    I am going to learn C#

    You can download Visual Studio Express Edition from Microsoft for free. There are some limitations, but for someone new to the language, it's doubtful you'd hit one of them. Chip H. ____________________________________________________________________ www.chipholland.com

    Static when burning audio CD

    Power Mac Dual G5

    Kill a specific Winword process

    Do Partial Classes Extend Existing Code

    You can use partial classes like that, but the class you're trying to extend has to already be marked as being a partial. Extension methods (new to 3.x) are probably what you're looking for. Chip H. ____________________________________________________________________ www.chipholland.com

    VB 2008 and Lotus Notes

    Memory Not Released
