"& character" and MenuStrip

Hi..

Why is it impossible to add a "&" character to item in VS2005 menustrip?

In properties, it preserves itself as "&", but in menu, shows up as some
small line instead of &.

Can you help?

Because & has since a long time back been used to set the keyboard
shortcut key for buttons and menu items. You can get a & character by
writing && instead.

Hi, I'm using xmlDocument.Save(xmlTextWriter) to create an Excel-readable file. All works well, except where I've replaced the carriage return chars in the .innertext to XML-compliant " "; It gets changed to "&amp;#10" and doesn't render new lines in the Excel sheet. Can anyone help? Many thanks,

why scanf("%d. %d. %d",&d,&m,&y); is NOT reading the i/p 22 4 1972 correctly, whereas it is reading the i/p 22. 4. 1972 correctly ?. Is it because of the dot in the format string of scanf ?
