Please can someone do me a favour and run a C# test for me
-
I realise this sounds a bit pathetic, but I have developed a workaround for a weakness in the pictureBox class, and I will publish it as an article on CodeProject. However I haven't yet upgraded from VC2005 (as a freelancer I am having trouble getting work in these straightened times and don't reall want to shell out for VS2010 just at the moment). Before I publish I would like to check whether the problem has been solved in later versions of .NET. I have a test program all ready. If someone with VS2010 could spare half an hour to run the test it would save me wasting my and everyone else's time on an unecessary article.

VS2010 comes in Express versions http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/[^] - that way you can evaluate your software at no charge to you...
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Digital man: "You are, in short, an idiot with the IQ of an ant and the intellectual capacity of a hose pipe."

You don't need Visual Studio to compile against .net anyway. I recommend learning to make do without it.

Interesting! What do you use then?

Doh!. Thanks OriginalGriff. I didn't even realise they did a free Express version. That's done the trick. What an idiot!!

csc.exe (C Sharp Compiler) is included in each version of the .NET framework. Command line only, but it works.

You need to understand the difference between Visual Studio, which is an IDE, and csc which is the compiler. You can use both independently, although you need the compiler to build projects from within VS.
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

The only weakness with the PictureBox class is actually using it. It's the most over-abused control in the entire ToolBox. What weakness are you talking about?

Right, I compile at the command line[^], like a real man. Compiling WinForms applications is more complex, and I haven't written anything about it, but it's not a big deal. Otherwise, I recommend using an Express edition.

Dave KreskowiakI agree it's not very good. I was quite surprised to find that it does actually support animated GIFs, and then unsurprised to find that it doesn't support them properly by implementing a non-infinite number of loops.
