I've been doing some research and I've been seeing many things about something called LINQ. It looks like a way to build complicated SQL queries but it is very hard to understand. Does anyone have any tips that would help LINQ make more sense?

I made my own query and I had this error pop up:
Cannot perform 'Like' operation on System.DateTime and System.String.

I don't understand why I get this error but this is my code.

In the video Making a game with Java part 3, i=I cant figure out why but its telling me "The field Component.y is not visible" here's my code:[code2=java]package levelEditor;
import java.awt.Canvas;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.awt.image.BufferStrategy;


public class LevelEditor
extends Canvas
implements KeyListener, Runnable, MouseListener{


private Object[][] grid = new Object[50][50];
private Graphics bufferGraphics = null;
private BufferStrategy bufferStrategy = null;
private boolean running;
private Thread thread;


public LevelEditor(Dimension size)
{
this.setPreferredSize(size);
this.addKeyListener(this);
this.thread = new Thread(this);
this.addMouseListener(this);
running = true;


}


public void paint(Graphics g)
{
if (bufferStrategy == null)
{
this.createBufferStrategy(2);
bufferStrategy = this.getBufferStrategy();
bufferGraphics = bufferStrategy.getDrawGraphics();
this.thread.start();
}
}

public void run() {
//THis is what runs when the level editor is running
while(running)
{
DoLogic();
Draw();
DrawBackBufferToScreen();
Thread.currentThread();
try
{
Thread.sleep(10);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

}

public void DoLogic()
{

}
public void Draw()
{
bufferGraphics = bufferStrategy.getDrawGraphics();
try
{
bufferGraphics.clearRect(0, 0, this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height);
for (int x = 0; x < grid.length; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < grid.length; y++);
{
Object o = grid[x][y]; //the problem line
if (o instanceof Block)
{
Block blockToDraw = (Block)o;
blockToDraw.draw(bufferGraphics);
}
}
}



}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
bufferGraphics.dispose();
}
}
public void DrawBackBufferToScreen()
{
bufferStrategy.show();
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync();
}

@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
int mouseX = e.getX();
int mouseY = e.getY();

mouseX = (mouseX / 25);
mouseY = (mouseY / 25);

grid [mouseX][mouseY] = new Block(mouseX * 25, mouseY * 25);
}




public void keyPressed(KeyEvent arg0) {


}
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent arg0) {

public void keyTyped(KeyEvent arg0) {

This was about 1/2 way thru the video.
the nasty red text said this "Exception in thread "Thread-1" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
The field Component.y is not visible

Hey all! I think within the next two weeks if I can find a decent recording software that I will demonstrate the basics of using Visual C++! Of course this may be delayed due to school about to start but if anybody is really interested then I will make a video.

This is the link to a website I made for school last year.

Most of the pictures were taken by me.

Howdy everyone. I have been trying to build queries for my workplace in the program I made them but I came across a problem. My workplace has some of the worst names for data fields I have ever seen. My problem is when I try to make a query for a field the field will have a name such as Order Received. How do I make it so I can create queries with fields with more than 1 word?

The other day I was working on someone's computer whose internet would intermittently disappear. I had no way of tracking exactly when the internet would fail, however, so I created a piece of software that would do it for me. Behond, the BrandonSoft Network Status Checker. It also has a taskbar icon, so you don't have to have the annoying window open all of the time.

Yo. I was bored and wondering if anyone plays Starcraft 2, Battlefield 3, Diablo 3. I play BF3 on PS3 and PC. Minecraft as well.

Still got my WoW account but I haven't played in atleast 5 months due to boredom.

I've been taking quick glances at VS2012 but it does not strike me as VS2010 did. What are your opinions.

I have been doing some work with queries on my program and they are not the easiest things to deal with. It would be cool to see how to make a fuzzy logic query in vb.net that queries a datagridview. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

Just recently my workplace asked me to create a query for every single field of a 38 field database. I created two
Menu Strips that are loaded with menu's that lead to a textbox that has the query. However. On the second menu there is an issue where I am unable to edit the menu's in the second Menu Strip. It won't let me click on them even though there is a little sub-menu attached.

There is a attachment that show what is happening. Watch my mouse cursor. The second menu will not display its sub-menus
