Multilingual Addresses So I just read on Google News that ICANN said it "would declare an end to the exclusive use of Latin characters for website addresses" 1, but it doesn't really educate the readers on the significance of this change. It's my understanding...

Passing a 'Type' of type 'AbstractPotato'. I have a class that takes in a variable of type 'Type'. It later casts the instance of this type to its respective type. /* set during setup of the class */ public Type abstractpotatotype; /* {much later in the code} */ AbstractPotato...

[CIL] Where are Embedded Resources stored? I'm considering storing a large file as an embedded resource for sake of easier distribution. However, I'm worried that this will cause the RAM requirements of the application to double, as the embedded resource might be stored in RAM when the app...

[solved] Assembly Loading and Obfuscation Tools Because I'm running some obfuscation tools, I cannot assume the name or order of types in the assembly I'm loading. The simplest example of this is my rendering code, I have an abstract class "cRendererControl" that both cFrostDirectX and cFrostOp...

Should I use a database for this? At the moment, my code is expected to be able to store 20971520+ entities on the harddrive, and be able to modify/add small bunches of entities extremely fast. However, because it's impossible to know where to seek to, it has to recreate the ent...

Vista and Folders (bug?) Please keep in mind that "Never happens on my machine." is not helping anyone. If you want to allege that "It's just your machine!" please provide some insight as to why (for example: "Your anti-virus software (AVG) must be messing with explorer...

Vista Thumbnail Coding I was installing a video codec a while back, and noticed it had an option for showing a thumbnail of the video file in explorer. Looking at some of my audio and video collections, I'd love be to able to specify write a plugin for explorer that wou...

Readonly members of an array or list. I have a book, which is basically either an array of pages, or a List<> of pages. The pages are intended to be READONLY; I don't want it to be possible to compile MyBook[2] = null; public abstract cPages[] MyBook { get; } Essentially,...

Overhead of instantiating assemblies loaded from a file. What I want to do is -- instead of grouping (in bundles of about 5) cars (that implement abstract class "motor vehicle") in a dll. Have each car a dll. So instead of my game having about 10 car-set dlls, it has 50 car dlls. Now, the overhead of lo...

Point-to-Point Protocol over.... ok you lost me. I'm getting ready to host my MMMMORPG1 [lol] Frostwinds again (after having it been offline for almost a year). But I'm having some difficulties setting up the network again (the guy who helped me with it last year "jumped"). Frostwinds in Early 2...

Why is remote desktop like molasses on a LAN? Quote:Original post by Sirisian hmm I tested RDP with windows 7 from my computer to my brother's a few days ago. We're both using windows 7 and using the wireless router in the house. Runs perfectly. Maybe older versions of RDP act differently. I...

[solved] Assembly Loading and Obfuscation Tools Quote:Original post by Codeka There's a mistake there: you want to return the type of the class, not the type of the interface it implements (i.e. return TheTypes[TheLoop] instead). Yup, that and, for some reason ([rolleyes]) my BaseType wasn't s...
