Would be nice as an extension since the VS.NET IDE is more programmable, and as one can hardly say attributes are intuitive to use.

I am currently working on a papaer which takes self-contained applications and identifying directions and issues with deploying externalized DLL's, creating reference, and distributing component code. Is this an article that would could be published here? I did not see one written on this subject.

Yes Sir! It is my intent to publish it here. I posted this to see if this was the type of topic that the site would publish. After writing all of it up (it is done and in draft form...soon to go through an editting) I will submit it for publication here.

OUCH! That is one area that I have had trouble getting good answers (or any answer for that matter). When you get into .NET DLL's managed on an MTS box, is it a COM object to a .NET consumer??? I hope to put together the resources to begin evaluating and test this whole thing. Maybe for article II -- .NET objects in COM

How I create ram file ( to hear music by winamp ) ?
|
|
|
|
|
A .ram file is a RealVideo file. Download the RealProducer encoding tool from RealNetworks. From what I remember, the basic encoder is free.

Almost forgot, but that was obvious in my mind, you just need to download the Real Encoder SDK to get samples to do just that.

Hi everyone,
My name is Sidney and I need some advise regarding a search and retrieve problem. I am currenly studying and still learning C++. My problem is this, I am doing a search on a large flat file, this flat file is like my database with the following format
(Note this is a Fixed Length Flat File)
OriginalText L35
Punctuated L35
Code L5
===================
Total Length 75 (Each Record)
This is what my flat file looks like:
A A.
A A. 0
AB A.B. 0
AB AB 1
ACAD Acad. 4
ACR Acr. 4
ADJ Adj. 0
ADM Adm. 0
AGCY Agcy. 4
AK AK 1
AL AL 1
ALC Alc. 0
ALD Ald. 0
ALTA AB 1
AM A.M. 0
AMB Amb. 0
AND And
ANX Anx. 4

The main function of my program is to accept a parameter(text) search it in the the flat file (OriginalText Field in particular) if its found I will return the Punctuated Text on the calling program.
If i where to ask you what will you recommend to be the fastest way to make my search and return the value in the calling program? Here's my current program's code... and it runs very slow that's why i am seeking some advise from a guru like you to make my program run faster. This code is messy i'm telling you

Dear everyone,
This is my first question in this message board.I am not sure
whether the title is suitable for my question or not but by reading
my message, I guess that you can understand my problems.
I have created a simple program which retrives data written in
an .ini file(actually any text file will do).The data retrieved from the file
will be displayed at the combo box.I have created this part.
The problem here is that I want to hide the information written in the .ini
file from the users(Sometimes, there are information which we don't want the users to know).The user can update the application by downloading a new .ini file from a web side.In short,the update of the software only deals with the .ini file.
I think that most people will encrypt the .ini file and decrypt it
before loading the data into the combo box.I would like to do it in this
way but I don't have enough knowledge.I want to decrypt the encrypted .ini file into a buffer because if I decrypt the encrypted .ini into a file,
the user might see it.
Is there any other ways to do this?I just want to
1)Hide the .ini file content from the user and at the same time, I need to retrieve data from the file and display it at the combo box.
2)I want to update the .ini file.
Helps are needed.
Thanks alot.
From Joji.

I am writing a small tool to export registry sections in Xml to make it much easier whenever it comes to do a registry diff.
If anybody is willing to see a feature along with that, just let me know.;)

Hi all. I've been reading code project for a long time, but I've never posted anything here (well, not yet!) I'm currently working on a big C++ application and as part of that I decided it would be fun to write something to add shadows to all the popup windows in my app. Anyway, I came up with a library I'm calling Z'Ha'Dum, would anybody be interested in an article on that or has it already been done (I searched but couldn't find anything)?
You can get Z'Ha'Dum here:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mark.lord/zhadum/
It's under a zlib-like license (i.e., use freely just don't pretend you wrote it and credit would be nice).

Unfortunately I never saw the end of season 4 or any of season 5 (when it moved to cable). I am so getting the series on DVDs whenever it comes out.

I think you should go for it. It will make an interesting article. However, I would recommend that you add some more information about the technique used, why it does not work on Windows 9x/Me, ...etc.

Hello,
Does anybody know if there is a tool which will take a Dialog resource and display the names of the controls it contains rather than drawing the control itself.
I'm thinking about creating such a tool and write an article on it. I'd currently maintaining an application with dozens of hefty dialogs I want to tidy up and I'd find such a utility very useful.

Just to clarify this, I want to display a dialog which draws the name of each contained control at the position where that particular control would appear.
|
|
|
|
|
Where the name of the control is the ID that you gave it?
I don't know of a specific tool for this. But it sounds useful, as I never can remember the ID's I give to controls.
