A simple line graph without 3D Vista spinning glitzery should be very simple to draw.

8 ms? That's an animation not a graph. I don't think that is very realistic unless it's part of game or something.

Yes, it can be realistic: for example if you are receiving data from an external sensor that sends a point every 8 msec. Of course, the rendering won't be displayed every 8 msec because of the delays in the chain but the user won't see a difference (sometimes data will be enqueued and processed later for example).

There's still no reason to redraw faster than a monitor is refreshing 
I'd personally save my CPU cycles for other work and throttle the redraws
down to 25-50 FPS (even 50 would be overkill) - there wouldn't be any visible
difference.

One 'reason' would be that the chart control you are using doesn't support refreshing at constant rate . Most of the time, you add a point to a series and the control displays it immediately. But you can do that in a better way (like I did for my control for example  ): in the case of my chart control, adding a point to a series will only draw the missing segment. But of course that only happen under a certain condition: if the axes are not automatic for example (the control doesn't need to be refreshed in that case).
Another solution would be to store those points in your application and draw several of them at a certain time. But then you'll need to use a timer to trigger the redrawing of the points (or a thread).

now I'm making networking program.
I wanna send ICMP to network computers.
but one to one corresponding processing spend too many time.
so i have one question ICMP is possible to be sent by Multicast?
if it is possilbe, could you show me the code?
thank you intersted in my article

The answer is yes but only if all the routers/hubs/switches involved in handling the packets at every stage support multicasting. If all your network kit is newish top brands and or managed you'll probably be fine, any cheap and cheerful switches hidden away at the back of a cupboard that get involved may well break your system by failiing to route the multicast packets or just plain falling over in a heap. Sorry I have no relevant source code I just used to work with some multicast gurus a few years ago.

In our project after fixing an issue or enhancement , it works well in DEBUG mode.But it doesnt work in RELEASE mode.We work on VC6.0 and COM.
I couldnt understand why it doesnt work in Release mode.So Strange!
What could be the possible reasons ?
Awaiting your replies,
Anandi VC.

I have to enable DHCP using win32API i.e. I have to get connected to it,then obtain IP address and then get release from DHCP.does anyone know how to accomplish this in vc++.

The DHCP API[^] may help.
The IP Helper API[^] has some functions that use DHCP
You can always use the protocol[^] directly through sockets.

I use _countof, but could pass the compilation.
And I search the MSDN, found just included in the <stdlib.h>, and I #include <stdlib.h>,
but still could not pass the compilation, please unlock my mind!
Many thanks.

Can you show us your code?
|
|
|
|

What header file did you include?
Could you please post your code?
Does your system satisfy the requirements stated by the documentation?

BTW which version of VS/.NET framework do you use. AFAIK this function is available in VS2005/.NET framework (2.0) and above
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

.NET framework has nothing to do with this issue.

I have encountered the same problem like yours and the IDE is visual C++ 6.0 , the system is sp3

Are you sure it's not something simple like:
#define _countof(arr) (sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]))

Sorry for not telling clearly what platform I'm using!
I use VC6.0 and xp sp2,
I don't know why _countof undeclared. I substitude the code '_countof' using (sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0])).
But I still want to know why _countof not working?
