Yeah, it`s like you work as a lead producer in EA and suddenly someone bestows upon you a free Aston Martin DBS... While car is yours for free, it`s repairs, fuel, taxes and other cash drains will become a great burden & start drain your budget. Free gift becoming surgical strike at the company`s budget.

Hello Mycroft Holmes! I agree on Oracle. SQL Server Express is nice solution, but it`s paid (if DB is larger than 4GB) and this is the main problem (Current DB is 3.96 GB and expanding...). I was tasked to create app that require close to zero cash on any 3rd party components (It was, it is and it`ll be - employer always looking for something that would cost 0$ and be as functional, stable and reliable as hell) So Postgres is a necessary option because it`s free.

Yes, it looks like my own fault :) Thank you again.

Thank you for answer Bernard! Well, my application is going to be sold, so i don`t want for my employer to ask me "What a ...." So, because Postgres is free for commercial usage (yes, there is a paid edition too, with minor benefits.) and has a quite a lot of data about it. (Most of the users favour linux for some strange reason...") Oracle... well, it`s size is far larger than Postgres`s ~100mb and the target database itself is several GB`s, Oracle can handle this, without question, but it`s main role is huge enterprise databases of large companies. I`ve read article on Oracle vs SQL and author shown two pictures: Oracle - Swiss Army Knife, SQL - pink assault rifle toy for kids. SQL is bad work of Microsoft, more errors per code then in Oracle and Postgres, lower perfomance as well.

Well i`m not a beginner in C#, it is my first application with such demand. I`ve built a lot of apps using classes on C+ and some on C#. Thank you for showing me the right way, looks like i better master Interlop assemblies head on...

Hello! I`m creating an application that using Postgres 9.1, a powerful database, steps on toes of the mighty Oracle. I can`t use Oracle because of it`s price, while Postgres is free and popular. (Microsoft ones are less powerful...) My question is quite common: How to connect database and C# application? Is there any other way (besides Npgsql lib?)around it? I`m using VS2010 to create application now. Thank you.

Hello! I want to design a complex text editor that will be capable to design, fill and print necessary marketing papers according to the law. The negative side - i do not know how to make it happen, which classes or libraries can help me to do it? (Speaking plain, make something as powerful as MsWord when it comes to designin a document) OR: How can i export the designed document template from Microsoft Word to an application, where i will fill it with data (from Postgres 9.1) and print it? Thank you.

Thank you for the reply Alisaunder! This is very simplified, i`m doing professional animation of model in 3dsmax 2012, then texturing via photoshop, adding effects via AfterEffects and... voicing it via Audacity... What you`ve suggested came to my mind in the first place when i`ve decided to do such a thing :) But brain came to conclusion that quality is better.

Thank you anyway, image recognition can be done using AForge library and neural networks... For some weird reason i`m occupied in program for image recognition (motion detection). Thanks a lot for a pointer to obvious thing! :) :) :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Hello Richard! The first thing is - thank you for the reply. I`ll look into that right now (well i`m working my 16th hour now :) ) If i get it right, i just need to use some sort of player to play usual AVI/H.264 file with animation... (of cource using technique you`ve provided) Another question... this animation is "Advisor" - a copy of a real user actually that performs some actions like find document, search the database, edit the tables in the database and even dancing a bit. Is there any way to manipulate the AVI file to trigger events according to gestures? For example, advisor raising it`s hand in the air and windows creates several buttons near advisor`s fingers. Thank you.

Hello everyone! What i want to do is to make an animation of a female character that appears on SCREEN and does everything it was supposed to do during animation. The MAIN problem that i have no idea how to do this on the screen, without any borders of audio/video player. Closest EXAMPLE is VHGD aka VirtuaGirl player - girls walk on your screen without any border of the player (my version is NOT porn, it is rather gift). Animation will be done by myself, all i ask is how to make it look like a VHGD. How can i perform this using C# or any 3rd party libraries/ect?
