Random String

This function provides the reverse of a string. It is constructed using string builder because strings in .NET are immutable, while stringbuilders are not. Therefore large strings could be slow to reverse if a regular string was used for the working value that is returned.

To create a chatprogram in java we need 2 classes one for Client and one for Server from which the client will be able to connect and exchange text messages. to compile the code simply type these commands in command prompt window:-
1)ipconfig(memorize the Ip address)
2)javac client.java
3)javac server.java
4)java server 10.69.23.203 (You need to type your own ip address)
5) After this you need to open another command prompt window(Make sure the server command prompt window is also open). now type:
java client 10.69.23.203
Thats it.
if anyone have any problems please post a comment and i will answer all of your questions or if you are having trouble in compiling.

I was looking for an easy way to populate a combo box with strings taken from an enumeration, and also to be able to pull out Enum objects from the combo box. After some searching, I found EnumComboBoxModel on the JDesktop website, but was not able to find any code.

Instead I came up with an easier solution that did not require me to define a new Model class, but instead uses javax.swing.DefaultComboBoxModel.

Sorry for the disorganization of the code, but hopefully you get the idea.

Customize JSlider Labels

Given a string, you can return an Enum value
