Hi ,
Can any one calrify me giving answers to the questions based on the c program given below. -
char * b, q, *r;
-
b=getbuf();
-
q = *b;
-
r= anotherfunction(b);
-
/* we want to use ‘q’ and ‘r’ here*/
-
char * getbuf()
-
{
-
char buff[8];
-
/* unspecified, buff defined here *./
-
return (char *) buff;
-
}
-
1. What will be in variable ‘q’ after line q=*b is executed? Under what conditions might this not be so?
2. Is there an alternative, but equivalent, way to write the line char * getbuf() If so, what is it?
3. Is getbuf() a reasonable function?
4. Will getbuf() execute at all?
5. Please comment on line return (char *) buff;
6. Is getbuf() good practice, and why?
7. What line not given should be provided for compilation?
Please I need help very urgently .
Regards
Sahitya

hi,
i'm new to .net 2.0, and am just starting to get to grips with the
gridview.
my page has autoEventWireUp set to true, which i gather is supposed to
figure out which handlers to invoke when appropriate based on your
method names .
the GridView has OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand" in the aspx.
my problem is that the RowCommand event is firing twice (95% of the
time) on the page. the other 5% it only fires once. there's no

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
