Well, look at that - another syntax / semantics change from VC++ 6 to 2003/2005. Grumble, grumble, grumble... But yes, I just tried the variation you describe under 2005 and it does the trick. Anyway, it's not that you are discarding a specific 'this' pointer. The issue is that you are not discarding the class association. If you try to cast &CSomeClass::SomeMethod to something else such as: DWORD dw = (DWORD) &CSomeClass::SomeMethod; the compiler will still complain because this conversion would force it to discard the class association. (Actual error message under 2005 says,"There is no context in which this conversion is possible") Dan Remember kids, we're trained professionals. Don't try this at home!

If you actually mean what the season is, not just the daylight saving time flag, there isn't a single algorithm for it since different countries define the seasons differently. Ie if you try to tell someone in Australia that December 25 is in the winter, you'll get weird looks. Also, some countries like the US define the seasons based on the solstices and equinoxes, while others change seasons on the first of the month every 3 months. --Mike-- LINKS~!

I don't know the answer to SuspendThread but I technique I find interesting and usefull to kill a thread is to force it to thow an exception. Have a look at http://www.codeproject.com/threads/threadlibrary.asp[^] which uses this technique. Hope that helps.
