Hi! There's an excellent series of articles here dealing with the topic. Starting here: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/csharpgraphicfilters11.asp[^] Regards, mav -- Black holes are the places where God divided by 0...

Yeah... VC is like eating a badly cooked meal, While Matlab is like visting the Giza pyramids on a month long sub-saharan tour :P So i chose matlab! :)) Btw the squid....welll its like when one tries to eat the pencil rubber in childhood days...its the same with a squid...just the difference being that you dont get rubbed by your mommy for wasting your pencil eraser... :P Btw I have tried raw fish, i.e. sushi ; Live fish, swirling in a pond of blood...so eating squid is like the "aaloo wala paratha or bieryanee" in pakistan :P

MSDN. A variant array is just that, an array of VARIANT types, use just like any other kind of SAFEARRAY, except of course, that your basic array type is VARIANT rather than BSTR or whatever. It's worth remembering that SafeArrayGetElement and SafeArrayPutElement deal with COPYING the data they work with, so Get gives you a new, second, copy and Put will not care what you do with the original you pass it. This is true for other "managed" types (IUnknown, BSTR etc) not just VARIANTs. Of course, your element type is determined by the .vt member of each element, not by the type of the array, but each element is the same size :) Steve S

yes..but the drive is already formated using NTFS..and no file is greater the 800 mbs..

Hi there :) Using the API GetAmbientUserMode() , this tells whether the container is in run-mode (TRUE) or design-mode (FALSE). regards Abhishek Srivastava Software Engineer (VC++) India ,Noida Mobile no 9891492921 :)

Because in release mode, no code would be generated. 2) If the debug mode works fine, and the release mode doesn't, it's usually because the code is weak. There is a probably a bad use of pointers somewhere. - check out the console window for all "exception errors" that might be produced by Excel (or any other ActiveX host). - build the release mode with "Debug Info". And check the ".pdb" box. Doing so, you can put a breakpoint even in release mode. - Add a DebugBreak() statement in your code. This allows to halt the code, start a session, and watch variables, etc. To have this to work properly, it's best to generate a release version with all the debug info (see above). - add a few message boxes in your code, and watch them. That's the most primitive way of solving issues, but sometimes it's enough! Good luck! And if you are to go on with debugging, crash handlers, etc. don't hesitate to buy this book[^]. RSS feed
