I'm not faulting you for it; it was just my way of saying I don't know without actually saying it

Does it also automatically set the values to 1, 2, 4, 8, 16... ?
I don't think so, and a quick test confirms that it doesn't. It would have been a nice feature; but I think in the face of consistancy it is a good thing that it doesn't.

Oh. So I need to do that manually ? Does the flag just allow an instance of the enum to be any value then, not just the ones defined ?

Yep

It allows any value, just like any other enum.
If you look at the IL for an enum, it is essentially a special type of class. Here is some code that is somewhat equivalent.
[Flags]
public enum TestE
{
ItemA = 1,
ItemB = 2,
ItemC = 4
}
public sealed class TestE : System.Enum
{
public const int ItemA = 1;
public const int ItemB = 2;
public const int ItemC = 4;
public int value__;
}A little bit of 'magic' is employed when assigning and retreiving the values in that referring to the value__ field isn't necessary. Essentially an enum is a strongly named collection of (compile-time) constant values.
Obviously a bit more magic is employed so that values can be cast willy-nilly to an enum type and add support for the Enum.Parse method.

So as far as values are concerned, an enum is still essentially an int ?

an int, byte, short, long, ... whatever you declare it to be; by default it is an int.
public enum FooBarBaz : <datatype>

add the Flags attribute to your enum, and your property can be the enum type.

I've recently been pointed in the direction of RegExps for string replacement.
However, being new to both C# and RegExps, and Escape characters are giving me fits!
I've got got to remove the following characters from a string (not including the double quotes)
"`!@$%^*()+=\|[]{};:<>/?,~"
I'm having an awful time trying to evaluate what needs to be "escaped", and how many times!
ugh.

"^[a-z0-9_]"
the above expression should [i think] remove all characters that are not letters, numbers or the underscore, to not remove any other chars, just add them in next to the underscore.
p.s. if you dont want to keep underscores, then remove it.

except the " char, which needs to be escaped with a double quote ala vb

Here's what I've tried:
sourceString = "123 ABC X!Y%Z}"
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(sourceString,"^[a-z0-9_]").ToString()
which results in: "1" (why only one character?)
I've also tried the suggestion:
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(sourceString,@"`!@$%^*()+=\\|[]{};:<>/?,~").ToString()
Which results in:
error: managed EE does not understand expression's syntax
Removing the @ gives a result of "" (Empty string).

im sorry, the ^ was meant to be inside the brackets, do this
string sourceString = "123 ABC X!Y%Z}";
Regex r = new Regex(@"[^a-z0-9]", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
MessageBox.Show(r.Replace(sourceString, ""));

Hi
First for Regex, Eric Gunnerson has a nice tool (although i have no clue how Regex works  ). Look on the GotDotNet.com website under user samples.
Secondly, lets solve this problem
string badchars = @"`!@$%^*()+=\|[]{};:<>/?,~";
foreach (char bad in badchars) input = input.Replace(bad.ToString(), null );
Thats it, Hope it helps

HAHA!
That was my original approach!! It was suggested that a "better way" was using RegExps.
(My example at that time was stripping "{","-", and "}" from GUIDs.
Funny how some things come full circle!
(note: I wasn't able to find Eric's tool, but there was a RegEx Workbench that might do the trick).
Thanks.

I'm a spazz. The RegEx Workbench *IS* Eric's tool.

Usually, DateTimePicker control shows the date (short date), but when you pass the value of it into a datetime type variable, it has the time too. And I found the time may varies, ( I got 8/15/2002 12:00:00 am once, and 8/15/2002 12:31:21 pm the other time). Both of them are not my computer time. Can someone tell me what is going on with the time value?

How do I make the output of my program screen size independent? I'm writing code that prints out bitmaps, a status bar, and other stuff. It looks great on my 19" screen, but when I use anything smaller, the output is cut off. Thx,
Ralf.

First off I have found that designing with a 17" monitor to help this, however you may wish to set your resolution to 1024 x 768 which I believe is considered standard resolution. You can also resize your controls when the user maximizes their screen to keep everything standard. Most standard controls also implement the dock property which will essentially bind the control onto your form so that when the form is re-sized they stay the same distance apart from each other. Here is a link to show an example clickety [^]

Greetings all!
I am new to programming .NET and, to be perfectly honest, I'm not really an experienced programmer. I'm an engineer that is going to have to be doing some development. So, I'm looking for the best resources available for learning/developing in .NET. Where do you go for on-line information, add-ons... those things that make development time easier? I've been hearing about "communities". Do you really use those and are they valuable, or do you spend more time in discussion forums like this? What are the best forums?
Any information would be valuable. I appreciate your time!
Jerry

i would suggest a good book.
if you're going to write windows-apps with C# then petzold's book is a good choice.
ASP and web-things are beyond my scope
