Hi there During the last 6 months I've put some time into learn and building simple web based apps using the cakephp framework. At this moment, a friend is asking me to build a website with shopping cart support. I was thinking to use a magento or oscommerce, but after some digs I've find some cakephp plugins for that: infinitas[^] and kaching-php[^]. It is a hard choose for me, because I'll like to be a long term choose. Do you have any idea, which of those cakephp based apps has a better written code?

Hi How to find open source projects which are using a certain library? Where to search? How to search? many thx

Hi there I have a .txt file with the following dates (string \t\t int): aaaaa 5 aaaaa 6 aaabb 7 aaaaa 1 aaabb 5 ... My question is about what data structure to use in order to access as fast is possible those data(read only). I'm very new to C# but I have some experience in C++. There a struct array was an alternative but I don't know how to do that in C#. I have to search a string and order the result desc after the int number. Example: search 'aaabb' result: 7, 5

Hi there! I just heard about the ubuntu great support and i've try it. Do you know about a site with a topic about C#, but which has a chat or a IRC channel? Many thx.

I'm working on a word prediction application and we have some common problems. I don't think that looking at you application as one of translation is a good approach. Translation is made with losses. English is a low-inflected language and that is a big advantage for you. I'm thinking at your application as a semantic-syntactic prediction problem. Read Text prediction systems: a survey[^] and see the biography. . You can find the pdf version(16 pages) here[^].

Hi there I’m planning to add a character prognostic algorithm to my text editor, but I don’t know where I can find a good dictionary(word database)? Do you have any idea how Microsoft Word detect misspellings? Can I have access to the MS dictionary? Do you know an open dictionary(word database) or some resources which can I use in order to make my word prediction application? Many thx

HashSet is only in .Net framework 3.5 :( and i;m using vs2005:(( But the advice is soo great, thx to all

Hi there I have a file with allot of sentences. I need to make a dictionary with the words from that file. Until now I've separated the words and sort them using Split() and Sort() methods. My problem is to make a list without duplicate words. How can I do that?

static int n = 0;
public static string[] NoDuplicate(string[] array)
{
int i;
string[] res = (string[])array.Clone();
for (i = 0; i < array.Length-1; i++)
if (array[i + 1] != array[i])
res[n++] = (string)array[i];
return res;
}

1. how can I do it more neat? 2) i don't like that method because is initialized using Clone() and the lenght is too big. many thx

Hi there Let's say I have a txt file with 100.000 words which I'll load into memory. I need to manage this file as a database in order to provide a character prediction application. What method can I use in order to have a fast response, even on embedded devices?

Hi there How can I draw and image with a transparency and an alpha bending ? many thx

Hi there I think everybody know about OnScreen Keyboard[^] from MS Windows(type osk in run). I wish to make that kind of application using C# but i have the following questions: 1) Those buttons are customs controls? 2) How to have just one function which triggers the pressed keys?

Hi there What techniques do you use in order to fulfill your work(developer work). Let’s say you are working on a project which in final stage need to have an 1)running application 2)written report with description about application(algorithms description and other stuff useful for other developers which can continue your work). How do you manage this problem? Do you prefer to work on coding only and after the application is done to write the report, or is better to do them together? I’ve often read on developers forums about scheduling work. How are you doing that? Do you use any software? Which one? I’m using pen and paper :^) and now I’ve discovered MS outlook 2007 calendar, but I don’t know to use it at his full power(if is any – I didn’t see it yet) :(( Many thx

Hi there I need to make an application which saves the output as a XML file. Can you recommend me a good XML lib? I'm using VC++. I don't know MFC, and I prefer an API based lib.
