tried 
you value of Pi, it is nice. it is calculating 5000 deimal places while I am 
typing. 
2 
suggestions 
- try put this up in the documents section of our group so 
that other folk can see this as a winforms sample, preferably with 
source
- we could have page where members contributions/examples 
could be linked back to your personal site, this way you'd have more people 
looking at the work you have done.

either way not many folk outside the .net world realise how 
flexible and powerful winforms are so a few examples would get 
attention.
Maybe You can add an entry under our Getting .Net page with 
a title as "Latest', that way it would be listed above the other sources. And 
after the relevant period is over we can simply delete them.

Thanks a lot Dolly!   Usage of multiple threads is one definite thing I will be 
implementing in the final release. Thanks for the comment.   The alg used in finding 
fractions is extremely simple, down-to-earth and i would even say quite 
unprofessional. As described in the 'help' section, I am working on it to make it more 
optimized. As of now, the alg works like this: I have 2 nested loops, the toppest one 
looping the Dividened values and the nested one looping the Divisor values. In each 
case, the value for division is found out and compared to that of the value of Pi 
calculated in the first tab page. If they are a approx the same, it's added to the 
list control. See? It's quite simple.  Accurate values are hard to get in short ranges 
if the number of decimal places of Pi used is above 4. So decrease the number of 
decimals and try it out again. Values popping into the list control is indeed quite 
exiting to watch :-)   Warm regards, Rakesh

Rakesh, good app. Keep up the good 
work.
 
My 
comments:
I tried for 3000 places. As it was 
calculatiung I switched between the tabs, the start button in Pi Fractions 
was disabled (Can't this be enabled ina separate thread?) until the first tab 
completed its calculation.
 
Also, I gave some nos in Dividend 
and Divisor and it said *** no. of possibilities on the left pane, but nothing 
showed up in the right??? I tried for different nos, same result..right pane 
remains blank..
 
The app does look good! I am yet to 
look at your algo..
 
Cheers,
Dolly

Thanks a lot rosh!   I had deleted my old site and am developing a new one. As soon as 
I have it up and running, I will link ALL my .NET works from here. In fact, I am 
thinking of developing some small utils like these for grabbing attention as u had 
said. Anything for .NET ! :-)   Warm regards, Rakesh Rajan
