I'm not 100% positive but I think the express edition also lacks the optimizing compiler.

If your trying to restore your sleep patterns you could give Melatonin a try, I agree with other statments that working out in the morning or at lunch really do help as well.

I want to retrive all the files in a directory of certian types (.bmp, .jpg, .gif) etc etc. But I seem to only be able to pass in a single filer to the functiond filesInDirectory = Directory.GetFiles(PictureDirectory, "*.jpg"); Works fine but: filesInDirectory = Directory.GetFiles(PictureDirectory, "*.jpg;*.bmp"); Does not work correctly at all, Is there any way to do this, without calling multiple times and joining arrays? Also it seems to just return them in alphabetical order, is there anyway to return them in the way they are sorted/being viewed in Explorer? Thanks!

I want to use GDI to draw some images in a "fullscreen" mode. What is the best way to do this? When I seem to hide pieces of my form turn it black and make it the resolution of the monitor there seems to be a "pause" when covering up the start menu. This makes me think I'm not approaching it the right way. Anyone know the proper way to do this?

Hello, I'm looking to write a image slideshow program in C# that would take a folder and show you all the .bmp's .jpg's etc etc in a folder. I know there's plenty of programs out there that would do this but this seems like a good way to increase my knowledge of C# and the .NET framework in general so I am giving it a go. My question is I was wondering if anyone could point me in the best direction on how I should display the images, I would like to have them display in a window or full screen. The Picture Box works fine for this type of thing but not so great for doing a full screen mode. So I was just looking for suggestions on areas of the framework I should look at for attacking this problem or if you have any architecture suggestions that would be great too! Thanks!

No :( Not like a cell phone anyway, You could use something like Skype, but you'd always need to be in range of a Wi-Fi connection. If you looking for PocketPC Phones check out http://www.phonescoop.com/[^] they have a list of them there....

Looks like it's System::Windows::Forms::Control http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwindowsformscontrolclasscreategraphicstopic.asp[^] Could be part of other things though.

"this" is a key word to refer to the currently instantiated class that the method is in so if you had: public ref class FrmMyCoolForm : public System::Windows::Forms::Form { public: FrmMyCoolForm(void) { this->Visible = false; } } You would be changing the visiblility of the object that the method was called from. (Probably not close to a textbook definition but hope it makes sense) EDIT: Here is a definition C++ keyword used in a member function to point at the object currently being operated on.

At least thats what this guy says http://blogs.msdn.com/ericmai/archive/2005/09/12/464068.aspx[^] I don't see it on MSDN yet though but I'll be checking every minute or so :laugh:

Thanks, This is really cool. I wish they had C++/CLI samples though, but I'll live with C#

Sadly I think it's at the cost of Memory, there is this "Adobe Reader Speed Lauch" in my Startup folder :( Not a fan of software doing that....

Which model? Looks like there will be upgrades available in September for some of them. Check out [^] for more info. Looks like the 718 and 720 models can be upgraded. It still may not help for an immediate solution however.

Try this site http://www.newlc.com/[^] and there's some tutorials here as well http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/0,,1_32_30,00.html[^] If your wondering how to program plain C++ there's plenty of tutorials here and online.

Did you have Beta 1 installed on this machine?

You can if your looking to target Windows Mobile 5.0 and higher devices (Not out yet but should start to trickle on the market in the next two months) You can look here http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/howto/windowsmobile5/api/default.aspx[^] and here http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/howto/windowsmobile5/install/default.aspx[^] to get what you need to get started.

I would second this suggestion, it's a great book!

Take a look at Appforge's crossfire http://www.appforge.com/products/enterprise/crossfire/index.html[^] I think it does what your looking for. Also if it's games your interested in take a look at GapiDraw http://www.gapidraw.com/[^] as it will also let you leverage some C# in Symbian.

The FAQ seems to indicate that it still does but I don't see them on the storefront order page. This would lead to my next question, Where if the do if they plan on selling the MSDN Professional subscriptions that Microsoft has just started. I'm looking at getting this so I can purchase .NET 2003 for home use then will have 2005 when it comes out in two months. I would prefer to help support CP again if at all possible. Anyway thanks!

That's cool, If your interested further, give this book a read it's awesome! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0812966600/[^] It's the same story, just a few more pages ;) It's a really good read!

Yes and no, I would like for something to work with like that but without me providing the server. (I.E. Pay for a service that hosts that or find one free) I took a look at those subversion hosts, some look pretty promising but seem to be steeply priced compaired to hosting fees.
