Question about the Color class

7 New Member
In the Color Class, there's a method GetColor which returns a color and accepts a string of the color you want, and I'm having problems getting it to work - namely, I want to know exactly what this string it takes is. Is it the name of the color you want, so you could type GetColor("BLACK ") and get back the Color.black, or is it some other representation of the color? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Open the API docs pages for Color and read the explanation given for that method.

Hello, My question isn't specific to .Net but as .Net is object oriented, I would be interested if someone could let me know if there is a standard way of implementing what I describe below in OO or if it is covered by a design pattern. I hope someone can help me as I have been looking for a solution to this question for a while. For example:

Hello everybody, today I had another quiz question "if class X is privately derived from base class Y what is the scope of the public, protected, private members of Y will be in class X" By scope they meant public/protected/private access modifiers :) Obviously all members of the base privately inherited class will be private, and that was my answer. However, the teacher checked my answers when I handed in, and the problem was that I had...

Quick question- What happens if you have a private class with a public static method? Can you still say the following? Lets say you are making this call from another class, say class2... int myVal = class1.method(); It seems that you should not be able to, after all from class2, you should not be able to see the private class1, so it's public static method is effectively wasted.

I was reading a ppt ( http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/pdc/4064/tls310.ppt ) and came aross this statement. "Users can leverage a destructor. The C++ compiler generates all the Dispose code automatically, including chaining calls to Dispose. (There is no Dispose pattern)" but Dispose can thrown an exception. Is the exception supressed?

Hi. I have a RCW class that was generated by the VS.NET2003 IDE when I added a COM dll reference to my project. This all works fine when I call methods on it. My initial problem is that in ASP.NET I would like to add this to the Session object whilst using SQLServer as the session storage. Unfortunately, as this required the RCW class to be serializable, this won't work, and throws an exception saying you can't Serialize the Session...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...
