Thanks for the info. They have mostly good/but some bad reviews i.e. oem versions of software/used, etc. With EBay not sure whether they are legal versions. Don't know if it's worth the risk.

Thinking about buying MSDN Universal. http://www.atomicpark.com has a great price. Anyone bought from them before? Thanks

Whichever country you choose to host the casino tests everything as they do in the u.s. to make sure that game play and odds are fair.

Dealt with too many companys that went under over the years. I made sure I own it free and clear. The company was going to handle other parts of the project.

I wholeheartedly agree. ;)

The joys of the I.T. world these days... Spent a year developing an online casino and the company I was working with went out of business. Now I have a really nice casino and no where to put it. ARGH! Have any suggestions as to what I can do with it? Guess I could post it to CP but that wouldn't do a whole lot to pay the bills unfortunately.

My 15 seconds of fame. ;-)

I jus got 2 notices that someone requested my user info/password on codeproject. I never requested it. Anyone else have this happen?

Thanks for the advice. Hard enough to find a job these days without scams as well.

Anyone use this job site? Or does it have the same crap as all the other ones. lol Thanks

Can anyone give me an idea of what their learning curve was with C# for someone with a strong C++ background already? Thanks

Thanks everyone for the info. Been a contractor for a long time and this is the first time there's no work available. Still hard to believe this industry fell apart as it did.

Been a C/C++ programmer for 25 years. Can't find work in the Fort Lauderdale area. What languages would you suggest to learn when looking for a job in this very depressed market....C#,ASP.NET,VB.NET? Any help would be appreciated.

Using VC&/C++/W2K. ::LoadImage() occasionally returns a system error 8 (Not enough storage is available to process this command) while trying to load a 1 mb. bitmap. Any ideas?

Thanks, I forgot all about that one. I'll check it out.

Can anyone suggest a good sample app that demonstrates multi-threaded graphics using VC++ and MFC? Trying to get a seperate thread working to handle dialog graphics animation. Thanks

Maybe I can explain it better. Only the main thread that created the dialog processes messages. The worker thread only updates only the back buffer which is then processed by the main thread and updated to the screen.

Thanks for the info. The back buffer is processed by the paint routine in the main thread as well. What's the best way to handle multi-threaded graphics to a dialog window?

lol tried both. The screaming worked better than the critical section. I checked all the paths, only use it in one place in each thread. Had that happen before so it was the first thing I thought to check. Very perplexing problem.

Tried the critical section but when it tries to lock in the main thread, everything hangs for some reason. I think the message pump may be getting blocked. Used critical sections a lot in my server code and they work great. For some reason it doesn't seem to want to cooperate with graphics routines.
