@Ravikumar: I'm pretty sure there's a little button in the lower-right hand corner of the player that will make the video go full screen.  Just doing this from memory.  Hope that helps?

@Sean: Funny.  Smiley  Thanks!

@antisocial: Well, two things ... First, check this out:

http://www.dotnetperls.com/int-parse

Second, efficiency is the last thing I would worry about in application development.  Not saying you should never worry about it, but it is literally the final thing you would concern yourself with, having bench marked performance, then running tools to determine where the bottlenecks are.  You shouldn't make presumptions about performance prior to having real metric to judge against.  Hope that helps!

Is it a proxy issue because I use my office computer which is subject to a firewall and proxy?

Please advise because I'd love to follow properly with Visual Studio open in front of me.

Thanks

It will get forwarded to them ... perhaps they can better diagnose.  Hope that helps!!!

@Ameer Ali: I think either (1) you need to update the Silverlight plugin for either streaming or watching locally, and/or (2) you need to use the MP4 version of the file download (above).  That should fix your problem.  Good luck!!!

My hello world application worked very well, but when the time came to write this application, when I ran it in debug or in a built release, the window just flashed (opened and closed itself very very quickly, not giving me a single error or anything).

What's the matter? My Hello World application could stay open for a while until I hit the enter button... but this one seems to act by itself. I verified my code and everything seems to be the exact same thing as you... I haven't even messed with any options so I don't know what could cause this to happen :(

I think your curly braces are in the wrong spots ... so:

class Program
{

  public static void Main() 
  {
  }

}

Also, you are returning 4*aNumber; ... however you can't perform this type of statement outside of a method declaration.  Only fields, property and methods can live directly inside of a class. 

I would recommend you keep watching through lesson 10 ... these types of things will be discussed in more detail.  You're on the right track!  Just need to get a few specifics under your belt.  Good luck!

Being only 15 I have no experience whatsoever apart from basic HTML knowledge. You really explain everything well and not once have i been frustrated with the code because you go through the possible mistakes that have been made and tell you how to fix them.

great work and thank you for making these :).

When you write the lines:

console.writeline("Which door will you choose 1, 2, or 3?");
string uservalue = console.readline();

I understand that console.writeline will command the console to display the text "Which door will you choose..." However, I don't fully understand what console.readline is or what it does when it is being used to give value to a variable. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't even fully understand why we use the command "console.readline"

Could you bring clarity to my thoughts please?
It would be most appreciated.
Thank you.

int x = 7;
string y = "Brogan";
string myFirstTry = x + y;

string y2 = "5";
string mySecondTry = x + y2;
Console.WriteLine(mySecondTry);

Console.ReadLine();

The above doesn't result in an error, but simply displays '75' on the console window. I have the exact same version of the .NET framework that Mr. Tabor is using (4.0.30319) and I'm using Visual C# Express 2010. The only difference is that I have XNA Studio installed alongside the base Visual C# Express application.

It's not really a problem, I'm just a bit curious why it appears as though this code results in a string and not a build error like in the video.

That code was more like this:

int x = 7;
string y = "Brogan";
string myFirstTry = x + y;

string y2 = "5";
int mySecondTry = x + y2;
Console.WriteLine(mySecondTry);

Console.ReadLine();

 

Note that mySecondTry is an int, not a string. String works, because (as Bob explains in the video) it is essentially doing...

x.ToString() + y2;

But you can't do a conversion from a string, or from the concatenation of two strings, into an integer. If you truly wanted the combination of 7 + 5, you would need to do this:

int mySecondTry = x +  int.Parse(y2);

This only works because y2 is a number, if it happened to be "Bob" or "Brogan", then int.Parse would throw an error.

I am now coding a Client Server application. More exactly, a game. Certainly not one of those popular games, but it is a good way to learn more about C# and TCP.

Thank you again. I could have made it without you.
