Yes, very helpful, but I hope you do realize that the question spans many fields, and expert in any of them could have the answer.

Yes it is very helpful to the other people on this site that freely give there time to help those asking for help. When you cross post someone that freely gives there time might be wasting it answering you in one forum when an entire conversation with you is going on in another forum. It is rude and inconsiderate of you to do that, period, end of story.

Now if you are feeling froggy and want to insult me again, JUMP.

First not every question demands a length conversation, and this is one of them. and this tiny little thing didn't got through your brain. How could it have been when you were jumping around forums just to see what went wrong.

Also, If some one cross-posts he/she should take responsibility for managing all conversations, you probably wouldn't have done that, but again not everyone is stupid like you. also I don't believe people cannot manage conversations with 4-5 individuals at the same time. and if the issues has been resolved in one of the posts, the one who started can politely thank those who participated and notify them about the status. Thats how it could work.

You cared to give a 1-rating to all the posts and reply with a stupid message. It seems you did jump like a frog, Now, everyone knows how you use your time, you undoubtedly are dumb.

Is ActiveX old technology these days?

Hi guys,

I've been asked to look at updating an ActiveX control but it's pretty nasty and I'm wondering if these days there are better technologies to use as alternatives to ActiveX. Currently it's developed with MFC7.1 and it's generated entirely longhand using CRect, CBrush, CFont etc. It's an engine RPM bar that is updated with RPM values and the bar scrolls up and down depending on the rpm value. It also has a few other features like colour changes if the rpm is within certain limits etc. I'm sure you get the gist.

Cheers,

Chris Chambers.

If we assume the use model of your control is to run in a Web Page in an IE browser (because you posted in the web development forum) then you might want to look into SilverLight and Flash and the other competitors in that space. However I don't believe you will find it a direct replacement for developing an ActiveX for other people to use in developing Web Pages for IE.

Thanks for your reply led mike.

You assume correctly, it is indeed to run in a web page in a browser. I did start to look at Silverlight but I thought I'd get some feedback from other people before I jumped in with both feet in case there were other alternatives I'd overlooked.

Cheers,

Chris.

I'm doing an application to send a simple email using the System.net.mail namespace and after progressing half way it comes back to say "The operation has timed out." forgive me if this the wrong forum.

Sure. How else is a "TIMEOUT" going to behave, of course it will happen "after some time" right?

Most likely you have no connectivity to the IP Address and/or port you are trying to connect to. You need to investigate why not. It could be that you provided a non existent address or that you are executing from behind a firewall or any number of other possible problems.
