If you're trying to deal a hand then it seems to me you need a collection - after all, a player holds multiple cards. I think you need to take a step back, rather than continuing with your current code. I'd do it something like... more 12/30/2013 8:54:41 AM

I suspect you were actually trying to use parameters - note that your pgp and team variables in C# aren't being used at all in your code. I suspect you want something like: using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection()) { string... more 12/29/2013 6:15:07 PM

You should use an enum: [Flags] public enum WeekDays { Sunday = 1, Saturday = 2, Friday = 4, Thursday = 8, Wednesday = 16, Tuesday = 32, Monday = 64 } A simple explicit conversion will do the "remapping"... more 12/29/2013 5:45:53 PM

If you're looking for an exact match, you just need: bool found = lstRemovecol.Contains(row["Item code"].ToString()); No need for LINQ at all, or Any. If you're trying to find any of the items within a longer string (for example, if... more 12/28/2013 1:18:33 PM

Can I use using statement on a parameter object as in the following uncommon example code snippet (viz., multi-layer application)? You can, but it's generally odd to do so. Usually whatever is creating the StreamReader would be... more 12/28/2013 11:17:43 AM

You definitely don't want to use ObjectOutputStream - that will use binary serialization that your telnet server won't be expecting. It would be best to create an OutputStreamWriter: // Adjust the encoding to whatever you want, but you... more 12/28/2013 10:00:19 AM
