Normally you'd use PeekMessage and perform some idle time processing in the else part. I'm not sure what's going on in the else bit but it looks ok to me. I find myself a little concerned that you may be busy waiting but I'd have to see the else bit to be sure. Steve

Potentially... In my opinion, for that to happen, cross platform game developers (ie, people that write for PS3, 360, Revolution, NGC, XBOX, PSP, DS and PC/Mac) - write their code in C++/C. A company that develops for just the PC is probably more likely to switch to C# than one that develops for multiple platforms.

Yes, in your AssemblyInfo.cs file, include the following: [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")] - Nick Parker Microsoft MVP - Visual C# My Blog | My Articles

but can you do this in c#? IM PROUD TO BE A GMAIL;

If I am reading you correctly, then the answer is yes. ((MainClass) this.ParentForm).MyEvent += new ...

That was it, sry I'm new to .net and C#, in c++ you didn't have to do this :P, that was it thank you. IM PROUD TO BE A GMAIL;

Next time yout set top box freezes momentarily it's the Java garbage collection at work :sigh: The tigress is here :-D

Glad to be of service... and glad that I can remember back that far...:doh:  onwards and upwards...

Check out the article on this site on adding for-each to C++ for an example of why everything this guy has said is correct. The guy who wrote C++ says that use of macros usually shows a problem with either the design, or the programmer. C++ inherited this muck from C, it was not deliberately added. I'd have to say that having header files is no bad thing. Also, constant data members exist in C++, and should be used over #define. This guy is hitting out at bad C++ programmers more than C++ as a language, IMO. I don't see the point of writing to the author, he's entitled to his opinion, if you agree or not.

Yes, please write the article. If you could get a slant towards 2D graphics that won't be used as a game. 1) alpha blending 2) lockable framerate so that in a non-game application it doesn't use 100% cpu I could go on. I tried doing some 2D stuff in DX9 but went back to DX7 since you can still get an HDC to the surface and draw to it that way. BTW by interst is in doing graphics for an HTPC.
