Cool pictures.

We started Windows applications tonight in C# class. So far, it seems pretty simple, though I'm sure it will get much more complex. I don't feel like I'm really programming when I'm dragging and dropping controls into a window.
I asked the instructor tonight whether my using ArrayLists in the assignment was okay, and he said, "You can do that if you like, though you don't have to." He then explained that C# actually does allow you to create a new array with the same name as an existing one, though it would delete the original - so we can effectively dynamically increase the size of array A by copying it to a larger array B, and then re-declaring A as a new array of the larger size. Silly me, I had assumed that that wouldn't be allowed. I may try changing my program to do that, but I'm hesitant to play any more with it lest I break something. I'm tempted to hand it in now, a week early, just so that I won't screw something up. :)
Speaking of changing things and screwing them up, I did that last week with the HTML/CSS quiz - remember that question I said I changed my mind about? I should have changed my mind one less time. :( (Or should that be "one fewer time"? "Fewer" doesn't look right there...)
I also mixed up properties and values thereof in a question on CSS, and answered that a property is followed by a semicolon, rather than a colon... dammit, I knew that. That was a question I didn't even bother to think about before answering.
