I'm trying yousendit for the first time.

This url should give you my code. If it doesn't, let me know, I will send it 
to you direct.

The code I am asking about is in form1 near bottom. It uses a method in 
elevator.cs.

This is a practice piece. I've got an eleven floor elevator (0-10), and an 
image for each floor. This routine tests to see if the floor has an elevator 
car on it. If it does, it inserts a picture of an elevator. If it doesn't, 
it uses a picture of elevator cables. I am doing this as part of a 
portfolio, so I want it to LOOK cute, too!

thanks
Lasuras
