Hi
I have a program that I had written in Managed C++ that writes messages to the console while running. I wanted to allow the user to enter commands at the console as well, but this became difficult since the console was continuously being updated with messages. I thought to write a VB front end for the program to have a console-like window (textbox) to display the messages, and a box that will allow the user to enter commands uninterrupted. My problem is mixing the two languages. If I am correct, I can compile the C++ application as a .dll file that gets imported into the VB application for use. But the original program is the one that does the writing to the console - how do I capture that and redirect it to a VB textbox? I thought about setting up a Stream to a textbox, since Managed C++ can work with Streams - but I do not know if this is possible. Any ideas
Thank you
Tim

Tim,
System.Diagnost ics.Process is your friend... You can launch your app
and redirect it's stdout/stdin.

I have a problem writing self-testable modules using doctest when these
modules have internationalized strings using gettext _('...').
- The main module of an application (say app.py) calls gettext.install()
to install the special _ function inside Python builtin. Other modules,
taken from a general purpose collection of Python modules, also support
internationalisation and doctest testing.
For example:

Hi,
I'm sure this must be one of the most popular questions...
I've developed the application in VB and have some C# code which I want to
incorporate. Visual Studio seems to allow you either a VB or C# project,
neither of which can contain files from the other language. The official
method of combining languages is to create two projects under the same
solution, one for the VB code, one for the C# code. This seems pants.

Hello all,
I have a question and am seeking for some advice.
I am currently working to implement an algorithmic library. Because
the performance is the most important factor in later applications, I
decide to write it in C instead of C++. However, I thought it might be
convenient to use some C++ code at some misc places. I'm aware that, I
could always use the C++ compiler to get it work.

I've been working with C# for over a year now without touching vb.net
code. I had a few light years of vb.net before that. No real vb6 or
windows form experience.
Suddenly, I have an assignment where I've been asked to create a few
new pages on an exsisting website. The website is written in vb.net
with vb.net codebehind and classes.
My employer says I can use C# for new stuff If I want.

I was wondering what is the best concept or idea to mixing visual basic with ASP.net page that runs a SQL query on a database. The Visual Basic would be pulling data from another source that is not a database and needs to place the data results along with the SQL Query results.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
