Thanks that basically worked I just need to call the function to roll the ability scores first I guess since right now it is showing them as all 0 lol but at least it is printing them.

Ok I take that back even running RollAbility() first didn't populate the ability scores. Or should I say didn't save them and pass them.It rolls the dice perfectly re-rolls, them great,but still shows each score at 0 when you run the ShowAbilities()

Your additional problem is probably:

public void RollAbilities()
        {
            Abilities BaseClass = new Abilities();
            BaseClass.RollStr();
            BaseClass.RollDex();
            BaseClass.RollCon();
            BaseClass.RollInt();
            BaseClass.RollWis();
            BaseClass.RollCha();
        }

You are creating a new instance of Abilities, rolling your dice and then your instance goes out of scope so you get nothing. Change that to

public void RollAbilities()
        {
            RollStr();
            RollDex();
            RollCon();
            RollInt();
            RollWis();
            RollCha();
        }

I think Wes has effectively answered your questions.

But, a word of advice, it's good to make clear that what you are passing in this case to a function is not a "variable" but the value (in this case a string) contained inside that variable.

When you are ready, you should examine the keywords 'ref, and 'out to understand the possibilities of what may happen when you want a change to a passed in value within some function to affect the variable that was the source of the parameter in the function.

Database Connection on Deployment

Thanks everyone that has helped. This is part of a character generator for a D&D type game. I'm just hoping I get it in right I have a couple hours before I have to turn it in so wish me luck lol. If I run into any other problems I will be sure to come back.

How to add new connection string to the application on deployment of application on any other system using setup ?

Why "during setup"? Your app can determine where it is installed once it's installed; simply ask the current assembly for it's location. You can then dynamically build a correct connectionstring, based on the circumstances;

Will you be installing Sql Server Express? Will the database be auto-attaching, or always attached under a alias? It'd be preferably to name the instance, if it's not shared; and depending on your security-settings, you might be using Windows authentication or Sql Server authentication.

How the connection-string will ultimately look varies per database; you can find examples here[^].

..and what does it have to do with C#?

Hi guys. I am trying to download images from websites. I found lots of sample codes but they simply implement System.Drawing. I dont have such a header file to implement. Does any one know what happend to my "System.Drawing" header file. I am using visual studio 2010 and C# language.
all the best

I'm not sure what you mean by "header file" here but you may like to look at the documentation for System.Drawing Namespaces[^].

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

C# doesn't have header-files, you're confused with C. Add the reference to the assembly, and you're good to go. Open the IDE, go to the solution explorer, right-click the "references" node, click "add reference".

System.Drawing is added automagically for WinForms, not Console-applications.

Another textbox question [SOLVED]

Diego Carrion25-Aug-12 22:25

25-Aug-12 22:25

I posted earlier about converting a textbox into textarea. Another problem arose when I switched from a listbox to a textbox. I have many buttons each representing a character and when I click on the button I want the text to be added to the textbox. With a listbox the following did the trick: listbox1.Items.Add("あ");

but the same wont work for a textbox. I want to be able to construct sentences with buttons and then be able to copy and paste. Thanks in advance.

Re: Converting textbox into textarea.

25-Aug-12 16:16

I have a couple of questions regarding this. I'm creating an app that allows me to click on characters that appear in a textbox so they can be copied an pasted with ease.I'm currently using a textbox but everytime I enter a character it doesn't enter it from left to write. On the textbox it appears from top to bottom and my goal is to construct sentences. I want it to read from left to right.

Would you like to try asking that again?
As it is, I don't have a clue what your problem is.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind.

Perhaps an example of what you are doing, and what help you need?
