Hello, I have been trying to find some resources for hosting a .NET winform control in a MFC \ COM app written in C++ 2003 (7.1). I could find help for .NET 2.0 and C++ 2005 but none for C++ 2003. Could anybody help? Thanks in advance.

I have been thinking of converting the entire presentation into images that I will display on a web page. MS Power Point allows you to save the entire presentations as images. Instead of embedding a new control, I think we can just make a simple interface with a few buttons and a timer and an image on the page to show the slides. Also MS Power Point allows you to save a whole presentation as a web page. This could also help. What do you feel about this?

Hi, I am a windows developer who has been working on windows applications for some time. However, I am now being offered to take up a new project, a web application for online training programs. Having been a C# programmer, I would like to see if it is possible to develop this on ASP.NET. I am unable to decide if ASP.NET will be sufficient to do the following. ->The program will include showing presentation slides. ->The entire presentation will be displayed only for a certain duration of time, for example 4 hrs 6 hrs etc. ->Each slide will be timed, the user will not be able to proceed to the next slide provided he has finished the allocated time for the slide. ->Presentations will be prepare in MS Power Point. and will be uploaded by the administrator. Please let me know if ASP.NET AJAX would be an adequate technology for this. Thanks in advance.

Exactly. Spreadsheets are good enough. But imagine a spreadsheet which sends you an email when something has changed + does not show fixed bugs + keeps track of the status throughout the life of the bug and records it for viewing later. That's a good enough bug tracking system for me.:)

I am not trying to be rude. At the same time, I will show you respect only if you ensure the same. Whatever "dick" category you are talking about, I haven't fallen into. Neither am I afraid of falling in that category in somebody's books who not understand my requirements totally. You have actually done me great service by letting me know that nothing of this kind exists. That has furthered my motivation in developing something like this. It may not be called a bug tool. Possible. But that does not make my requirements go away. The idea behind the tool is that, in most small teams there is always a trade off between fixing bugs and writing new features. Unlike, large software companies, the development team size does not fluctuate with new requirements. This is where a true reflection of the bug vs feature debate needs to be considered in greater light. As to points 3 and 4 not being a part of the features list of a "bug tracking system" I accept. But I still maintain that it does not call for unparliamentary language. Finally, your estimates of this thing taking several developers more than a year to develop is way off my estimates. This perhaps because, you don't seem to really see the "threadbareness" of the application in my mind.

Well, the world is also littered with software shops that think that a good tool can work for every body. Here is a set of my requirements: 1. I need a bugs list where through a Developer login (Tester + Programmer) the bugs get reported by people seriously perusing the development and fixing of bus. The bug report needs to be effective. But not unnecessarily detailed. The bugs list can also be populated by users who can say what problems they are facing through a web interface, preferably through a page in my website. 2. I need a features list, where developers can write the features they can think of and maintain a database of ideas to enhance their product. The same list will also accept features request from users, preferably through a web interface again. 3. I need a marketeer login where marketers go ahead and write their evaluation of how much the market values which feature feature. They can suggest what features the market reacted to very very well and which were not so well accepted. 4. A project sponsor log in for the people at the top to get an over view of the whole development process and give high level directives as to what to do next with the project. Plus, I want the application to only this. Nothing more. Please share your thoughts on this.

It is a little expensive for me.

Really cool. As light weight as it can me. Thanks a lot for the link.

Well a bug tracker is pretty much a function of your development methodology. No two companies follow the exact development methodology. It is important that your bug tracking tool truly reflects your development procedure. That is precisely why there are so many bug tracking tools out there, each one springs from a different perspective on software development. Thats precisely why i want to develop one of my own. Besides it is going to be great fun as well. :) But yes, I do see that it is going to be a lot of work.

Well is is not the presence of features but the absence of features I am looking at. I want some thing that is very clean. But to be frank I haven't looked at BugZilla carefully. But will definitely take a loot at it again. But I think the important point is the large user base that needs access from a web browser. Not all users will be interested in a software install.

Well, a few days ago I was asking people about a bug tracking tool. A lot of people here came up with some links. I went through all of them but none of them were able to satisfy my needs. I am a development lead of a product development team and the productivity of my entire team depends heavily on clarity on which are the important tasks and which are the not so important tasks. However, my team size is very small around 5. And I don't plan to work with a team that is bigger than 10 or 15 in size in the long run as well. Hence I need something that is very compact and does its job well. Most tracking systems that I came across were either for extremely large projects or had a steep learning curve or were pretty expensive for my needs. So, I am thinking if I should write a bug tracking tool myself. I believe it is quite a simple thing to develop provided the objectives of the tool are identified appropriately. But I am unable to decide on if should it be a 1. Web application 2. Windows Application 3. VS Add-in Any Ideas?

Well, you'll have to continue doing the testing even if you have a bug tracking system. The system will only organize things for a team.

Does employing him cost less than the expensive bug trackers? Can you pass me his email?
