I've found several articles on comparing two bitmaps to see if they are the same, however, they address two images that are the same size. What if I have two images of different sizes and I want to determine if the smaller image resides somewhere within the larger one. This seems like an easy task, but I'm not having any success as of yet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

My question is this, how is compressed air created? My guess is that there is electricity involved in compressing the air and electricity does create pollution, so this is not truly a pollution free vehicle. Of course, maybe compressed air occurs naturally in nature and I'm missing a very big point. ;) Custom Software, Custom Solutions. Yye Software. http://www.yyesoftware.com

System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); p.StartInfo.FileName = "regasm.exe" p.StartInfo.Arguments = "example.dll" p.Start(); Something like that should work, or come close. Custom Software, Custom Solutions. Yye Software. http://www.yyesoftware.com

I've been batting around the idea of putting this on a test machine, but haven't been able to justify it in my schedule yet. Aside from a slick interface, what are some of the things that you feel make it awesome? Language features? Tools? Controls? I did try the PDC release way back when and I hate to say it, but it was terrible. Appreciate your feedback! Custom Software, Custom Solutions. Yye Software. http://www.yyesoftware.com

I put it on a couple of machines here, and had the unfortunate luck on my main developer box to have the thing blow away the operating system unrecoverably. I tried several things, but an old friend at Microsoft was kind enough to run my problem through to "people that care about this sort of thing" and the recommendation that came back was to upgrade my BIOS. I was floored. So this past weekend, I did a massive backup, updated the BIOS, installed SP2 ... went through without a hitch. I've been just peachy since Saturday.

Sorry, your topic said C++ to C#, but I think you're saying you want C# to C++. In that case, instead of using a byte *, try switching to VARIANT and SAFEARRAY. SAFEARRAY can be casted right to an CArray I believe. If you don't have control over the C++ interface, I'm not sure what to do to be quite honest with you. Custom Software, Custom Solutions.

I was in your boat a couple of years back. If you have 5 solid years of C++ (meaning using it everyday), then C# is going to be a piece of cake. Like you, I'm a book learner and immediately thought about getting several books. I did pick up a few here and there, but most were specialized in areas that I wanted to learn (remoting, GUI, etc). I think someone with your skill set should start with the help files & Intellisense, you'll get bored with the books. What I did was come up with a project to write (in my case, it was a code snippet manager) and went for it. Just like any project, you'll come up against problems to solve and this will solidify your knowledge and allow you to begin building a code base/libraries for yourself. You really know more about C# than you think because it is so similar to C++ and you know most of the framework because of your MFC knowledge. It's just like MFC, only better and easier.

Bleh. This actually happened to me. :(( Lost a whole day of productivity since I had to reinstall XP and all of my applications. That's the first time anything like that has happened to me since back in the OS/2 days. :laugh: Custom Software, Custom Solutions. Yye Software. http://www.yyesoftware.com

That's a rare example. Spolsky has an audience with his outspoken nature and many a folk go to his blog to read about his views on the software development process. Oh ya, and while you're reading about all of these good software development rules, I have this product over here to help you do it "right". This is marketing, plain and simple. He's very fortunate that it costs him nothing. The rest of us slouches gotta pay da man to do our sales and marketing. :(( Custom Software, Custom Solutions. Yye Software. http://www.yyesoftware.com

You and I must of woke up this morning with the same mission. I'm looking for one of these controls myself in C#. I wrote one (although not as fancy as the one in Outlook) in MFC/C++ years ago and may end up "porting" that one if I can't find one that's already freely available. Let me know what you turn up and I'll do the same.

This wouldn't be completely shocking. I mean, I know it's not going to have a big impact, but the fact that the Department of Homeland Security is urging citizens to dump IE because of security factors will probably have some affect especially in government and large corporations that follow like sheep. Doubt it will have much difference in usage habits among the home user. Custom Software, Custom Solutions. Yye Software. http://www.yyesoftware.com

I think 30% is an unrealistic expectation. There is no asset class that has returned over 30% over the past 100 years. If you want to actively manage your money, there are many ways to attempt to achieve that return, but it's just as easy to go broke (options, futures, currencies, commodities, etc). If there was an easy answer, nobody would be asking this question and we'd all be doing it. However, one thing you might consider is diversifying among asset classes. This is simple for an individual to do with the existence of ETFs. It also reduces volatility and draw down. If its done right, you can typically beat the street and most fund managers, but a sustained 30% over any length of time just won't happen. The Intelligent Asset Allocator is a good book to start with: Intelligent Asset Allocator Also, here's a simplistic article on asset diversification using ETFs An ETF strategy that's beating the market Best of luck to you!
