I'd like to see some C++ articles on DirectX 9 particularly with Vertex Buffers, that would be nice. Its such an easy area to fall over on it would be nice to have various articles guide us down the right path.

I've been meaning to write a Direct3D 9 article based on some of my experiences writing my engine, but just haven't had any time (or specific ideas).
Are you looking for a basic intro to Direct3D or how to do something more specific?

Although it was not my post; a model loder with explination of the diffent models would be most useful. Md3,Maya, ... and whatever else is out there

Hi guys,
I am not quite sure if this is the right place to put this but forgive me if it is not.
I have recently being toying with the idea of developing what i can quite inadequately only describe as a remote desktop. This will bear similarities with a citrix system on a network, except it will not primarily be on a network.
Imagine if you would a platform with a reliable internet connection, it need not have any applications installed apart from a client side application. This application allows it to embed within it any application for which it is licensed(an authorised client/subscriber) to use from a server running those applications.
Essentially it will be like having your c:\Program Files drive on a remote server. One would not necesarily need to have an application to use it. It may be possible to work around licensing by charging on a per thread/per single use basis.
Initial responses are that this domain is too vast for single developer implementation. As such it would be worthwhile identifying potential problem areas and contributing to those.
A totally simplistic, if at all realistic approach will be to use a common interface/ medium across all platforms ie www. and embed applications in typical applet style.
If there is any interest, critisism, contributions or any help on this and relating issues I would be most grateful for some feedback. I am considering this as a potential degree project.
Direct contact will also be welcome.

Let me understand that: basically, what you want is a Terminal Services which allows you to map your local drives and printers? Well, Terminal Services does allow you this...

not really. I want to be able to run applications that are not installed on my pc...if only for a single use. Possibly done by embedding the requested application in a client side platform application.
essentially, i want to be able to view and edit a word document without having to install microsoft word on my PC.(hypothetically ofcourse)

This sounds like terminal services to me and I would personally not recommend it. I have used many times with a 100 base link and the performance is not very good. I think you are also forced to restrict your desktop to 8 bit color. It might work if everyone had gigabit ethernet but that will be a few years...

I love terminal services. Infact I probably couldn't do my job without it. Being able to TS into a clients server and look at their database problems without having to be on site is a god send.
My favourite TS session is connecting to an internet facing terminal server, connecting to it. Using TS client on that session to connect to an internal server and from the internal server connect to my desktop machine via netmeeting.

I should clarify my comment. I actually use terminal services every day to administer my servers from my desktop and to compile my software on my pc from a remote workstation. I like it very much in this case but I could not recommend it for its intended purpose as a thin client where everyone runs their applications directly off a central server. It may be just me but I would go nuts if my pc was setup in this manner. The response time of windows are just too slow even with an 8 bit desktop and a 100 base TX full duplex connection.

Pc anywhere is similar to this, and is much better than terminal service, and more optimized than citrix. We use all three products here at my corperation.

:-Oit will be nice to see some articles on how access hardware with c/c++,for example access motherboard or detect bios settings and like so.

It would be interesting, but why do it? The whole Windows model is intended to make such details transparent. There are calls in the Windows Native API that allow a lot of very low level access, but most require kernel mode access and could be quite hazardous to use. The Win32 API is a wrapper that abstracts a lot of this functionality and presents it in a safer form. If you really want to play with it, get a copy of the Windows DDK and look at some of the examples available.

I got all excited when the CodeProject newsletter arrived with a link to an article on ASP.NET server-side rollover controls ("Just your basic image rollover control, using server controls," it promised.) Just what I'm about to tackle!
Sadly, the link is broken and I can't find the article. Where'd it go?

You can create a ImageButton. Then, you can add attributes like
ImageButton1.Attributes.Add("onMouseOver", "this.src='go.gif'");
ImageButton1.Attributes.Add("onMouseOut", "this.src='submit.gif'");
This will create an image rollever effect. I can say that this is a server-side control having a rollover effect established in the client-side. I think I answered your question.....

I would like to see some one write some tutorials on BOOST. I see that there are a lot of people that like it however every time I look at it I can't figure it out enough to use it. I don't know if it is me or what but I find the documentation that accompanies the library of little or no use.

I'm in the process of updating our app to look more XP.
One of the things I've been doing is Letterbox mode (or widescreen).
For an example look at the XP login screen (non-networked/home edition).
I have a set of classes that do all the hard work.
Is this of interest to anyone?

I think, there will be sure some ppl who want to look on it. e.g. I'll at least look at the implementation and results

It looks like codeproject is only for C++ and C# people. This web administrator lacks knowledge in VB. so chris doesn't entertain articles about vb
