It's ok! And thanks, it helped!

... the code of ... = {0}; may be much faster (than the code of ZeroMemory(..)) :) virtual void BeHappy() = 0;

I'm using a Sony Ericsson w910i (not a smartphone). The purpose is to create a java applet for my phone, that enables it to comunicate with my laptop, through bluetooth. I searched online about this type of connection, but found nothing.

Here is the point: Getting a number from the slider control and make it integer (a.k.a. removing fractional part) so that I can send it through the serial port When speaking about integers, it doesn't mean to be a 'int' variable, but in other words, a natural number

I've now created a class that can convert bitmaps (*.bmp; *.png) to binary images (0xFF 0x89 0x78 0x65), but now my problem is that some bitmaps have grey, and to display it on a B&W LCD I need to emulate the grey effect by using double-buffering (I've mastered the double-buffering issue). Both buffers are displayed to the screen with an especial delay, to created the grey effect.

I don't need anymore the C# Rules File because I have now the Visual C# 2008 Express Edition. Thanks for your help.

I'll see that! Thanks

I have found that the results are better when you use the biggest possible Write (so buffer first, then write it all out at once). It's slower of course, but for some reason this implementation gives really poor results on small writes. Such a big expansion seems excessive though. It can only happen due to crappy implementation, since the Deflate spec contains an escape mechanism to store uncompressed data with only tiny overhead, but then this implementation is not known for being good in any way.
