Hi I have an issue with Path.Combine that it does not return the corect result. Here is what I mean.I ave to combine 4 strings into a bath:  string basePath = "D:\\Programare\\Visual Studio\\TFS Workspace\\CodeArt\\Development\\CodeArt\\Backend\\WebApi\\CodeArt.WebApi\\bin\\..\\Content\\" string userId = "4d52ec77-966a-480a-a4c3-c1ff67438fe9"; string filePath = "\\Avatar"; string storageFileName = "ffdc24a9-f553-41ce-aa33-042b07fcfdab.png";  var result  = Path.Combine(basePath , userId , filePath , storageFileName);   Now for some reason my this code returns only "\Avatar\ffdc24a9-f553-41ce-aa33-042b07fcfdab.png".  Am I doing something wrong why am aint Path.Combine concatantes all the string.
From the Immediate Window in Visual Studio:   &gt; Path.Combine(@"C:\x", "y") "C:\\x\\y" &gt; Path.Combine(@"C:\x", @"\y") "\\y"   It seems that they should both be the same.    The old FileSystemObject.BuildPath() didn't work this way...
Prove the divisibility test by $7,11,13$ for numbers more than six digits How do I delete unwanted Apple ID's? I'm going thru a phone swap, and I now realize that I have multiple ID's   "codename" "codename@example.com" "realname@example.com"   I've tested all three, and they all have different login passwords. Not sure how I got here but I'd like to clean the mess up.  Is there any way to delete / remove / erase unwanted ID's so they don't exist anymore?  (Note: their existence creates total havoc with any type of ID edit...)  I see from  that I can't merge the apple ID's, but can I simply delete the unwanted ID's? The book says:     Concentration. Some spells require you to maintain concentration in order to keep   their magic active. If you lose concentration, such a spell ends.   So what happens if, for example, you are already concentrating on a spell, and cast Witch Bolt without concentrating. Would you get the initial arc of blue energy, or would it not even go off?  I am asking if you can cast a spell that says concentration without concentrating for an immediate effect. This would be useful to avoid interrupting your existing concentration. In essence, if you are concentrating on thing A (doesn't have to be a spell since other things need concentration), can you cast a concentration spell getting an immediate effect without losing concentration on thing A?  Since the definition of concentration is to keep the spell active (meaning it is already active) I would think that you would get the initial effect (if it had one) without the need to concentrate on it. Why are you not able to declare a class as static in Java? Why is the edit button disabled? I edited some questions before, but now I get an error message when clicking the edit button. I thought there was a problem with the specific question, but I cannot click it on any question.  What's going on? I'm not sure if this is possible architecturally, but when judging whether to set a bounty and how much it should be, it would be nice to see the impact based on our previous questions. If you're not visiting the site throughout the day, there is no way to tell how effective that bounty might be--particularly for increasing traffic. There is a similar question with adding and removing tags that increase the visibility in the right places, and the effect on views that may have.

When writing documents, I consider it to be necessary that all figures and tables are referenced (\ref) in the text, whether or not I've remembered to \label them. LaTeX does not currently warn if a figure or table is not referenced. Is there a way to ensure that this is flagged up as a warning?  Note that I am specifically concerned about figures and tables, not chapter or section headings; it will be no good looking just at \labels that don't have an associated \ref.  In other words, it should report boo and not report bla in the following MWE:  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \section{BLA}\label{bla} \section{BOO}\label{boo} In Section~\ref{bla} we do something. \end{document} Can I use my familiar to cast Warding Bond on myself? Find Familiar lets you cast touch spells through your familiar. Warding Bond is a Touch spell, that creates a connection between "you and the target". I can't find anything against it, but would it be possible to have my Wizard make his familiar cast Warding Bond on the Wizard himself, so that the Wizard gets the +1 to AC and saving throws and resistance to damage?  I realized after I wrote this much that Wizards don't get Warding Bond, but I think the question is still valid for multiclassers. If a maximal subgroup is normal, it has prime index I'm having trouble with an exercise in "Introduce to the theory of group" book. This is problem:  Let $M$ be a maximal subgroup of $G$. Prove that if $M$ is a normal subgroup of $G$, then $[G: M]$ is finite and equal to a prime. Based on , I figured that there might be multiple questions for distinct locales. Why do the most common transactions to or from bank accounts in the US require waiting one or more days before they are completed? In the information age, it seems like we should be able to transfer money instantly (or nearly so). How do I catalog files on several external hard drives that I want to store off-line? I have quite a few external hard drives that I want to store off-line, and possibly off-site.  The contents is not saved in a structured manner, however; basically  there's lots of project data for lots of projects.  Is there any software for Windows XP that will catalog all the hard drives, so I can search the catalog, find the files, and get the ID of the disk that has the content?

A prelim problem asked to prove that if $X$ is a compact metric space, and $f:X \to X$ is an isometry (distance-preserving map) then $f$ is surjective. The official proof given used sequences/convergent subsequences and didn't appeal to my intuition. When I saw the problem, my immediate instinct was that an isometry should be "volume-preserving" as well, so the volume of $f(X)$ should be equal to the volume of $X$, which should mean surjectivity if $X$ is compact. The notion of "volume" I came up with was the minimum number of $\epsilon$-balls needed to cover $X$ for given $\epsilon &gt; 0$. If $f$ were not surjective, then because $f$ is continuous this means there must be a point $y \in X$ and $\delta &gt; 0$ so that the ball $B_\delta(y)$ is disjoint from $f(X)$. I wanted to choose $\epsilon$ in terms of $\delta$ and use the fact that an isometry carries $\epsilon$-balls to $\epsilon$-balls, and show that given a minimum-size cover of $X$ with $\epsilon$ balls, that a cover of $X$ with $\epsilon$-balls could be found with one fewer ball if $f(X) \cap B_\delta(y) = \emptyset$, giving a contradiction. Can someone see a way to make this intuition work? What is the appropriate statistical test when calculating the busiest day of the week? We have 10 years of data and Monday is the busiest (most visits to the hospital) on average. If we wanted to assess whether that is true and report a p-value, what is the appropriate statistic?   We believe the answer is chi-square as we found a peer-reviewed medical article from the Annals of Emergency Medicine (highest circulating journal for that specialty) that used chi-square for this very calculation.   If chi-square is appropriate, what values do we use for observed and expected values for chi-square? One approach would be to list all the values for Monday as observed values, or all the means for Mondays averaged across a month, or all the means for Mondays averaged across a year.  If there were no busiest or least busy days, we would assume that the visits would be the same every day of the week. That means our "expected values" for Chi-Square would be the mean of the visits for any given week.

Updating entities in response to collisions - should this be in the collision-detection class or in the entity-updater class? ^x^y unix trick for all instances in last command? One of my favorite Unix tricks is ^x^y, which will take the last command and replace the first instance of "x" with "y". However, I'm wondering if a similar trick works to replace all instances of "x" with "y" in the last command? Prove or disprove an inequality involving complex numbers Consider following inequality:     $|z_1 + z_2|\ge|z_1| - |z_2|  \  \ \ \ \ \  z_1,z_2 \in \mathbb{C}$   Is that true always? I tried many examples and it was correct but I don't know how to prove that if it's right. Dell Inspiron 3551 Unresponsive Touchpad I just got my laptop in the mail and I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
