<t>hi guys, back after a long break ;-0)<br/>
<br/>
its the same as in Python - the single and double equals signs.<br/>
<br/>
am now looking into Python and am writing an eBook as I go - for any who may be interested in the future.<br/>
<br/>
have made plenty of wood working projects in my time off ...

<t>Hi Chris (and others), <br/>
I have made good progress and now have a couple of different X# projects running within one X# solution - using VS Community 2019. I will report back in more detail tomorrow.<br/>
Chris, as you suggested, I also managed to install VS 2017 Community, on the same ...

What a shame - Good Luck !

<t>Hi guys, as you may have noticed I am trying to get back into using X# after a long period away (one year ?) and I am having to use only the latest VS free public version (community!?). Does the current Bandol version work with this version of VS?<br/>

<br/>
However, as a teacher and ...

<r>Hi Robert and all,<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for the multiple USING syntax.<br/>
<br/>
I have applied the syntax to part of a sample I am currently doing for ClickStartXSharp, involving Await methods in 'Stream' classes.<br/>
<br/>
The code is below - it reads one file and creates two more with the read ...

<t>Thanks for the explanation Robert.<br/>
<br/>
I am about to spend a few hours on some 'Async/Await/Task' examples and so I will use the USING and scope stuff just to see how it works etc.<br/>
<br/>
I am a bit like Chris, somewhere in between ;-0)<br/>
<br/>
But over the years with .NET I do tend ...
