I've been writing a small desktop gadget-type application that displays scrolling text along the bottom of the screen (Similar to the old CNN news ticker), however the performance of GDI is just unsatisfactory (As high as 8-12% on a quad core and 20% on a single core) even after I've attempted to clean out bottlenecks.
I was considering using OpenGL instead to render everything, but I don't know if that is a reasonable option to require users to have hardware acceleration for a tiny app like this.
Does anybody have any input on this?
I'm writing a custom TreeView from ScrollableControl. I decided to show tooltips when mouse is hover nodes with text too long to display.
I find out when tooltips are shown, user would not be able to click the node to select it, because (I think) he's clicking the tooltip window, not my control.
Is there any easy solutions? As I can see System.Windows.Forms.TreeView don't have this problem. Thanks!
Hi,
I am using jasperreport and trying to pass an alternate report runner.
• net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRThreadSubreportRunner: The initial thread-based
implementation
• net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRContinuationSubreportRunner: A Javaflow-based
implementation
I am using the second one (for the reason, it runs on tomcat server, and creating threads wouldn't be good while writing subreports). The second one depends on commons-javaflow which is a sandbox version.
Not sure if I should use it, Could somebody suggest a better way.
Thanks
I writing some application that find ( according to some question ) information about some person ( lets say that the information are weight, hight and age of the person ).
In the other hand i have product list ( can be very big one ) and according to the product information i need to find the best matching between the person information and the product
( the product information that i have are water part, nitrogen part and ext. )
I can't use flow chart algorithm or Breadth-first search because the number of the product is dynamically ( read the product list from DB ... )
Hi,
I'd like to know if it's possible to have both Linq-to-SQL and Entity Framework running side-by-side. Our current configuration is Linq-to-SQL and we'd like to eventually move to EF. But there's just too much going on in the Linq-to-SQL side right now and we'd like to do it in phases.
so any chance we can just start writing new stuff in entity framework but leave the older stuff running as is? And is it worth it?
Thanks!
I'm writing some code and I need to get the window handle of the listbox associated with a combo box. When looking in spy++, it looks like the parent of the listbox is the desktop, not the combo box. How can I programmatically find the listbox window handle?
I know I'd be looking for a window class of ComboLBox that belongs to my process, but how do I narrow that down to the specific one I am looking for?

When writing data to a web server, my tests show HttpWebRequest.ReadWriteTimeout is ignored, contrary to the MSDN spec. For example if I set ReadWriteTimeout to 1 (=1 msec), call myRequestStream.Write() passing in a buffer that takes 10 seconds to transfer, it transfers successfully and never times out using .NET 3.5 SP1. The same test running on Mono 2.6 times out immediately as expected. What could be wrong?
I'm writing code in C++, but I really like K/APL's array-oriented style.
Does anyone know of a good set of operator overloading tricks / macros / ... to allow some K/APL -style programming in C++?
Thanks!
Problem:
I want my unicode characters to be stored on disk as (rather tan utf8/16 encoding)
\u####
However, I want them dispalyed as unicode characters when opened up in vim.
I think the easiest way to acheive this is some bufopen/bufwrite script that automatically:
on opening, convert \u#### to unicode character
on writing, convert unicode characters into \u####
However, I don't know what functions to call to make this happen. Can someone lend a hand?
Thanks!
Anyone knows any library for SQL Server database backup and restore for .NET?
This actually is needed to avoid writing one new. There is so many people out there giving their libraries, but i found it strange i couldn't came up with googling anything related.
Hi -
I'm getting JSON-encoded output from another organization's API.
In many cases, the output can be either an array of objects (if there are many) or an object (if there's just one). Right now I'm writing tortured code like this:
if ( is_array($json['candidateList']['candidate'][0]) ) {
foreach ($json['candidateList']['candidate'] as $candidate) {
// do something to each object
}
}
else {
// do something to the single object
}
How can I handle it so the "do something" part of my code only appears once and uses a standard syntax?
See the indent guides? They're damn helpful when writing Python code. Any chance I could get something similar for gedit? I wouldn't mind having to write my own plugin, as long as it's in Python... So:
Is there a plugin for this which works with gedit?
If not, would it be possible to write one in Python.
Hi there, I want to know if I can get all the INSERTs that are inserted at my database, from once.
Writing just once ... I want that shows me all the inserts with the data and everything that was inserted in the moment of insertion. Not just the data, but everything including the INSERTs, is this possible?
I'm using SQL server 2008,

I'm looking for a decent open source salon management system to recommend to a friend. I've considered writing a new system in .Net but the website aspect is already covered. What's really required at this stage is an decent reservation and stock management application that I could put in place for them.
If there are recommendations for commericial pacakages which are reasonably priced I would also like to hear them.
Thanks.

I'm writing a little client using Ruby and Savon. The interface changed significantly from version 0.7 to 0.8.x. All my calls don't work anymore :-(.
How can I pass on a local member variable.
Please see the example, @userName and @userPassword are not defined within the block.
begin
@response = @authentication_svc.request :wsdl, "AuthenticateUser" do
http.headers["SOAPAction"] = "AuthenticateUser"
soap.body = "#{@userName}#{@passwd}"
end
rescue Savon::SOAP::Fault = e
@last_soap_error = e.message
end

Good day, colleagues!
Tell me please, how to make a dynamic xpath-parsing:
for example, instead of writing $domXPath-query('//[(@id = "article-id-18")]');
- write something like that $domXPath-query('//[(@id = "article-id-*")]');, because in my case, the site's script generate (every time) a new id for block, that contains article's text?
So question, is above.
Hi,
I'm currently integrating facebook into my current app and I've succeeded in retrieving the access_token using the following code:
url="#{url}?#{client_id}&#{client_secret}&#{code}&#{redirect_uri}&type=client_cred"
agent = Mechanize.new
page = agent.get(url)
The page object above has a body which contains text something along the lines of
access_token=XXXXX
I just want to pull out the access_token value. I can get the entire string simply by writing:
page.body
But I was wondering is there a way to get the access_token value without resorting to regular expressions etc?
Thanks.

I used ChapterTool from Apple, but it's broken and discontinued since 2005..
Is there any other similar command line tool, or library (I'm writing in ruby..) ?
I'm in the process of writing a small lisp interpreter in haskell. In the process i defined this datatype, to get a less typed number;
data Number = _Int Integer
| _Rational Rational
| _Float Double
deriving(Eq,Show)
Compiling this fails with the following error:
ERROR "types.hs":16 - Syntax error in data type declaration (unexpected `|')
Line 16 is the line w. the first '|' in the code above.
