It's in a different class...

CalculateScore is a class within Form1 class - it can't access Form1 objects!

Hi,

I am reading inbox sms messages from gsm mobile
some messages are being received by following format. Please let me know, how may I convert this into text / string to read easily?

050003B60201AE65F6F8DD2E83E86F50D5FC769743206919CECE83EE693A1A146BCD40F437685E17CFC7F2B4B80CA2A3CBA079596E4F8FCBA0B719549583C6E8777A5C063DA5207919CECE83EE693A1A749A56852750DA0CCABFEBA07B7A8E06D1DFA0795D3C1FCBD3E23288FE0685D96CD0DB0CA2A3CBED9022D6AA52EBEEF21C040049E72E506C450DE35F

Thank you

I do not know the structure of SMS messages, but I'm sure Google can find it for you. However, the above looks like hexadecimal so you just need to convert it to normal bytes.

I wonder what "normal bytes" are, they all look the same to me...

I changed it from "characters" as that seemed wrong; how would you describe it?

Luc Pattyn18-Jun-12 5:30

I'd say it looks like some kind of encoding; half of the hex values shown are above 0x80, so it sure isn't just ASCII characters. Our friend Google would know, as you said.

I meant rather "convert to ???". I know it's just a HEX representation of some message, and I also know that SMS messages contain lots of odd bits of information.

Hi can anyone tell me why the myDice which is the underlined part is giving me thie following error please.

name 'myDice' does not exist in the current context

I have up the top of the coding the following so not sure why it is not picking up this particular myDice.

int[] Dice = new int[] { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, };
int[] myDice = new int[] { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

public int AddUpDice( int DieNumber, int[] Dice )
            {
                int Sum = 0;

                for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
                {
                    if (myDice[i].RollNumber == DieNumber)
                    {
                        Sum += DieNumber;
                    }
                }

                return Sum;
        }

The reason why i post this solution is, once my code was not latest and i am trying to get the variable value and it's not accessible. so when i clean the solution and rebuild, it was working fine.

anyway thanks for downvote me... this will make my answer more perfect. Big Grin | :-D

I didn't downvote you. I just posted the message saying you were WAY off.

Cleaning the solution and rebuilding works for cases where you make a change in the code, but for some reason the built version isn't running the updated code.

His problem simply dealt with variable scope and the curse of using "global" variables.

Where exactly is myDice defined?

int doesn't have a member RollNumber, so even if there wasn't a scope issue you'd get a compiler error (Or there's some hidden extension method?).

Another thing, there's a redundant parameter int[] Dice or is this a typo and you've intended to use myDice?

If it isn't finding it there are a couple of reasons:
1) It is not declared in an appropriate scope
2) It is is declared as non static and you are referencing it from a static method.

You method declaration is not static, so it must be the first option.

Try something: place a private modifier in front of the myDice declaration:

private int[] myDice = new int[] { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

If the compiler complains, then the declaration is within a method of some form, and will go out of scope at the closing close curly bracket. Objects outside the method cannot access variables declared within it.

It is generally a good idea to explicitly specify the access modifier for all variables: it makes it much clearer when you read the code.

As it happens, I have told you what the problem is with your code dump.

Given that you are working from this article[^] you should be able to resolve all these issues by looking at the code on that page. However, it also appears that you are new to programming (or maybe just C#), so you would be well advised to get hold of a good book and work through it to get your understanding of the basics to the right level. If you cannot find a book easily then .NET Book Zero[^] contains a great introductory tutorial.
