Thank you

Hi, I have to port a few (old) applications written in C++ with VS6 and MFC to VS2005 under Vista. Have anybody done that already? Is it just rebuilding everything without any problems? What can I expect? Are there any advantages with VS2005 compared to VS6? Thanks

Stay in bed.;P

That’s explains the all the English programmers over here.:) The profit tax here is 35% in Malta it is only 5%.:omg: David Wulff wrote: It seems from your other text that if you don't like it over there you can come back. If the job dies on you will your employer offer you your original job back in the Netherlands? Could you work that into a contract just-in-case? We are working on that. The biggest problem is, that in the Netherlands house prices are so high, you must have a double income. I have a rent house (don’t know if that is the right word). If I must rent a house again it will take 6 or 7 years to get one, there is a long waiting list. Rene

There is a little difference, if something goes wrong here. I still have a house a living and a unemployment fee. If something goes wrong on Malta I must go back to the Netherlands (working permit). And have nothing anymore. If I was alone I don’t hesitate for a minute, but I have also a wife and a child. Rene

Yes, I look like a young god. But I'm really that old. You haven't told me that you been there on holiday. Don't you have anything better to do than posting on CP. ;P See you, (Maybe) Rene

Hi James, I have travelled enough to know that’s the most countries are different and that paradise not exists. So I make no illusions about that. Can you give some more information for the cost of living? Taxes? House rent prises? Child education? – what will cost a international school? Or can my son to a ‘normal’ school. Is everything in English or must he learn Maltese. And most important what is the cost of beer and cigarettes. What do you think, will Malta join the EU? Thanks Rene

That’s not really a problem. Daniel Turini wrote: Probably you’ll be glad to be far from your mother-in-law, but what about your wife? My wife is from the Philippines so I don't have a real mother-in-law problem anyway:-D It is not so funny for my parents, sure they will miss there grandsun. But a flight Netherlands - Malta is only 3 hours

Ok, this is the situation. I’m 38 years old, I’m married and have a 3 years old son and working in the IT for long, long time.:) The last 6 years I am working for a small Dutch software house (2 owners and 20 employees). We mostly write custom made logistics software for all kind of companies. For development we use C++ with a database. What more do you need for that kind of programs anyway? 2 weeks ago the owners decided, mainly for tax reasons, to open a new office at Malta. As most of the decisions made here, they became fast and unsuspected. We have to start there December 1. Only two of us could go there. And yes, I’m one of the lucky. At first I was very happy about it, but now I’m not so certain anymore. My hart say yes, me mind say no. (Sleepless nights) There are certain risks. - What if the owners decided to stop with the company. - Does my family like it there? And I'm sure there are more. So, what will you do? Anybody has done that, and wants to share some information? Maybe a CPian from Malta, who want to tell me the pro and cons.

YOU too??:(

Yes, there is a province called Zeeland. www.zeeland.nl[^] Rene

Zealand (Netherlands) - Zeeland

is MDAC 2.7 installed??

Hi all, Currently I'm working on a program with (at this moment) 100 windows. In the app of the program I have this code - (x 100).

m_pProg001Template = new CMultiDocTemplate(
IDR_MENU,
RUNTIME_CLASS(CDProg001Doc),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CDProg001Frame),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CDProg001View));
AddDocTemplate(m_pProg001Template);

m_pProg002Template = new CMultiDocTemplate(
IDR_MENU,
RUNTIME_CLASS(CDProg002Doc),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CDProg002Frame),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CDProg002View));
AddDocTemplate(m_pProg002Template);

etc, etc.. then ..

OnCommand (ID_MENU_001, OnProg001)
OnCommand (ID_MENU_002, OnProg002)

(x 100) etc, etc..

App::OnProg001() (x 100)
{
m_pProg001Template->OpenDocumentFile(NULL, TRUE);
}

etc, etc .. This doesn't look good, and gives a lot of code in the app. I have the feeling that there is a easier way to do this, maybe with 5 lines of code:-D , but I have no idea how to do this. Anybody?? Greetings Rene

Sad, but true

Amsterdam is not that bad, even without CNN, MTV and Discovery Ch. But the internet is, indeed, still working. btw bicycles are not free, mostly you have to pay 25 GLD (90 Rand) to the local junk. Most off the coffeeshops (where you can't buy coffee) are filled with tourist;P Rene

Don't feel sad, In Amsterdam people can't even watch CNN on television:((
