I'm glad you got it figured out. If I had had more time, I might have messed around a little with it myself and been able to give you a better answer. =)

>>There's a .NET forum here too, where this post might have gotten a quicker response. Anyway, have you read the Help topics on operator overloading? How have they explained it to you in the C# class that you're taking? I've not actually done any operator overloading, but it seems pretty straightforward. I found some examples in the Help, here's an example of an overloaded + operator in a struct (could be used in a class as well, like your Hand class):
>>

>>public struct Complex
>>{
>>   public int real;
>>   public int imaginary;
>>
>>   public Complex(int real, int imaginary)
>>   {
>>      this.real = real;
>>      this.imaginary = imaginary;
>>   }
>>
>>   // Declare which operator to overload (+), the types
>>   // that can be added (two Complex objects), and the
>>   // return type (Complex):
>>   public static Complex operator +(Complex c1, Complex c2)
>>   {
>>      return new Complex(c1.real + c2.real, c1.imaginary + c2.imaginary);
>>   }
>>   // Override the ToString method to display an complex number in the suitable format:
>>   public override string ToString()
>>   {
>>      return(String.Format("{0} + {1}i", real, imaginary));
>>   }

>>>It's a card game (great real-world example, huh) with a Deck class and a Hand class. Both have card arrays that contain card objects. I'm trying to overload the + operator of the Hand class so that I can get a card from the deck array into the hand array. This is a requirement of the lab, not something I decided to do on my own.
