For those who need it: the make-up PMT is Friday, April 17, 2009 2:30-4:30 PM in C-227.

Final Exam: Monday April 20 @ 5-7 PM

By common request: Practice PMT Cipher Question Possible Solution.
Some general information regarding the solution: There are several ways to coding solutions - if/then/else or case statement would also serve very nicely. Another possible method: an array with 2 rows, 26 columns. In one row, you put the alphabet going from A to Z. In the other row, you put the alphabet from Z to A. The shortest (but most challenging) solution would be to manipulate the Unicode values.

Remember for the PMT: you need a solution that works!

There have been a lot of questions regarding assignment #8a and b regarding sharing information between forms and passing information between forms. I have some examples that may help you out: example 1 and example 2. (Let me know if there are still questions, but look at these first).

Reminder: Assignment #8a is now due with assignment #8b. The due dates are as follows:
Wednesday Lab - 4/15
Thursday Lab - 4/16
Monday Lab - 4/20

A selection of sample PMT's are available (download zip here). The real PMT will be given the last week of lab (during the week of April 13). If you have any questions regarding the PMT feel free to ask - email me, post a question on the discussion boards, or talk to me at class.

We have a new C# tutor/mentor, Corey McClain, who'll be holding "help desk hours" in room C208 for one-on-one help with C# programming issues. He's not directly connected to any of these courses, so don't expect that he'll know what a specific course assignment specs looks like. However, Corey is a an excellent C# programmer / problem-solver and is a good resource when you need some help with programming assignments or course material.
