all I can offer is: Good luck cheers Chris Maunder

Thanks for that. I had forgotten the account. So, I can promise to play nice and then forget it again. What a deal.:) >64 Some days the dragon wins. Suck it up.

I use Figma. Pretty useful for me. I can diagram and then share the diagrams with the customer and contractors [https://www.figma.com/\](https://www.figma.com/) If it ain't broke don't fix it Discover my world at jkirkerx.com

The first thing that pops into my head is to force the EXE and DLL to make their initial framework calls from separate threads and have the framework use a named mutex. Not elegant spawning a thread just to make a single function call and immediately waiting for that thread to finish, but it would work. Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors - and miss. Lazarus Long, "Time Enough For Love" by Robert A. Heinlein

Combine that with the extremely low failure rate for SSDs and people find that their 10-12 y/o systems still get the job done. The plateau ended a few years ago when mainstream desktop core counts stopped being capped at 4. The only reason I haven't replaced my 2014 CPU/mobo yet is that I'm waiting for AMDs next generation platform later this year. (For Intel I wouldn't bother, they cycle sockets every 2 years so there's no point; but AMD's 4ish year lifecycle is long enough to offer compatible parts that are worthwhile upgrades. Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

My observation is that if nobody is reporting any problem in a new feature, it's not because it's bug-free, it's because it's not being used. Then wait 6 months (after you've forgotten all the important details), *then* someone will find something and it'll take you forever to get re-acquainted with your own code...

Wonderful, thank you very much. :thumbsup: www.robotecnik.com[^] - robots, CNC and PLC programming

I put Stardock on equal footing with Apple (and that's quite an accomplishment). They've rubbed me the wrong way decades ago and they'll never get a penny out of me.

I'm pretty sure that VS2019 doesn't change the dump setting, so you might try the other two. Unfortunately this may not be something that's documented, unless you find it on a discussion forum. Software Zen: delete this;

I bought a Dell XPS 17 at the start of this year. It had Win 10 installed, but came with the Win 11 image as well. I figured eventually I would need to install it, so did the upgrade right off the bat. I find that Win 11 works smoothly, and seems to run faster overall. The only thing I am not fond of is the redesigned Start Menu - I liked having my favorites set up in clear groups, and room enough to show all the items I need without paging. I'll have to see what I can do about that...

As always. It depends. It depends on what the calculations are and how you write the code. There's no way for anyone to give you a direct answer for this. Asking questions is a skill CodeProject Forum Guidelines Google: C# How to debug code Seriously, go read these articles. Dave Kreskowiak
