Re: Do while loop question I finally figured it out and got it to work I was leaving out 1 small line. Thanks everyone for your help. Moving on to the final pattern.

There's an oddity to that pattern that will take a bit more effort. The lines alternate. If they were all the same, that would be easier, but the alternating does add a modest amount of interest, as you will need to keep track of what the starting character needs to be.

Re: Do while loop question You'll want to post your code up to see how you are outputting this. Also is this homework? __________________ A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in Signature. Signature reference not set to an instance of an object.

Re: Do while loop question You may think of putting another outer loop that will insert the line breaks(new line character) and also control how many lines of $*$* to put on console (may be take the user input).

Re: Do while loop question I would start with two For loops and a boolean for the last char, when the inner loops stops, set the bool to not itself then at the start of the next iteration check the bool. __________________ Currently using: VS 2005 & 2008 Pro w/sp1 on WinXP Pro w/sp3.

Re: Do while loop question You can check for even and odd rows to determine which character to begin with. Then just alternate between the two characters. e.g. like this: (not tested code) vb.net Code: Private Sub Button1_Click ( ByVal sender As System. Object , ByVal e As System. EventArgs ) Handles Button1. Click     Const MaxRows As Integer = 10     Const MaxColumns As Integer = 15...

Re: Do while loop question Use a counter and increment it with every loop. If n Mod 2 is 0, then output $*$*$*$*$*$*, otherwise output *$*$*$*$*$*$.
