UInt32 or Int32 are equivalent to DWORD in c#.

It's not uncommon at all to see coders express their frustrations in the code they write. For an entertaining afternoon of reading, go to http://www.google.com/codesearch[^] and enter the profanity of your choice. You'd be amazed what people say.

Actually it's a really nice piece of software. I'm not going to name it, but it really is an elegant thing. I'm going to take his list of features that he so kindly posted in the forums of DSGraphEdit as a bug report and incorporate it into the the next release. I guess that's the best I can do for now.

Yep. Some guy did the same thing on my article. He registered with CP just so he could say he was selling a similar program to the one that I was providing for free.

That'll just make your button yellow every time. Get rid of the for statement.

Functional programming[^] has always been my kryptonite. I still have nightmares about a project I had to do in Miranda. Oh the madness!

I'm pretty sure he has an anti-rolling mechanism built into his casket.

My understanding is that it was modeled after the Mach micro kernel, which was also the basis for NextStep and OSX.

I voted your post 1. My comment: adfafafdasfdafafads

And that's a perfect example. Instead of wondering why it got voted so low, we now know 2 things. 1) The vote really doesn't reflect any actual opinion of the content of the post. 2) The person who made the vote is a gibbering fool. Now I won't lose any sleep on figuring out where I erred in the article/post. Had the person actually put something of a meaningful comment with the vote, it could be corrected.

Assuming you're using WinForms, you can assume that there are 72 dots (pixels) per inch, so multiply up by 72.

I think it's mostly 96 dpi these days.

Am I "write"?

Looks like Cobol. Perhaps FileStream.CanWrite would work better :)

The Graphics class provides two methods, Graphics.DpiX and Graphics.DpiY, that gives you the Dots-per-inch resolution of the Device Context:

public void SetSize(float xInches, float yInches)
{
Graphics g = Graphics.FromHwnd(this.Handle);
this.Size = new Size((int)(xInches * g.DpiX), (int)(yInches * g.DpiY));
g.Dispose();
}

This idea pops up as regularly as clockwork. Unfortunately, while this is a good idea in principle, it would be abused by the Univoters entering gibberish (the official language of Gibberania).

Perhaps weighting the vote via the "Rate this Message" could balance that.

"Controlling LEDs (Light Emiting Diodes) with Parallel Port"[^] has been a wildly popular article for years.

So such articles often run a risk of getting severely low votes. Did you even read what I wrote? If someone voted his article a 1 because "There are far too many articles on using the singleton pattern here on CP and on the web." how would the author know what he did right or wrong if no comments were made along with the vote?

Would it be possible to make it that if someone votes for an article, it should be mandatory for them to leave a comment as to why they voted the way they did? Let's take for example this article here: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/GenericSingleton.asp[^] At the time this message was posted, it was rated far below than it should it have been ( <= 2.0), and yet there were no comments as to why someone would have voted that low for it. It's fairly well written, provides a novel approach to Singleton Patterns, etc. and yet whoever nuked it gave no clue as to why.

Make sure you give Mr. Lynch points to for being a good sport too. I'm sure he's going to give me grief until the Savior of your choice comes back. Thumbs up buddy :)

According to "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy", you get rid of cthulu by tyeing his shoelaces together and hanging up the phone. Who says you can't learn anything from cartoons.

Curve is a strange name for a professor.
