But wait there's more... - Plug the screen into a different computer -> it works - My laptop (details below) picks up the screen - It is enabled, set to ...

Persistance pays off... I have managed to cobble together a solution which works. some things may seem strange, they do to me but regardless... at least it works On the webservice side [WebMethod] public byte[] CreatePurchaseOrder(string XMLParamString) { MemoryStream ms = (MemoryStream)ZipClassLibr...

Emperor battle for dune told me my PC was running at -1.500 GHz when i tried to install it a while ago (on my 3GHz machine...) before i had to reinstall vista on my laptop: tried to install Roxio: Roxio cannot install because it is already installed... i go to Programs and Features, find it, try to ...

Gee thanks guys, the response I expected... @Raud: the Int32 is casting from type Long to Int32. its getting the length of/for the buffer it has nothing to do with its contents. The method definition is Stream.Read(byte[] ,int,int); but Stream.Length is a 'long'. hence why a cast is used.[/code] ps,...

Once again its rusty to the rescue :D @FBiT: I like your idea :!: Id a similar thing in mind for my next attempt, random x, y and value then check against constraints. I'm currently just cycling through the grid sequentially, though as far as i can tell thats not my issue, theres something fishy in ...

does it just turn off or does it go through the whole windows is shutting down...?

if it just turns off straight(as if someone pulled the plug) then have your PSU checked. My pc started doing that to me and it was coz i overloaded the PSU (to many HDD )

So its varsity holidays, I'm bored and teaching myself C#. and just for the hell of it making another Sudoku game. So my issues lie in populating the grid, how am i doing this? using a random number generator as I cycle through the grid checking if each number is allowed there and if not trying anot...
