• Visual C++ timeval struct incorrect

  Hi, A question, according to the opengroup the timeval struct should store tv_sec as time_t, not as long as MS now does. Some API's return time_t, on 64bit we now get warnings.

  Hi everyone. I'm trying to access the free downloads that come with registration, but I only see the Web Developer downloads listed. I don't see the icons, components, or book that come with C#.

• Visual Basic passing data to a thread from a form

  Instead of using a class/method/delegate to pass data from a form to a thread... why not pass the data to a thread "ByRef" comments please thanks The problem is that a thread must be started with a function that has no parameters, so data is not being passed "ByVal" or "ByRef". That is why you will see the examples that will create a class to hold data used by the thread. ...Show All
