I'm confused about your question. Do you want to know how to actually write the file, or how to select the path of the file?

Tekmaven 258 Software Architect Team Colleague

Instead of hard-coding the path, the best thing would probably be popping up an Open File Dialog. Here is the MSDN documentation with a code sample: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.openfiledialog.aspx

I used this converter: http://www.dotnetspider.com/convert/Csharp-To-Vb.aspx. It seems to compile the app then use the MSIL to convert it to VB, which is the best way of translation. If this doesn't work, I can manually translate it, so let me know. This is the result:

Dim img1 As Bitmap =  New Bitmap("D:\\Documents and Settings\\Sonia\\Desktop\\sonia1.bmp") 
              Dim img2 As Bitmap =  New Bitmap("D:\\Documents and Settings\\Sonia\\Desktop\\sonia2.bmp") 
              Dim a As Boolean
           a= doImagesMatch(img1,img2)
    End Sub

            Try
 
                 'each image to a byte array
                 Dim converter As ImageConverter =  New ImageConverter()

              imgBytes2 = CType(converter.ConvertTo(bmp2, imgBytes1.GetType()), Byte())
 
            'now compute a hash for each image from the byte arrays

You should override the Navigating event of the browser control. You're going to have to figure out when the URL is the download url (the file name might change, but it might be in a certain path or something), and cancel the navigation, then download the url with the WebClient class.

private void webBrowser1_Navigating(object sender, WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs e)
{
       //e.Url is the URL of the request
       //e.Cancel = true; will cancel the request in the web browser so you can handle it on your own

You don't have to compile the project from the command line to generate a .dll file. In Visual Studio, select the Class Library project type, and that will compile into a .dll file. After you select the correct project type, you can use the command line tool called msbuild to build the project.

I don't think you understand how video games are written... Those games use 3D Rendering things like OpenGL and DirectX, which is just as available on the .NET platform. In fact, Quake 2 has been ported to the .NET framework: http://www.vertigosoftware.com/Quake2.htm

Also, there is NO way to do low level programming and retain portablity. A PowerPC processor will not understand low level x86 code, no matter what language you develop in. In fact, Java and .NET is the answer to the problem of portability.

All the C++ would be doing is converting 1 into "true"; that's not rocket science. This would work:

Microsoft .NET is simply Java written how it should have been written ;-).

No, actually, there are some major differences between the two. To start off, Java is a language, and Microsoft .NET is an application framework. In fact, you can compile java code to Microsoft .NET have them run as native .NET applications.

No, actually it's related to Visual Studio .NET's web page designer. When you are on the WYSIWYG ("Design") view of the page, it reformats your code, and sometimes screws up on tags. There is a setting to control what view you get when you double click on a file in the project window; I have it going to HTML View, which there is no problem with (I rarely use the designer for Web Development).

Value is an object, which each list item has. When you create list items, you can assign a value object to them, and that object will stay with the list item (but not be displayed on the page).

The ideal use for this, is when you have a list of items that corrospond to ID numbers in a database. You would set the text property to the friendly description for the item, and the value to the ID number. When you go to interact with your database, you don't need to parse what ID number has been selected; because it's just in it's Value.

In my latest issue of InfoWorld, there is a great column written by Tom Yager. It'a a great read:

Title: Efficiency can be lost on code snobs: So many problems don’t get solved because we overthink the project

At my local Ace hardware store, circular saws sit near the registers to tempt impulse buyers. When Ace sells you that saw, they’ve also got you for blades, safety glasses, and handy little accessories. But Ace isn’t the only beneficiary in this “sell the saw, sell the store arrangement. Simply having the saw turns some neglected, avoided projects into adventures. For the buyer, the saw is an inspiration: “Get the saw, fix the house.

The circular saws of software development are dynamic languages such as Perl, Python, PHP, and JavaScript, as well as RAD (rapid application development) tools such as Visual Studio. The better of these allow you to leap straight to solving problems without paying your dues by learning the underlying OS, low-level APIs, and networking architecture. There’s no studying of patterns, models, or methods. It’s like buying lumber, nails, and a saw without deep study in the properties of wood and fasteners. A carpenter would be aghast that you’re not an expert at operating a handsaw. A true developer will gossip about you for using a PHP database class without knowing much about how the database on the other end works. Both will warn that you’re courting disaster.

We’ll always need expert tools, structured processes, and …

A managed language is something like Java or Microsoft .NET (C#, VB.NET, etc).. they are managed by a virtual machine, and programming on them is not operating system dependant. You don't need to worry about allocating memory, saving files in the OS's native format, etc...

Just did a little checking, and I found out that the Msflexgrid is a COM Control. When working with .NET, it is very desirable to stay with pure managed code (for example, use .NET controls, instead of COM). The DataGrid would be the flexgrid's .NET equivelent.

FYI, I looked at your manual:

3. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC1)
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The RAM data in CMOS, that include system setup information such as system passwords, is powered by the onboard button cell battery.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.

NOTE: Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC1 jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

Well, roflmao, this is your board, and you didnt use [ quote ]! :-P

Every motherboard had a cmos reset jumer; so look harder. Secondly, you didnt say you took everything out; you said you took the ram out. I'm suggesting leaving a stick of ram in, and taking everything else out!

Find the CMOS reset jumper, and reset your CMOS. Take EVERYTHING out that doesn't need to be in it, and leave one stick of RAM. Try it then..
