I am making a 2.5D rendering engine. I assume (with the knowledge that I've gotten from reading online) that doing the rendering work using the GPU will be faster than using the CPU.
Is this possible with .net? If so, is this a correct situation to utilize the GPU?
I'm also using VB.net, however all .net examples will apply.
I am sure this can be done, as Visual Studio is basically built this way. What I want to do is simply make a class that my other workmates can use. But rather than have it in a code form, I want to build it (partially), and then my workmate can add it into their programs (sort of, like the add reference for the .NET stuff).

I'm building a website which will have a Spanish and Italian version.
In the past, when building a site which must be available in different languages, I've created a SQL Table like follows:
dbo.News
--------
ID int
EnglishTitle nvarchar(200)
SpanishTitle nvarchar(200)
[Code]....
However, I've found this really time consuming (especially if the client later asks for another language option as a second phase).
What is the best practice for doing something like this, allowing scope for extra languages?
I am trying to develop a chat application using Visual Basic 2008. I have referred some articles on the internet like [URL]...rogramming.htm and got the concept of connecting and sending data. But when it comes to real world chat applications, there is user authentication and all that. So I was wondering if it is possible to make my own Windows Live Messenger or Yahoo Messenger!!. I searched web for such a sample or source code, but could not find any. Has anyone here created such an application??

Are there BDD/TDD tools available for .NET? What resources should I look at?

I would like to develop a queue application in VB for a clinic, so that when a patient comes, he is entered in a queue as he waits. A doctor picks the next available patient in the queue and a message is posted in the screen for that patient to go to the doctors room. How do i do this?
View 21 RepliesI am developing a regex/pattern tester in vb.net where I have three textbox's:
- Textbox1: Here I enter my regular expression for pattern matching in textbox2
- Textbox2: Upload the plain-texts from dB and then look for a match
- Textbox3: Displays the result of the search.
Now the issue I am having is when I enter a regular expression in **Textbox1** and click search it is unable to find any matching pattern even though I have made sure a matching text is present in the paragraph.But whereas, if I enter the non-regex word/text itself in Textbox1 it is able to find a match.
In my button click_event I have initiated all the relavent regex functions etc but still not able to figure out why it wont except regex expressions instead of the word itself.Here is the code I am using for pattern search:
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim m As Match
Dim re As Regex
Dim matches As MatchCollection

View 4 RepliesI am developing an application using VB.Net which is a simple executable which is to be run from a network drive of our company servers. Most users can access this executable without issue - others however can open the executable but have no connection to our database (even though when running the executable off a local drive such as C:, the database works no problem).
From some posts I have seen this might be a CAS issue - however our IT department suggest the issue might be down to different version of the .NET Framework being to blame. Firstly, is this the issue? Secondly, how can I develop my application to work with different versions of the .NET Framework? Surely this doesn't mean developing many different executables?

Where I work we need to rewrite a bunch of tools for a software package called ArcGIS. These tools were written in VB6, by someone who is a very beginner programmer.We need to transition these to .NET in order to work with a new release of the ArcGIS software due to come out soon. I am having trouble convincing the 'powers that be' that we need to take a new approach to the development of these tools. they are all in a single VB Project, but what I want to do is to break these tools up into seperate projects in either VB or C#, compile dll's, and then use them as needed.....more of a 'modular' approach in my eyes. That way many people can develop many tools at the same time.
Can anyone point me to some weblinks or articles on how to properly develop in a team environment so I can try to convince the powers that be that we need to change the way we are doing things.
Below I have the create script for a table. It works great but for some reason it doesn't include the Keys, Constrains, Triggers or Indexes. I am having little luck finding documentation on how to do this. Most of the example I can find is in C# as well.
