one of the reasons I moved from VB.Net).

Question 1: What possessed you to choose Visual Basic?

Everone knows that C# is better for 11 questions or more. For 10 and lower, we use VB.

I'm not a beginner by any means. I done a lot of console programming. I will probably use a console program as a prototype for the Windows version.
But you're right. Either language will work just fine.

Don't use a console program as a prototype: the two operate completely differently. The console is functional programming, where the app determines what is to happen at any time. The Windows version is event driven, where the user (and to an extent the data) determines what is to happen when. Trying to write a windows program as if it was a console app will not work at all well.

I'd recommend Windows Forms / C#: you have a great IDE, Visual Studio, all the essentials for single-inheritance OOP (with Interfaces to kind-of implement multiple inheritance), and a time-tested (albeit quirky) set of useful controls ... and the ability to create custom controls, or controls that inherit from (and modify) the native controls.
I think that once you get going with these tools, you'll feel like your days in console programming were a jail sentence
cheers, Bill

Well, in my opinion, you would find it easier to prototype things with C#, you could always port your code to C++ or even C if you need to for optomization reasons. Visual Studio can be downloaded for free, though it doesn't have all the useful libraries to make absolutely everything easier. If you go with Winforms at first you will not have to do any ASP.NET back-coding for the GUI, that can save a lot of time.
The reason I suggest C# is that it is Strongly Typed and Type Safe making it much easier to debug than a language like Java.

Well, first of all hello to everyone reading my question.
Question:
I am supposed to write a program in console version of c# in vs2015 for training purposes, this is the app (Class Score Average Calculator):
Code an app that grabs score and its multiply and shows the average.
ex.
score 19 multiply 2 and 2nd Score 18 | multiply 1
Average = ( (19*2)+(18*1) ) / (2+1)
Average = ( (Score1*Mul1) + (Score2*Mul2) + .... + (Score n.Mul n)) / (Sum of Multiplies)
****problem , there is no limit to the course scores (The user can input like 50 scores)

And how would that cause a problem? Most programs accept an undefined number of inputsL a Word document can hold any number of pages, this forum can hold any number of posts, etc.
You have to create a loop to accept and process some input, and a convention as to how you signify the end of the input. In this case (console app not having menus and mouse input) you could use a convention such as "multiplicity zero signals the end" and hence causes the loop to be exited.
If you need all the data before you can start your calculations, then you also need an "elastic" data structure to hold the inputs (a List could do). Are you sure a simple average can only be calculated once all the data is available? look at your formula...

THAT IS exactly the challenge i am running into, defining new holders everytime the loop runs and put them automatically in formula
I guess this is something really high level for me as a rookie programmer

Just to add to what Luc said: We do not do your homework: it is set for a reason. It is there so that you think about what you have been told, and try to understand it. It is also there so that your tutor can identify areas where you are weak, and focus more attention on remedial action.
Start by concentrating on two things: The lack of a limit, and the input of numbers. The first - as Luc suggests - is handled with a List<T> List(T) Class (System.Collections.Generic)[^], by asking the user how many entries he wants and allocating an array big enough, or by using a "running total" and a count. The second is just a case of using the appropriate TryParse method to convert a string to an integer or floating point value.
Try it yourself, you may find it is not as difficult as you think!
If you meet a specific problem, then please ask about that and we will do our best to help. But we aren't going to do it all for you!
