Hi.

First of all, a note about your messages. You were saying "may b coz of my 
crap language(i dnt thnk so..eh!)": noone will complain on this mailing list 
if your English is not perfect (I'm Italian, and most of my mails contain 
errors). Nevertheless, using all these "slang" words like "coz", "lil"... 
and so on will not help you in receiving a reply from the other folks on the 
mailing list.

Regarding your problem, I'm still a bit confused: in the previous mails you 
were talking about C (probably using a Borland compiler), now you seem to 
talk about C#, which is a completely different story. Can you please provide 
us some specific details on your development environment so that someone can 
provide you some specific hint to your issue(s)?

Have a nice day
GV
