I recently wrote a pocket PC version of the game Simon. so far it is coming along nicely, but i still havent incorporated sound into the game! it would be nice to have 4 distinct tones that will play when each of the four colored buttons lights up. i am not sure how to do messagebeeps or any other sounds in C#. also, i dont even know if they will port to the pocket PC properly... any thoughts?! -613 "Code Poet" "Real programmers don't work from 9 to 5.

aaawww... arent u the nice lil hippy. don't worry, America heats u too! and proofread your anti-american comments from now on please. now you dont just look ignorant, but stupid as well. a deadly combination, even for un-informed peace junkies. -613 "Code Poet" "Real programmers don't work from 9 to 5.

i am very new to .Net and have decided to use C# in my next development project. my existing software is written in C++ and uses named pipes to communicate between appz. this existing app (which has the unfortunate acronym of "PMS" server) needs to updated to use SOAP messages over a tcp/ip network. currently the PMS uses serial communication. since xml serialization is so easy in .net and i already have all the necessary message classes, i am going to build a tcp communication layer outside of the PMS (did i mention i hate the name?!) i was hoping to utilize my existing pipe server in the PMS to communicate with this new C# app. any thoughts on the best way to approch this?? -613 "Code Poet" "Real programmers don't work from 9 to 5.

yeah i guess im yet to have that bad of a bar experience... so i shouldnt judge! i bet bartending is a great way to mak new friends through co-workers. it must be refreshing to hang out with people who dont think in code for a change! (and i was just kidding about the love for one night thing, sarcasm needs a font!) -613 "Code Poet" "Real programmers don't work from 9 to 5.

wow!!! i think someone here has had some bad bar experiences! here, there are people who care, they can help you... :(( http://www.find-a-therapist.com/onlinecounseling/etherapy.htm "i keed i keed!" i agree that a bar is not the place to find the love of your life... but they are great for finding your love for just that night!!! :cool: -613 "Code Poet" "Real programmers don't work from 9 to 5.

i followed zin's lead last winter and got a second job at the gap too. but i work some odd hours as a software engineer (sometimes 9-5, sometimes 9-9) and couldnt always be a reliable employee for the gap and i hated that! if you are going to get a second job id recommend something with a firm schedule or no schedule at all! bartending sounds perfect... on the weekends so work wont make u late, alocohol, women... u cant go wrong! and zin, u might not have to say it to them, but u know as well as i do that enough stoli ras and sprites make any woman look thin :-D -613 "Code Poet" "Real programmers don't work from 9 to 5.
