Did not know it is supposed to be a rule to test a empty string by checking the length. Doesn't that blow if your string is null and does not point to a string object? In that case you would have to check for null and then check for length. I have been assigning my strings String.Empty when initalized and just comparing for that. Maybe I have to change.

Here's the classic compiler warning:
Say u have an ArrayList with mixed objects, then try test for an empty string like this:
if (arr[2] == "") ...
and it complains that you should cast.
But to most inexperienced programmers will just do:
if ( (string) arr[2] == "") ...
and how now brown cow? Well my opinion.
You should of course do this (i think, i just ignore the warning):
if ( arr[2] as String == "" ) ...

Is params a C# keyword or can it be used in other .NET programming languages?
Thanks

I want to owner-draw some window scrollbars on a combo box dropdown, using a method that works under Windows 9x. Now, I know that pre-XP windows does not have any easy way of doing this.
If it was a listbox, you could make your own window, put a listbox without the hscroll and vscroll styles set, and scrollbar, on that window, and forward the messages (and the focus) to the combo. All fine and dandy, except that it would no longer be able to be derived from ListBox. It is also not a very good way of doing things.
You could also subclass the control and draw over the scrollbars (in the WM_NCPAINT notification), but that gets a little tricky, because the scrollbar redraws when the user scrolls.  On top of that, if you want a scrollbar with a different width, too bad.
You could remove the hscroll and vscroll styles, resize the client area, and draw your own scrollbar from scratch, but the next time someone tries to change the scroll info using the SetScrollInfo API, there they are again.
Any ideas?

I'm going to go the WM_NCPAINT way, as there's obviously no better way, and it works.

I'm having a hard time how to set up my event handling for my app. Its an mdi app, where the window that gets displayed depends on what the user clicks in the parent window through a series of link labels and buttons. When a user clicks on a control I want to pass the name of the form to display, but I don't know how to do this. Can any one help me get starte on this?

have a constructor, pass by value a string or object , use MDI methods.

I think you want to try VB rather 
No, seriously, C# does NOT support default (optional) parameters. That is generally done with method overloading (a bit boring sometimes, but it does help in other areas, eg complex initialization/ops).
Another option is to variable arguments ak params (like the Console.WriteLine() overload), but that is more similar to var_args in C. In fact the compiler will generate 3 overloads for you, and the "default" array parameter.

WebRequest wrGETURL;
wrGETURL = WebRequest.Create(sURL);
((HttpWebRequest)wrGETURL).UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0";
Q1) On the first line above we can see that WebRequest is a class. On line 2 it seems to me that WebRequest is now an "instance". Could somebody explain that to me? I don't understand how you can call a method on a "class". I thought you had to call it on an "instance of the class".
Q2) In the third line wrGETURL is being cast to HttpWebRequest. I really don't understand how this could be legal since HttpWebRequest is derived from WebRequest. Could somebody demonstrate this casting using a generic set of classes (foo, bar ... etc.)
Thanks!

A1) In the second line, WebRequest is still a class, and Create() is a static[^] method of that class.
A2) Well, WebRequest.Create() can return various types of web requests (including HTTPWebRequest), therefore, it needs to have the generic web request as a return type. In this case, I suppose that the URL is assumed to start with "http://" and therefore return an HTTP request.

i have some problems storing data in an access-database.
my dataadapter don't want to execute the update()-command
correctly.
i'm creating my commands via OleDbCommandBuilder and the
sql-statements seems correct. only the select-command works
properly. the only difference between the select-command object
and the others is a private attribute called "executequery".
in the select-command that flag is true in the others false.
but i cannot access it!
what is to do?
here's some code:
string sConnString = "provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0; data source = myDatabase.mdb";
string sCmdString = "SELECT * FROM dbTest";
OleDbDataAdapter dataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(sCmdString, sConnString);
OleDbCommandBuilder cb = new OleDbCommandBuilder(dataAdapter);
dataAdapter.UpdateCommand = cb.GetUpdateCommand();
dataAdapter.UpdateCommand.CommandTimeout = 20;
dataAdapter.InsertCommand = cb.GetInsertCommand();
dataAdapter.InsertCommand.CommandTimeout = 20;
dataAdapter.DeleteCommand = cb.GetDeleteCommand();
dataAdapter.DeleteCommand.CommandTimeout = 20;
// that works
table = new DataTable(sTable);
dataAdapter.Fill(table);
// fill the table with some data
// ...
// that one doesn't work
dataAdapter.Update(table);
thanks,
phil

I'm not sure if this is the problem that you are having, but have you set up your UpdateCommand property of OleDbDataAdapter or DataSet instance that you are working with? I think you have to do that in order for Update to work properly.

Hi. I need to read a text file.
I know that the System.Xml.XmlTextReader class provides a way for ignoring white spaces (space, tab, return, ...) using the WhitespaceHandling field.
I was wondering if there is something like that for reading plain text files (since i did not find it)

Try the System.IO namespace - espically System.IO.TextReader.

I did look in TextReader, but since i could not find that feature, that is why i am asking about it here.

a very basic case of opening a text file and checking it's contents :
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
TextOpen("test.txt");
}
private void TextOpen(string txtPath)
{
System.IO.StreamReader stream = new System.IO.StreamReader(txtPath,Encoding.ASCII,true);
MessageBox.Show(stream.ReadToEnd());
stream.Close();
}
switch(twinsOnWay)
{
case ("twins on the way"):
MessageBox.Show("for mr and mrs dynamic","twins on the way");
break;

Hehe, it appears people cant read questions anymore 
I assume that you are looking for something like a "word" or "token" reader.
This is rather easy to do, and there are many ways to do this.
1. String.Split( char[] whitespace )
2. Take a string, read it char for char adding it to a StringBuilder when reaching whitespace, add string in StringBuilder to ArrayList and clear StringBuilder, continue the process. This gives you a bit more control and makes debugging easier.
3. Use RegEx.Split

ofcourse lol , i never took notice of the original question correctly. my wife's been in hospital for a few days and she's only 6 and half months gone with expecting the twins , so my mind's elsewhere.
leppie is correct you need to use split if you already have the text in your app and wish to remove "whitespaces".
switch(twinsOnWay)<br />
{<br />
case ("twins on the way"):<br />
MessageBox.Show("for mr and mrs dynamic","twins on the way");<br />
