    <p>This method is taken from Murach's C# 2010 book and is given as an example of an method that checks if a string contains a decimal value:</p> <pre><code> // the new IsDecimal method public bool IsDecimal(TextBox textBox, string name) { //make sure the string only contains numbers and numeric formatting string s = textBox.Text; int decimalCount = 0; bool validDecimal = true; foreach (char c in s) { if (!( c == '0' || c == '1' || c == '2' || // numeric chars c == '3' || c == '4' || c == '5' || c == '6' || c == '7' || c == '8' || c == '9' || c == '.' || c == '$' || c == '%' || c == ',' || // formatting chars c == ' ' )) { validDecimal = false; break; } if (c == '.') { decimalCount++; } } // end loop if (validDecimal &amp;&amp; decimalCount &lt;= 1) { return true; } else { MessageBox.Show(name + " must be a decimal number.", "Entry Error"); textBox.Focus(); return false; } } </code></pre> <p>My question is about this if statement and boolean value:</p> <pre><code> if (validDecimal &amp;&amp; decimalCount &lt;= 1) { return true; } </code></pre> <p>I understand that it should be checking if both validDecimal returns true from above loop and that there is only one decimal point present. I'm quite confused by this, my understanding of bool is that it can hold two values: 1 = true and 0 = false; in both of those cases that if statement would be satisfied (0 is smaller than 1 and 1 is equal). I'm thinking that correct if statement would look something like that: if (validDecimal == true &amp;&amp; decimalCount &lt;= 1) but since I'm beginner I'm not sure and this isn't in the errata for this book.</p>

    1. COMy eyes are bleeding on this code. I hope Murach never put this into production. What's being taught here? The art of spaghetti-craft? I'll have $%%%$,,%.%$$$ please.

    3. COThat would very much depend on the level at which you are trying to learn and your background/education, and what you are hoping to get out of it. If you feel like you're learning from this (it sounds like you are), stick with it. I'm probably not the best person to ask as the books I'd recommend would IMO be difficult for a beginner, but I've often found OReilly books to be well edited and informative.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
