• Cazz88 Nullable Types In VB 2005

  In one of the MSDN articles on the C# enhancements for the 2005 version, there is a mention of Nullable Types (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/2005/overview/language/nullabletypes/). Will Nullable Types be also available in VB 2005 I hope so, as Nullable Types is the only language feature that I find compelling enough to make me want to switch. A.K. No the differences don't go beyond syntax. You have ...Show All

• badseed2379 Size in bytes of a boolean

  How do I get the size, in bytes, of a boolean variable It appears to be a single (1) byte by empirical testing, but the documentation seems to imply that it depends upon the 'implementing platform'. (for example, an IntPtr has a size property, which returns the size of the pointer in bytes). But how would I get the size of the boolean (in bytes) implemented on the platform it's running on   You're going to hat ...Show All

• John Clark Accessing a running program's ram

• spncc PDF Nightmare

  I have been searching the world for a free, or at least cost effective solution to add the ability to save PDF files within my programs. All of the solutions that I have been pointed at cost at least $3000 for a full redistribution license! I'll be lucky if I sell 1 copy of my software at a price of $25, so I can't possibly see the point of spending that much money. So this leads me to two solutions: 1.
