Macros to simulate multi-tasking/blocking code at interrupt level.        
Total Hits: 11  |  Today: 1 Author: Eddy Quicksall       Rating:

A user level system uses multi-threading (a.k.a blocking threads), however for most interrupt driven code, system multi-threading is not used. This document describes a set of macros called MT_CALL which simulate multi-threading systems. Using these macros has two major advantages: (1) it uses only one system thread to support thousands of I/O threads, (2) an operating system is not required and (3) it supports threads on the interrupt level....

I am somehow sure that most of us have some time in their software development career, come across the need to skip the Windows login screen, for instance an installer class making some changes that require a Windows restart. Well, that's exactly what I will demonstrate in a very simple way in this article... rebooting and logging into Windows XP using C# (.NET 2.0)....

Displaying Attachments with Data View Web part Part 1

Sharepoint Designer’s Data View Web part is a great control. I use it a lot when customizing list views. One thing I don’t like is lack of attachment support. With Data View you can only detect if item has or has not attachments. You can’t display them or get any information about them. As I understand Microsoft does not recommends any recursion while enumerating lists and maybe this is the reason you can’t browse item’s attachments. I solved this issue in two ways. One is using Lists.asmx web s...

This control (HoverGradientButton) is very easy to use; graphic and chromatic interface results have a great impact. The original idea is from a good article by Victor Boba (thanks Victor!). HoverGradientButton has a lot of properties, but default properties let the programmer to have a full ready-to-use interface with Office 2003 style. The component supports three different styles: HoverNormal, HoverCheck and HoverOption, that make the HoverGradientButton work respectively as normal Button, Ch...

Have you ever created an application that showed an animation in your window? You probably have, and if you have not, you probably will someday. The coding is really simple: you take a Panel and you add a thread to it that calls the repaint method every x milliseconds. Done? No, it's not quiet over yet. Because, if you leave it like that, the screen will flash and flicker, and your animation will end up partially painted, or not painted at all. The solution for this is the infamous double buffer...

The purpose of this article is to explain the structures associated with an ico file and an icon resource. The code examples will demonstrate the use of those structures and how to embed the structures in a DLL file. I started to work on my own resource hacker because I needed to automate string and icon replacement in a dell file. I started reading on MSDN about working with libraries and the basic functions for working with resources. I learned that enumerating resources, and opening resourc...
