The article/framework is going to be based on the stuff in Richard Dawkins' books The Selfish Gene and The Blind Watchmaker - and there's a heap of material at EvoWeb that might be of interest.

However, I'm not sure that MinimumVale and MaximumValue should be specified by the IGene implementor or be a factor of the environment? I'd be happier with the latter as it seems to fit better with biological evolution but it isn't as easy to implement...thoughts?

It might seem odd, but I'd really like a primer on how a loner like myself can make money out of a webapp.
I can't work it out, so I can't explain it to my accountant.

I'm writing a tutorial on creating Word2000 addins using VC++/ATL. In it I'm also discussing the VBA side of Word. It is almost written though I have to edit it a bit.
Anyone else here planning to write something similar, let me know.

I've been writing Word Addin's for the past 2 years. Send me the article when it's ready and I'll review it.
Cheers,

Hi,
Sorry! I should have probably posted earlier that my article has been published here.
But let me also ask you this. How do I create an Outlook's New button style'd button? If you notice, clicking on the button performs an action while clicking on the downward arrow displays a menu. I cannot ever create a CommandBarControl without styles = 10(popup) or 2(button). It looks like there are two buttons wedged together, and that makes sense. One is a CommandBarButton while the other is a CommandBarPopup that are very close to each other. I can get a 'separator' with setting BeginGroup property and handling each objects click event would make it possible to do 2 different things. But visually I can never quite get it cool enough.

Hi...
Can somebody write a convertor from C++ headers to C#...
I mean convertion of fucntion declaration:
example:
in c++ in header structs and functions look like:
<br />
typedef struct tagCREATESTRUCTA {<br />
LPVOID lpCreateParams;<br />
HINSTANCE hInstance;<br />
HMENU hMenu;<br />
HWND hwndParent;<br />
int cy;<br />
int cx;<br />
int y;<br />
int x;<br />
LONG style;<br />
LPCSTR lpszName;<br />
LPCSTR lpszClass;<br />
DWORD dwExStyle;<br />
} CREATESTRUCTA, *LPCREATESTRUCTA;<br />
<br />
WINGDIAPI int WINAPI GetDIBits( IN HDC, IN HBITMAP, IN UINT, IN UINT, OUT LPVOID, IN OUT LPBITMAPINFO, IN UINT);<br />
in c#
<br />
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]<br />
public struct CREATESTRUCT<br />
{<br />
IntPtr lpCreateParams; <br />
IntPtr hInstance; <br />
IntPtr hMenu; <br />
IntPtr hwndParent; <br />
int cy; <br />
int cx; <br />
int y; <br />
int x; <br />
Int32 style; <br />
string lpszName; <br />
string lpszClass; <br />
UInt32 dwExStyle; <br />
}<br />
<br />
[DllImport("gdi32")]<br />
public static extern int GetDIBits(IntPtr hDC, IntPtr hbm, int StartScan, int ScanLines, int lpBits, BITMAPINFOHEADER bmi, int usage);<br />
Languages is simmilar enough and conversion can be done by simple words replace and strings movements
Good Luck

All WIN32 structures are already converted in this file : WIN32API.txt ( vc7installdir \ Common7 \ Tools \ Bin ).
It's not using the C# syntax, but that's pretty close.
If you are having problems with P/Invoke, consider using MC++ mix mode.

good, but not enough

Is there a VB->C# translator?
|
|
|
|
|
There is a C#->VB .NET Converter[^] , but I don't kow of a VB->C# converter.
I'm working on one based on the SharpDevelop[^] refactory, but it won't be done for a little while. (Long term project, not short term goal.)

I don't know yet if it's good or not, but a translator[^] was posted on CodeProject a few days ago.

I have no damn time, but what I think is a totally brilliant idea.... and I am giving it away.
A version control system that runs off of the FTP protocol.
This allows people that want to collaberate on something have to do nothing more than pay for some decent web hosting space that allows FTP access and get a distributed version control server.
There, now someone please write it, make millions and giv eme a copy so I can use it on a project that I am working on rigth now!
I hate the GotDotNet workspaces!

Something similar is in the works, and will be a killer solution when it is finished. It's called subversion, and uses WebDAV. It's meant to be a CVS replacement. It's currently in Alpha, and I'm really looking forward to when they finally release it. Check out http://subversion.tigris.org

I used a program called ReGet which altered the popup menues on Internet Explorer. I'd like to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I'm completely new to windows and don't have a clue where to start looking

I know I've references to articles on how to go about blocking popup ads in WebBrowsers in the past. Today I've been searching and can't find them. Anyone know where I might look?
|
|
|
|
|

 Man, I guess my searching skills are poor this morning. Or maybe the searching technology on CodeProject is a bit lean? Not quite up to google standards.
Anyway, thanks a bunch. Just what I remember seeing in the past.

Use http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en and set the domain to codeproject.com.
I love CP but the search engine is severly lacking.

I have a DLL file with some function in it and want to use one of the functions but I havent any details about it parameters. 
I like to know if is any way or any program to solve my problem 
|
|
|
|
|
If you have Dependency Walker installed (comes with VC, or go to www.dependencywalker.com[^] to download it), you can open the DLL in there to get a list of contained exported functions and their parameter types - but not the meaning of those param's.
