Yes, in fact exceptions are the recommended error-handling mechanism in C# (and in .NET in general). Most of the .NET framework classes use exceptions to signal errors.

Yes. Converting use to categories which may be assessed as 'undeveloped' (s.70.32(2)(a)5), 'agricultural forest' (s.70.32(2)(a)5m), 'productive forest lands' (s.70.32(2)(a)6), or 'other' (s.70.32(2)(a)7) does not subject the owner to a penalty. There is no penalty if the penalty per-acre would be less than $25. No. A literal reading of the statutes is that there is only one conversion from agricultural land. If that conversion is to a favored category, the conversion is without penalty.

C++ is a superset of something, we're not sure what. You can use a C++ compiler to compile C code, but the results may surprise you.

Checked exceptions are a very hotly debated topic in some circles, particularly for experienced Java developers moving to, or additionally learning, C#. Here are some resources that discuss the issue in depth: Note that without the CLR itself supporting checked exceptions, it would be effectively impossible for C# to do so alone.

You sure can. There really are two ways. You can use it directly, or through one of the C++ wrappers for Motif. Much of this is discussed in the Motif FAQ which can be found at Ken Lee's website at http://www.rahul.net/~kenton Using LessTif directly with C++ prompts the question on how to use class member functions as callbacks.

No, C# has no direct equivalent of the C++ typedef. C# does allow an alias to be specified via the using keyword: using IntList = System.Collections.Generic.List<int>; but the alias only applies in the file in which it is declared. A workaround in some cases is to use inheritance: public class IntList : List<int> { }

No, you should not use a rechargeable battery with your Seiko Cleancut and here's why. The speed of any DC motor is directly related to the voltage of the power supply; the higher the voltage the faster the motor turns. By their nature rechargeable batteries do not have as high a voltage as alkaline batteries. For instance a fresh alkaline "C" cell, which is a 1.5 volt battery, will test out as high as 1.6 volts right out of the package.

Yes. First of all, since you can call C functions from C++ you can access all the DCE services from a C++ program. But that will not give you the benefits of C++. There are several packages that provide a C++ interface to DCE. They different quite a bit in style and approach, so you'll need to consider them carefully in light of your own needs and preferences. Objtran was produced by Citibank, and is available by anonymous ftp at ftp://wilma.cs.brown.edu/pub/Objtran.tar.

You need to place the explosives into a cabinet which is located somewhere in the middle of the bridge, between some barrels. Examine the cabinet and drag the explosives in there.

MATLAB's MEX-file facility allows user to use C and Fortran subroutines as MATLAB m-files. It is also possible to use MATLAB as a computational engine for C/Fortran subroutines.
