I'm not really sure where best to ask this question (and these days if you ask a question in the wrong forum, you're asking for a good flaming).
I'm wondering if there is a control already available to create a fly-out toolbar like in VS2005 -- you know, like they do for the toolbox, properties, solution explorer, etc. I like the way it is docked to the side, and the way it autohides, but can also be pinned to stay visible. Is there already a control for that? If not, then my next question becomes if I was to try to write one myself, what do you think I should inherit from -- should I derive from a dialog, a toolstrip, a groupbox, a splitter or completely write it from scratch? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I would like to see an article on calculating BigO, written in such away that it is easy to understand. What I am talking about is an article that takes an algorithm like "Hopcroft's minimization" and breaks it down one piece at a time. The algorithm that is broken down does not really matter as long as the break down is detailed enough that all of us can understand it. A better choice would probably be for someone to break down the different basic sorting algorithms, so that even a novice would know what a statement like O(log N) means.
I would also like to see an article on set theory, written in plain English. Recently I had to decipher several equations written using set theory notation, what a nightmare. I can explain the code that resulted just fine, but ask me to provide the solution using set theory notation and you are out of luck. It kind of reminds me of those books that claim that you can understand it if you are familiar with basic algebra and then proceeds to throw math at you that is way beyond the basics. What I am asking for is an article that breaks down the symbols (equations) used in set theory and give a detailed explanation of what they mean. For instance, if you have the article handy you will be able to take the equations written in set notation and translate them into actual working code or take working code and translate it into set notation. Reading a PHD candidates thesis is all well and good, but it would be nice if those of us without a PHD could understand what they are talking about.
The above requests are examples of one reason I am going back to school, after all these years. The second reason is that I want to teach programming and I need a master’s degree to do that. The way I see it, if you can not explain it in such away that the average intelligent person can understand it then either you are tired of the subject [take it for granted] or you do not really understand it.

Hello everyone...
Im trying to create an installation wizard for an application that i have written, I know that it could be done using the "Setup n Deployment" project in VS dot net..
All i require to do is, on click of the install wizard icon(that i create using VS DOT NET), a .reg file(that i have created using regedit)should be invoked that will create a button on the IE browser.
can i make this happen?
IS there any installation wizard creation manual/doc/tutorial available?
Pls help me...
Regards
Annie (Jo)

Well lets see I guess you already know how to add a setup project to your main Solution, right?
Next Right Click on the Setup Project and see in the context menus View.
There are several views available
File System
Registry
File Types
User Interface
Custom Actions
Launch Condidtions
Each has a page of its own in a VS Setup Project
You would add your files to the File System Section and your added Registry entries to the Registry page. A setup project actually produces an MSI and an executable that runs the msi file.
Perhap I will write an article as one of my current articles references building MSI installations but doesn't explain it in any detail.

Hi,
My question is
I have to develop an application where to fill the i rectangular boxes of different sizes in similar containers where 85% volume should be utilised . procedure is
1.user should enter the values like length,breadth , height of N rectangular boxes
2.First thing is our program should select some boxes randomly and try to fit in container,. try all the possible combinations of all boxes so that maximum volume used.once best combination reached,replicate combination to other container as all containers has same size and try to fit in the container.
3.Repeat the same step for remaining boxes and try to fill all the boxes in M containers
4.Filling the boxes in container we can use any approach.
5.output should be 3D Grapical containers where position of each box is shown
for example
if 7th container has box no 23 ,29 63 ,79
output should be in 3D with exact location of each boxe in the container should be shown
IMPORTANT THING IS U HAVE FREEDOM TO USE ANY SOFTWARE

Unless your files will compress down to <700megs, you'll need to split them in two. Ideally you shoudl have your installer prompt for disk2 at the 50% mark.
The ugly solution would be to just split your installer into a 2part selfextractor burn both parts onto disks. Have the extractor then put the 1gig installer on the clients HD and run it from there. As a user that sort of setup would make me look into your competitors products and use your CDs as coasters if at all possible.

i think i faild to explain what the problem is,
look i have the Visual Studio.NET as 2 big files and every time i setup the Visual Studio i must install Virtual CD5 to read this 2 files and setup from it so, i whant to creat installation CDs from this 2 big files (1GB), its only one file i cant open it or see its content without the Virtual CD.
i hope you get it now, and sorry because my english is very bad

Just to make sure I'm following correctly this time, you've got VS on 2 cd images that are each <700megs but total 1gig combined.
Assuming they're a standard format, what you need is a cd burning program like Nero or EasyCdCreator. There're free ones but I don't know any names off the top of my head. If they're an odd format you might need the program that ripped them but your virtualCD software being able to handle would argue against it.

Yes you understand me now,
i have 2 images the first is (VSENARD1.000)1.38GB the 2nd is (VSENARD1.001)1.01GB. And i have nero and i tried to burn it to cd by i get error told me no enouph disk space because its more than 700 MB.
Do you have any idea ?

Are you sure they're not DVD images? You can't burn something that big onto a CD.
|
|
|
|

Actually they are an DVD image,
is that any way to burn the DVD image to a CD ??

Burn it onto a DVD. The cost of a DVD writer less than the cost of workarounds.

Hi, you can try with split programs; in this case you can find more programs for solve your problem.I, after same experiences, tried "split144", and find it very good.
This is because this program is same dos compact file and not search any dll to install.
Result is only a batch and your file segmented.

I think the OPs goal was to burn the files as functional install CDs so that he would be able to install directly from them without having to clear several extra GB on his HD first. Your solution is only valid for archival purposes.

Is same thing; if you've a simple floppy dos, you can split it with batch and try to install image. Into question is not very clear; is not environment,if virtual machine or simple machine, if can boot with other peripherals(flash memory, ecc.), if is into network.
After is missing all this responses, i can send only previous information

P.S.Is first time that i reply into this forum

if it is only one giga there might be a solution to this !!!!!!!
