Hi, after reading up, c# doesnt appear to use gloal variables. Alot of
post advise against them also. So Im wondering how to get around this.
Im trying to do a calculation, retain the result, do another
calculation then add the result to my retained value etc. my values:
Im backing then laying horses. So I back first, say with a return of
£20 if it wins. Then I lay the horse with an offset bet giving me an
overall return of £1. Ok, so I need to retain this value, at the
momment I put it in textbox 'a'. Now say on the same horse I bet
again. Same bet £20 if it wins, except Ive got to add my £1 giving
£21. Ok so far, but I must retain the £20 outcome for this bet as it
is used to calculate the offset bet. Not the £21. At the momment Im
putting this figure into textbox 'b'. Ive written a class to do all
the calcs. These calcs are done when a button is clicked, so once
clicked the variables go out of focus, whence putting the values in a
text box. But this doesnt feel very proffesional. Also I have to use
another text box to retain the first odds backed a, so I can check
that the lay odds are smaller. Hope you get the jist. Can anybody
advise if there is a better way to do this.

Rob,
after reading through this thread, it sounds to me that if you intend to
make your application really usable (or to sell it to others) then you need
to stop and think about how to store your data in some sort of database or
local file storage that gets reloaded when somebody restarts your
application.
When you get your first Martingale system running let me know and I'll buy a
copy.
Peter

Thankyou all for our replys. Plenty to work with now. Storing the data
is my next task, although martingale will not be the system. Simply
trying to trade the prices/money. Ive tried the static class and that
works. Going to try your suggestion also Mark. thanks again.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but OOP generally and classes
specifically are *absolutely fundamental* to C#...
You really would be well advised to get a copy of this: http://www.amazon.com/C-2005-Dummies...0879762&sr=8-1
and work your way through it. Part 4 particularly will be of great benefit
to your particular requirements...
Without a basic grasp of how a C# app is structured, and what the various
bits do, you're really going to struggle...
Also, if you get into bad habits from the beginning, you'll find it much
more difficult to "unlearn" them in the future...

Totaly agree. No offence taken. Thats the good thing about asking
question, you soon find out how little you know.

I'm learning Javascript. I downloaded a script for study. Please tell
me how the variable "loop" can have scope in the first function when
it is altered in the second function? It is not defined in global
space, therefore it is not a global variable, yes? Even if it was
global, how would it get from one function to another? In PHP
variables are copied by value. Are they copied by reference in
Javascript?

C++: The Case Against Global Variables
Summary
This article explores the negative ramifications of using global variables. The use of global variables is such a problem that C++ architects have called it polluting the global namespace. This article explores what happens when the global namespace becomes polluted and how to avoid this condition.
The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author alone although many have...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
