"Exactly"? To quote MSDN*;
Compared to floating-point types, the decimal type has more precision and a smaller range, which makes it appropriate for financial and monetary calculations.
Treating the items as integers in monetary applications prevents a lot of common errors, like wrong boxing/unboxing, rounding errors, wrong conversions and/or picking an inappropriate datatype. If you count whole items, there is no rounding, and cents only come in whole-variants.

The last time I filled up my gas tank it was $3.499/gallon (349.9 cents/gallon) 
And, consider why 25cents is called "two-bits": Bit (money)[^] ...

Which means you get a cent discount if you buy ten; does not mean that a tenth of a cent exists.
That is confusing physical objects (stuff) with claims (I will be getting a cent discount).

In the US, the 1/10th of a cent unit is still legally defined and used in some contexts.
Mill (currency)[^]
In any case, the point is that accurate financial arithmetic in units of less than a cent is still a requirement in some cases and using only integer cents can still lead to difficulties.

It does, but it may lack an installer. There's InstallShield[^], InstallAware[^] (former WISE), InnoSetup[^] and InstallForge[^], to name a few.
There's a handy comparison on Wikipedia[^].

okay but now im a little bit confused , how would i use the inbuilt compiler?
|
|
|
|
|
To compile what? Your code or to build an installer?
|
|
|
|
|
im talking about creating an installer for my program
|
|
|
|
|
Visual Studio doesn't have one built in any more.
|
|
|
|

A compiler makes binary from a (text) source file. You invoke it from VS by "running" the application. All the sources will be compiled, and the result executed.
An installer is what you use to get that executable working on another machine, and it would copy both the executable and depending binairies to the target-system.

Unless you want to write one yourself, I suggest you follow the links given and see if any of those installers would be appropriate for your application

Hello
You need to follow these steps:
Create an Instance of form2 on form1 button click event
Form2 frm = new Form2();
frm.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString());
In that code i assumed that path of images are listed in listbox
Thanks

Watch who you're replying to. Griff already knows how to do this.
Oh, and your solution locks the image file for the lifetime of the Image object you get back from the call to Image.FromFile.
It's better you use a file stream to load the data into a Bitmap and dispose the stream, avoiding the lock on the image file.
|
|
|
|
|
add click/doubleclick event to your listbox control and pass the current image name to second page using constructor or property. in your second page you can load the image from the image name.

You didn't post the error, but are you missing a closing parenthesis. Should
Convert.ToInt32(dict.PreAuthResultCode.ToString(),
be
Convert.ToInt32(dict.PreAuthResultCode.ToString()),
As a side note, why the unnecessary ToString calls? For example
"CardPreAuthorizationNumber".ToString()
The constant string is already a string...
