Hi, thanks for reading this. I'm working on a project where I have a large amount of structured data to manage. Similar to file directories. I've got a root folder, subfolders and eventually documents. How do I deal with it in my program in a manner, that allows effectivly saving the data to a file (or multiple files?). Imagine me writing an application that stores the entire folder/file structure of a given disk. Each item (disk, folder, file) has it's own properties which have to be stored as well. Any tips and links greatly appreceated. Matthias

Hi everybody! I was just wondering if somebody knows a site where I can get information on what skill earn what money in a specific country. The info I'm looking for in particular is market rates in France. Any ideas very welcome. Have a good day (night)... Matthias

Hi everybody, when my doc/view app starts, the Framework does a call to OnNewDocument if no document is specified on the commandline. I would like to change this. What I'd like to do is to open a document. For this purpose I've created a dialog similar to the dialog that pops up if you start Visual Basic (provided you use the default config). The user can choose whether to open a recently used file, browse for a file or create a new file. How do I get started with this one? Any help is greatly appreceated. Matthias

Currently I'm living in the Czech Republic (my girl-friend is czech), but I'm german and therefore I can work anywhere in Europe without probs. I'd like to work in Canada, Australia or the US, but I guess it's kind of problematically to get a working permit. It might be a problem of skills: I've had so far only one job (about 4 years) doing mostly VB development. During to re-organization of the company I got the chance to switch to VC++ the last 1,5 yrs. Now I don't want to go back to VB as the "mother-tongue" but continue to improve myself in C++. Matthias

No, I've been doing C++ programming now for 1,5 yrs seriously. I've spend 3 yrs writing VB apps but I've lost my faith in VB and wanted to move on. Now I don't actually have a problem finding a job in the VB section, but I don't want to make a step backwards. Unfortunately nobody wants to hire an 31yrs old "intermediate" C++ coder. One of the posts stated that I might be using *wrong* agencies. How do I find the *right* ones? Matthias

I'm currently looking for a new job and it seem (against my expectation) a difficult undertaking. I've been developing for a company now for three years, mostly in VB. The last year and a half I spent learning C++ and attended some classes. I actually did some serious application development in C++ during this period. But I don't seem to have a chance on the market. What I'm I missing? What am I doing wrong? Am I to old (31) for a junior developer position? Do the people mind of that I've started just about 4 yrs ago as an IT professional? I'm not looking for the big money, just for a cool challange in a cool country with a couple of cool people :-))). Somebody motivate me (Links to capable agencies would be fine... :-))) Matthias

Hello, I was wondering if anybody knows how I can determine my value on the market. I mean, how much can I ask for? Is there any www-site where one can go and find this out? Any help is greatly appreceated, Matthias
