Here is a good article on COM event interop - Understanding Classic COM Interoperability With .NET Applications[^] «_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends. Microsoft MVP (Visual C++)

C# doesn't have an equivalent to CoCreate, its all hidden behind the interop wrapper. You just have to create an instance of the object in question. If you want a single instance of this object then you need to use a Singleton pattern. only two letters away from being an asset

You would have to use the Windows API to use a Memory Mapped File and potentially unsafe code. However, I believe that the FileStream class uses the Memory Mapped File under the scenes.

Hi, 1. Google knows about RC2170 (both resource compiler errors and khaki shorts) 2. how did you convert from bmp to gif? why didn't you use your own .NET app for this, that would ensure the same or other app would later understand the gif file. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] Sorry for any delays in replying, I currently don't always get e-mail notifications.

This[^] blog entry is interesting when you're into that theme.! Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all. Douglas Adams, "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency"

thanks....

You can load this DLL, or whatever it is, into it's own AppDomain, but that's not going to stop it from crashing. And, it's more than likely not going to stop an error message from popping up either.

No I dont think so. AFAIK the managed threads are virtual, i.e. they are not even guaranteed to correspond to a physical (i.e. a Windows kernel) thread. This is somewhat illustrated by the fact that managed threads have a ManagedThreadId property, whose value does not correspond to the kernel's thread IDs; and it has a name, for which the kernel has no equivalent member at all. In my experience, there still is a 1-to-1 correspondence between a managed thread and a kernel thread, but I havent found any way to map them, other than having each managed thread call some native code to get its own kernel thread ID that is. Hope this clarifies things a bit. Luc Pattyn try { [Search CP Articles] [Search CP Forums] [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] } catch { [Google] }

It's working.... thanks

boundschecker is for C++ programs, C# programs are garbage collected. From memory, when I used it, I had to put my name down and take a call from a rep before they would send it to me. But I did type 'boundschecker download' into google and get a ton of hits.

:confused: strings are aligned to the left (at least if you write from left to right). if you are painting to the screen, it may help to choose a "non-proportional" font, such as "Courier New" so all characters have the same width; maybe you want a DateTime format that applies leading zeroes, and you might show your message number using a fixed number of digits: num.ToString("000000") will generate at least 6 characters, using leading zeroes. If you are painting on a Graphics, you can use MeasureString() to get the string width in pixels, and adjust coordinates accordingly (but that would be useful only if you do NOT want to align to the left). Hope this helps. :) Luc Pattyn [My Articles] [Forum Guidelines]
