But well, if can't speak directly with the sound device I guess this isn't going to work. Anything like an "fwrite to the sound card" just plain isn't going to work. Sound cards, like graphics cards, require data to be passed in the right way, and to the right buffer addresses etc, which is why there are drivers and APIs to help you do this. I'm a game audio programmer, working on PC at the moment, but I've written systems for most consoles in the past - unfortunately not for the DS, so I can't give you specific advice, but it too will have a specific API which is how you should send the audio data and control information to the hardware. In fact a quick google turns up lots of hits for DS homebrew audio (e.g. here) and the interface looks pretty simple. You should be able to get sounds up and running reasonably quickly using that. There are three kinds of people in the world - those who can count and those who can't...

You need to use the locale classes to work out what the timezone is, then build your own string that shows this information. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetimeoffset.aspx[^] is one option, the other is to convert the time to UTC, and then work out the difference.

If you are using .NET, have you considered using Script Blocks using msxsl:script to create your own XSLT trimming function? An even better solution is to use XsltArgumentList. Also, what is normalize-space not doing to fit your needs? "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give." --Winston Churchill modified on Friday, February 13, 2009 11:56 AM

Thank you for your input. Nope in my case this won't work, as you have to rebuild the deck. Creating a list is really the most straightforward way, but when you have to do this 1 million times+, it's too slow.

You're welcome. The need to optimize rises from a bad design.My articles[^]

I will do such things only if I see no reasonable alternative; I try and avoid creating a new Graphics as much as I can. In OnPaint the Graphics is for free, so why not take advantage of that one? In the few 100K lines of C# code I have at hand, I found only two instances of Graphics.FromHwnd; I do use Graphics.FromImage of course when drawing onto a Bitmap, there simply is no alternative there. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] Fixturized forever. :confused:

That was a funny comment for sure, but... unless he had raised his thread's priority above most other threads in the system, the o/s would preemptively schedule other threads to run, so both processors would still be doing some useful work.

I see, thank you!

Wow! Thank you for sharing all this valuable information to me. Now back on Visual C++ :p

I see. Don't worry I've already worked with DLLImports of the win32 api. Thank you!

The fix is only a registry tweak that would alter the Visual Studio configuration. It does not affect your project until you use Visual Studio on the project. Be sure to backup the project if this is a concern for you, the tweak seems like a plausible fix. However, the article says that this issue has been fixed with Visual Studio 2008 and you reference the problem with Visual Studio 2008, so you two may be talking about two completely different problems.
