VB.NET 2005 embedded MSPAINT

Good afternoon all,

I have a VB.NET 2005 application that I'm looking to add some
functionality to.

The basic idea is to have a place where the user can create a little
sketch and save it. When the user saves it I need to (behind the
scenes) save the picture file and the location of the picture file.
I'm going to put the location of the picture in a database for the user
to call up later.

My problem is that I can't find a program out there that will "easily"
do the sketch piece.

I had throught to perhaps find a little MSPAINT.EXE ocx that I could
call within my form. However I have been unable to locate one.

I'm open to any suggestions on what I should use. My only concern is
that it be "simple" and "free"

Thanks all.

Having problems with this code.

If the string returned in info.Arguments is in say c:\pics\pic1.bmp then it loads fine. Only when

Does it make sense to go ahead with the third edition of the book using

Which platform should I invest my time in learning and why ?

What's the best way to launch MSPAINT c:\image.bmp from a VBA procedure. Seeking the route with the least number of complications. Hopefully there will be no more complications than if I clicked START and typed in the command myself.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
