• Visual Studio Express Editions I need help

  Hi my son Brent is wanting to learn how to program he is only 15 but knows alot about computers. What would be the best way and best programming laguage to learn. Also is there ne programming schooled that he could go to and how old do you have to be. Thnx Stacy The hardest thing about learning programming is learning the basics that apply to all programming languages.

• Windows Forms Noob Question

  Hi folks, new here - glad to find the forum! I have a basic question regarding debug output. I was reading the FAQ and it states that I can use the Console::WriteLine and ::Write methods to get output when I launch my application in debug mode. Now, in MS Visual C++ .NET, the Debug menu lists F5 to "Start" and CTRL+F5 to "Start without Debugging", so I assumed that by pressing F5 I'm launching my app in debug mode. However, when I do this, I'm not seeing a window of any kind outputting my test commands... any idea on what's going on here Thanks, Zero Try this and let m ...Show All

What format are the icons/bitmaps that get inserted when you choose "Insert standard items" on a menustrip If you inspect the System.Drawing.Image's that get loaded, it's plain to see that they don't actually contain any raw data, but rather point to a nativeImage (some integer). I see that the format is RGBA. I want to be able make such partially transparent icons/bitmaps myself (for ex. the "new" icon has totally transparent sections on either side of the document).
