Hehe... Cool!
You even got the screen shots and all... 
Voted 5 for the article of course! 
Well... I guess that now, after solving the problem, I can start coding again and compensate for all of the day time I've lost.
Another sleepless night... 
Regards,
Shy.

First step - learn C#
Second step - learn DirectX ( probably )
Third step - learn some physics
Fourth step - write the code
Your question is far too broad, all you can hope to get are broad answers. You'd do better to tell us what you do know, what you're looking to learn about, etc. Even then, really, the best way to get help is to write some code, and ask questions about specific issues.

I am curious to see if people that textspeak alot on these forums are at a computer or posting messages through a pda...

It could be just a force of habit kind of thing.

I think it's two things:
1 - force of habit, as you say
2 - young people have always found new ways to express themselves, so that us old folks can't understand them.

I think most of them are not english-natives, and use/used IRC too much.

anyone talking like that would be driven off by the natives where I hang out in IRC.

Which is ofc stupid when they need adult assistance. OTOH I can believe it readily enough remembering how much trouble I had getting through to my brother that even if his friends all emailed back and forth in smsspeak (which was doubly sad since he didn't have a cell at the time) without capitals or punctuation it's not an acceptable style to use if trying to get advice from a college prof on a science fair project. I (think I) finally did get through to him and he's generally used something resembling English when emailing me since but getting past 'all my friends do it this way' was maddening.

well.. i know hell more bout C#
probably not bout directx and i dont think its needed!
i know physics..
i know i have to write code..
but i just dont know how to start.. where to start from?
how to move out images? i mean.. all dat crap!!

Hi Chumairr
You hell know more about C# , so we won't get any more programming posts. But, if you want tricks and tips about writing pool / snooker software - this is a good site to start with.
Good luck!!

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to write a simple swap function for two items in a combo box (this is used for moving an item in a combo box up or down depending on the button the user clicks).
My problem is that when I set ComboBox.DroppedDown = true, when the user clicks the button again while it is dropped down, (or anywhere else besides the combo box) it switches back to selecting the index that was initially selected. This is a problem when they want to move the same item more than one position -- it doesn't follow the user's selection.
private void SwapFrameNames(int oldIndex, int newIndex)
{
cmbFrames.DroppedDown = true;
object temp = cmbFrames.Items[newIndex];
cmbFrames.Items[newIndex] = cmbFrames.Items[oldIndex];
cmbFrames.Items[oldIndex] = temp;
cmbFrames.SelectedIndex = newIndex;
}
The code works fine if I comment out the first line of the function -- it follows the selection as expected.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Phil

Not really a fix, but the swap is going to take a split second to occur, right ? So why not drop it AFTER doing the swap, if having it open stops the swap from working ?

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your suggestion, doing as you said fixed the problem of it not following the user's selection, but it uncovered what was part of the root problem: when the ComboBox is open, and the user clicks anywhere that isn't part of the dropdown/box, it consumes the mouse event(s) so that the button that is clicked on is not activated -- this means the user has to click twice to continue moving the item down the list.
So I guess this is a new question now: is there any way to pass the mouse events on to the rest of the form after the dropdown closes itself?
Thanks again,
Phil

Hi Phil,
two ideas:
1.
the DroppedDown property manipulation should not be there at all; it is not
needed to swap frame names; if your app needs it, put it elsewhere (or
modify your method name)
2.
you might want to use SelectedItem instead of SelectedIndex; this should
even work if the selected index is different from oldIndex/newIndex;
it will fail if your ComboBox holds duplicates (not a good idea anyhow)
private static void SwapFrameNames(ComboBox cb, int oldIndex, int newIndex) {
object sel=cb.SelectedItem;
cb.SelectedItem=null;
object temp = cb.Items[newIndex];
cb.Items[newIndex] = cb.Items[oldIndex];
cb.Items[oldIndex] = temp;
cb.SelectedItem=sel;
}
Hope this helps.

I wasn't sure where to put this dilemma, but here it goes.
I have a web application wrapped around a state machine workflow that allows the user to pick search parameters from one content pane and then displays the results in the parallel pand via a gridview. I've wrapped both panes in and am using ajax extenders (Calendars and Watermark) in the search pane. I also have the search parameters saved into a Dictionary object.
Unfortunately this is slowing down this portion of the application to a crawl. I'm at a loss as to what is causeing the delays, which happen both on ititial page load and when search button is clicked. I'm using some ajax extenders in other portions of the application with no detriment. I would provide code samples if you think they'll help, just ask
Any suggestions or leads would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

AJAX means I'd have stuck with the ASP.NET forum ( where you've also posted this )
Perhaps your code is making too many AJAX callbacks and that is slowing it down ?
