Thanks for the response! Actually, I really like how ClickOnce deploys the application and has it auto-update itself. The one thing that I really like is the fact that it installs the application at a very inconspicuous location, which should prevent the casual user from browsing the install...

I have a timer which I want to run on a separate thread. Is this the proper way to start the TICK procedure of the timer? Thread PBThread; private void rdoPBBack_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (this.rdoPBBack.Checked == true)...

I am able to create an application that checks a website and if an update is available, install that update, by using the ClickOnce feature of Visual C# 2005 .NET The only problem is that it doesn't give me the power to add a desktop icon and other useful things as other full blown install...

Hello guys, Here is my next obstacle... I have a code which reads a pipe delimited file which has 2 columns, then takes the values of column 1 to fill a combobox. Then I enter a value on a textbox, which corresponds to a value on column 2, from the file read above. What I need is for the...

You could also do this, assuming you know exactly how many decimals the value needs to be: double number1 = 0.000001096492799312173; string result = number1.Value.ToString("F26"); The "F26" attribute is stating that the string will have 26 decimal places. Hope that helps.

Thanks buddy!!! Your reply got me thinking and it's easier than I thought! lol Here is the simple solution: int v3 = v2 + v1 if (v3 < 0) { v3 = v3 + 360; } if (v3 > 359) { v3 = v3 - 360; } resultv3 = v3.ToString("F0").PadLeft(3, '0'); The above worked wonderfully!

I made a mistake about the above formula. It should be that you need to ADD v2 to v1...

Hello all, As some of you might know, a compass heading is from 000 to 359 degrees. Now here is my problem. v1 = 6 // Magnetic Heading v2 = -10 // Magnetic Variation In order to find out what is the TRUE HEADING, we need to substract v2 from v1 (6 minus -10). The result will be -4, but -4 is...

the string.PadLeft command worked perfectly! THANKS!

If v=4 then I want v=004 If v=44 then I want v=044 If v=444 then I want v=444

Hello bouwob, The problem with this is that it has a fixed value for the amount of variables to add. This doesn't work for me. For instance, if I want the variable to have 3 characters all the time, then the program will add as many zeros to the variable until it is 3 characters in length.

Hello all, I know that in PHP, if you want a variable to always be say 3 characters in length and the value is 1 or 2 characters, you can use the sprintf command to insert as many characters of your choice, until the variable reaches the specified length. How can I do the same with Visual C#...

Thanks! Worked like a charm... And no, it's not a school project! lol I am trying to learn C#, so I have started on a flight simulation related program for my Virtual Airline. Thanks!

Hello all, I am running into a dead end. I have a comma separated value file (airports.txt) which has 2 columns in this format and is delimited by a PIPE "|": AALBORG, DENMARK|AAL AARHUS, DENMARK|AAR AL AIN, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES|AAN ALBACETE, SPAIN|ABC ABILENE, TX|ABI How can I read this file...

Thanks!!! That worked like a charm
