Hi Guzman,

You say:

" when you do programming, you don't reinvent the
wheel"

But you are not "doing programming".  You are
doing an exercise set by
your professor to test your understanding of some concept.

There is no reason why you or anyone else should not turn to
lists such
as this for help, but you should have made a reasonable
effort to solve
the problem yourself before coming here.  I cannot speak for
anyone
else, but my experience is that newsgroups and mailing lists
are happy
to help people who make an effort to help themselves:
however they do
not take kindly to being used by people who, maybe
mistakenly, appear to
be simply too lazy to try work out the problem for
themselves.

Now, if you can show any evidence of having made a fair
attempt at
answering the question yourself, I'm sure that people here
will be happy
to help you see where you might be going wrong, or to help
you improve
on your solution.

I doubt that anyone will want to do your homework for you:
but I could
be wrong, of course.

Peter

Hi Peter,

don't worry, I don't want you to waste your time in doing,
as you call
it, my homework. As you probably already know (I hope for
you), when
you do programming, you don't reinvent the wheel everytime
and you make
use of functions, routines, procedures, scripts, classes
(expecially
for the most common tasks) somebody else has already written
for you.
Sometimes is then worth to spend some time in checking if
the tool you
need has been already developed, maybe by Microrosft itself
(the web is
full of code made available by developers, I bet you know
that). I
don't like to point out things that are obvious, but my
trivial request
was meant in that sense, that is: if somebody is aware of
something (a
web link, a piece of code, an article etc.) that can help me
accomplish
this task (and not, of course, in asking you or other
members of this
community to do the work for me). Thanks anyway for your
interest

Thanks for your answer Peter,
just as a final note: I am actually doing real programming
and not
(unfortunately for me) doing any exercise: there isn't any
professor
here (unless you don't want to call my boss that way  ) and I am
not
trying to save any brain energy (only time);  the  ASP.NET
application
I am developing is getting text inpurt from a datagrid and
stores it
into an Access database which then has to produce an Access
report
accurately formatted (regarding margins, width and heigth)
because it
has to be printed out in a preformatted sheet (containing
already drawn
out boxes, rows, lines) by a particular printer, hence my
need in .NET
procedures for string manipulation (and for text wrapping,
like the php
function wrap I checked on the web). That's why I made some
searches on
the web and also posted my request to this google newsgroup.
Cheers
