• Visual Basic html to pdf

  Hey guys, I'm thinking about writing an application that will convert html to pdf and vise versa and I have a few questions if you don't mind. 1) Is VB.NET a good choice for such a project I can do C++ or Java if it's more reasonable. 2) What exactly should I look up I'm guessing I'll have to use a third party component for this, so please point me to one if needed.

• Visual C# How to run multiple processes with the same executable?

  Hi, I want to run multiple processes (for example 10 processes who get started after each other) after a button is pressed from a Windows form. Each process executes the same executable. For example: Process 1: ipconfig /all Process 2: ipconfig /release Process 3: ipconfig /renew Etc.

• Visual C++ Button Position in Terms of Dialog

  Hi Everyone, I have looked all over the CWnd class (or perhaps i just didn't understand a function), but how do I obtain a button's position in terms of a dialog that it's in. In other words, if I have a Dialog that is 400 by 600, and I have a button that's around the middle of the dialog, how can I get that dialogs position in terms of the Dialog window itself In VC++, I can place a button on the Dialog.... I could then call: CWnd* myButtonW ...Show All

  I have two native C++ functions: One takes a VARIANT as its argument and the other returns one. I'm compiling these functions using the Managed C++ compiler to create an IJW assembly, and I want to provide real managed functions that take and return System::Object* instead. They would just marshal the arguments and call the VARIANT version to do the real work. I know that this must be possible without too much magic involved because the ...Show All
