For graphics and vector manipulation? You'll tear your hair out trying to use VB.NET for such a thing. Two main reasons:
1. The C# syntax is unambiguous when you're referencing array/matrix/vector indices. In VB.NET, array access and function calls are syntactically identical.
2. Numeric manipulation. VB.NET conceals every rounding, casting, and floating point operation. It tries its best to figure out what you wanted and when precision matters, always gets it wrong unless you're very well versed in the language and know exactly when to cast and when not to.
Obviously either language WILL work for this and depending on your skill level, it may not make any difference. But like the previous poster says - if you've already got a background in C++/Java then C# will be easier to use.

Seems to depend mostly on your background which you'll prefer.
If you have experience with javascript, C++ or Java, you'll be most comfortable with C#.
If you have primarily done nothing but VB and VB script, you'll likely choose... that's right, VB.
If you don't like to be bothered with icky things like type safety and explicit conversion and confusing things like that, you'll be most confortable with VB.
If you like using the occational array, or are interested in readable syntax, or like behavior to follow what you wrote, you'll like C#.
If you like mystical built in 'functions' that won't convert to any other language and exist only for backward compatability, you'll like VB.
If you like pretty code that's nice and easy to read, you'll like C#.
If you like blocky crap with capitalized keywords that require extra typing or letting the IDE dump large chunks of code you may not have wanted, VB's your language.
If you like having no control what-so-ever over code or comment formating, VB's for you.
If you want to be part of the future, C#'s for you.
If you want to be on the stinky end of a sinking ship, VB's what you want.
Like I said, you'll be most comfortable with whatever you're most experienced with. And for the most part, your choice won't affect your options (technically they are both capable of producing the same results). It's really just a personal choice. But I won't taint your decision with my own personal choice.

Hi,
How can I connect a network printer to a user session via C#???
For example:
I want to connect "\\intranet\phaser" to my current user session and show up as a network-based printer in my local Printers and Faxes folder.

You should add the printer to your local
|

Thanks, but I got it. Here is what I did:
[DllImport("winspool.drv")]
public static extern bool AddPrinterConnection(string pName);
[DllImport("winspool.drv")]
public static extern bool SetDefaultPrinter(string printerName);
bool result = AddPrinterConnection(@"\\server\printer");
bool resultdef = SetDefaultPrinter(@"\\server\printer");

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the post! It worked for me.
Just had to add namespace System.Runtime.InteropServices for DllImport i.e. using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
Thanks again.

Am getting really tired searching this.
Can somebody help me with this?
What needs to be done is the editable gridview. on
GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
dsGrid = (DataSet)Cache["MyGrid"]; [dsGrid is populated with the grid before update]
}
I want to get the newVal when it is entered into the dataset and finally update the entire dataset by passing it to a stored proc.
Am not able to find the newVal and oldVal. I have gone thru msdn and there are Ordereddictionary, oldVal, newVal, key. All of these give me null values.
If you have any other suggestion, please help. I dont want to update row by row opening connection to the db everytime.
Any good suggestion is welcome.
Thanks

e.RowIndex itself is returning 0
protected void GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
e.RowIndex returns 0 in this function.
Am I missing out something? Please help

if u r using a template column,then u can use findcontrol to get the value.

How do I save Image with a different resolution?
I am using Image.Save(...)
I think it might have to do with Image.PropertyItems and using SetPropertieItem, but I am only finding info on id, length, value, and type.
|

I tried this...
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(currentImage);
b.SetResolution(150, 150);
b.Save(saveImageDialog.FileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Tiff);
and it didn't work, but I don't know why.
I will look at the size converter class. Thanks.

I think that it worked just fine, but it didn't do what you throught that it would do. The SetResolution method does set the resolution of the image, but what you want to do is to change the size of the image.
Create a new Bitmap object with the size that you want. Create a Graphics object for that bitmap using the Graphics.FromImage method. Use the DrawImage method to draw your image onto the bitmap with the desired size.

Well - I would tend to use Xslt and Xml to generate this report. That's the beauty of Xsl templates.

Ok, this problem involves C#, some web hosting knowledge, and a bit of ingenuity. basicly (and this probably sounds mad) i'm trying to write a chat program, but ive only got free hosting which only allows http access. i dont have a webserver and i dont want to pay for hosting. so i want something that basicaly can connect to a server via http (or ftp), write to and/or read from a file, and process it to turn it into messages.
solve that one!!!!
by the way frixoft is my freeware distribution website
