IT & Infrastructure

Up and down... Sorry if the site has been up and down like a yo-yo. Just trying to tune SQLServer and the scripts. Don't you hate it when you develop on one machine (eg my slow laptop), transfer it to another (eg fast server) and the app runs slower. This is fun right? right? cheers, Chris Maunder

There are articles here at CP on skins. The Search feature is your friend. :) --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/

WTL and Atilla are covered topics here at CodeProject, and also at CodeGuru... -=- James.

> But if I try the same syntax for a 3D one like > float *mat= new float[80][100][10]; > it says cannot convert 'float [*][100][10]' to 'float *' (- The new expression degrades into "float (*)[100][10]", actually -) That is because "float *mat" declars a pointer to a float, or in this case, a pointer to a single dimensional array of floats. You need to declare the pointer to be a pointer to an array of multidimensional arrays of floats (or something like that: an array of two-dimensional arrays), like this: float (*p3dFloats)[100][10]; p3dFloats = new float[80][100][10]; -=- James.

Fixed. I deleted all the files in my system Temp directory and this solved the problem. I got the idea to do this reading a MS KB article that explained that View Source will break if the TMP variable references an invalid directory. Not exactly the same problem, but hey, I'm now golden to view source.

I have looked for this too. It is difficult to find. One place do I remember is the "3D Studio MAX SDK": One of the lightning/time-zone plug-ins has a few (simple) maps, and code to show it! regards bjarke www.viksoe.dk - all my source code

I think the problem would be that the XML would add a lot of overhead. Either you put all your code in a single entity (say one for each function) or you have an entity for each line or each statement. That could add many times more "code" to the already existing code. Although it would make commenting a little easier I think ;)

Hi, I think that part of the fault lies in the magazines and catalog vendors. When I was creating and selling development products, I was advertising in various magazines and catalogs. In 1993, Dr. Dobbs was charging about $5000 for a full page color ad. Distributors like Programmer's Shop and Programmer's Connection wanted a lot of money and hefty discounts for their ads. When Miller Freeman bought Dr Dobbs, they raised the price of ads by a huge amount. Since I stopped selling programming products in 1995, I have stopped tracking magazine and catalog ad rates, but I am sure that they have more than doubled since then. I have not subscribed to the developer mags in a few years, and I have no idea what mags are still in business. But, if Miller Freeman has a monopoly on all of them, I can bet you that they are contributing mightly to the high cost of programming tools. -marc

Alex, You can add a wide variety of html tags to your postings on CP, so if you want to make a link 'clickable' you need to put it in as an anchor tag. In the following example, I'll use round brackets but you should use greater than and less than instead when you actually use it: (a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?URL=/library/techart/desipat.htm")http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?URL=/library/techart/desipat.htm(/a) and if you actually use the gt and lt symbols, it looks like this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?URL=/library/techart/desipat.htm Looks complicated, but it's pretty easy when you get the hang of it.
