I found a really useful tool the other day called Google Analytics - it takes data from your site such as who is visiting it, for how long, which pages, at what resolution and where etc etc - very detailed. Sign up for an acconut - analytics.google.com - they always get flooded with requests, but it seems like they have enough now. Hope that helps James

There are books for learning to become a MCAD (microsoft certified apps dev), but they are actually good beginners books. For C# / Sql, try Amit Khalani's MCAD 70-616 Training Guide, its really simple, yet gets a lot of info across just-code-it.net Managed DirectX & C# Tutorials

I think some imaging software (ie Photoshop) uses DirectX, but just ships one of the DLLs, although I could be mistaken just-code-it.net Managed DirectX & C# Tutorials

Sometimes it does not let you at all. Once I wanted to loop through a certain portion of the HD (forgotten why) but no matter how many sec permissions i got, it wouldnt let me do it. Either because of a performance lag on computer or some sensitive files... If your project sounds like it could provoke .NET in any of these areas, try changing it. This is probably not the case, but worth a shot

It may be that you are putting your programmatical assignment of the size before the InitialiseComponent() method in the form's constructor is being called, as a result the assignment to the form's size in InitialiseComponent() is overriding your assignment. James just-code-it.net

In my experiencing, certain operations (especially those relating to files / directories) are not allowed or require extra security permissions to use in .NET. At an educated guess: string strAddress = pms.CheckPageUpdated(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("username")); is probably causing it. To suppress it you will need to have your application request additional permissions. This is done through the System.Security namespace, but I am unsure to the specifics of it. Hopefully I have given you enough information to googlise :) James just-code-it.net

Hey, I am creating an application, and need some help. It uses an XML file to keep tabs on documents created with it, and when the user presses a button i want to update that document's status in the XML file to "Finished". So far i have XML files similar to the following: http://pastebin.com/600756[^] I need to modify the tag of a specific report based on its ID, how would i go about doing this? I would appreciate any help you can give me James

I may have the wrong idea, but why not just make a richtextbox, have it paste in the contents of each node, and on each node level tab it?

Wow i never knew how vunerable it was - thanks for the post Swel

Im not too sure you can without defining your own font or converting the text to an image and modifying it there

To use pointers in C# you have to put them within a class defined as "unsafe" through the unsafe keyword.

whats the point though? they all load in exactly the same way from Bitmap, no advantages / disadvantages from what you can do with them - just use the Bitmap class, or if you have to public enum ImageType { JPG = 0; PNG = 1; etc } class Image { public bitmap itsBitmap; public ImageType itsFormat; }

It depends what you want to do. In .NET, you use the Bitmap class to handle not only BMP images but also GIF, PNG and JPG - so from most points of view there would be no difference as to what members you would use to describe them.

Load it as PlainText instead of UnicodePlainText This should solve your problem James

The speed is only a 2-5% difference for one thing, and using a .NET language such as C# would provide easier and safer access to features such as plug ins / automatic updates. C# can be run on other platforms with th use of mono, i think.

Are you thinking of making an actual new programming language? or a scripting language which converts to C# and then gets passed to a command line compiler?

What type of file are you trying to load, and which richTextBoxStreamType are you using?

C# syntax is very similar to other languages, if you could just object-orient your C code, even very crudely it may be worth the swap... - and you can access WinAPI calls from .NET languages.

your welcome ;)

When it did this to me in Visual Studio 6 / 2002, if you delete all of the VS generated files from your application (such as .pdb files etc) so that only the solution and source files remain, it has to re-generate them using default values when you next start VS, and this sometimes restores intellisense. Hope this helps James
