Very nice Kerry,
I wonder if you can have something like

Code: [Select]

//getIntOpt.AllowNone = false;
//getIntOpt.AllowZero = true;
Pre-commented and highlighted that way you could just uncomment and modify the property if you wanted to use it
….Just a thought.

Hi Daniel
I have been looking at that, it's easier to remove lines not required than to add them

.. for instance , the
ed.WriteMessage("\nInteger was " + intResultValue.ToString());
is intended as a debug aid only.

I am continuing to see a lot of potential here.
.. have sketched out heaps of stuff I intend to 'snippet'

The piccy above shows code that requires about 8 words to be typed .... not bad, heh !

Yep that’s exactly what I was thinking.

I guess I will need to transfer all my stuff from treepad to snippets

Daniel,
I think the default for AllowZero is true,
so the optional code would be ;

Code: [Select]

//getIntOpt.AllowZero = false;.. yes ?


might be interesting to play with defaults too.
... and keywords.
[ aside: now there is a subject for a tutorial ]

Your right, I just threw that in there, But you got where I was going with the idea.

Daniel, That TreePad piccy looks interesting .. is it a code Library ?

DUH .. trust me to ask the obvious

It’s just something I was using to get me by until Troy
Is done with his project. Hint Hint…

I'd forgotten about these in the pursuit of coding nirvana...nice work there Kerry.
