C# Invalidate() only one object

Sounds like you have the random color generation in your draw function. Put it in your form load function.

Job market for software developers

Yes, definitely. I write vb .net apps for fun and have been trying to follow the popularity herd into iPhone development. A lot of the people I graduated with were the 9-5 programmer types, and I am more of the live, eat, and breathe code type.

Job market for software developers

Wow, great advice. Thanks everyone. I guess I'm a little anxious to start working since I have a lot of student loans waiting to be paid off. I'm also trying to get my house ready to put on the market and the economy isn't good for that either :/ @Mark - Resume sent. @Dhaval00 - Yes, I...

Job market for software developers

I just graduated with an MS in CS and I've been looking for a job for the past month. After 60+ applications, I've gotten 2 phone interviews and nothing past that. My grades are very good, I have a few years of relevant experience, and I know my stuff, so it's hard for me to understand what...

make a splash screen for a program w/o one?

You can make a custom shaped form, but you will still have problems with aliasing... I would programmatically make a snapshot of the desktop (and windows) where the splash screen will be positioned then draw this as the background (using GDI+) on a borderless frameless form. Then draw your...

Looking for Home Control Hardware that connects to and is programmable by computer

I'd like to automate a few things around the house and I haven't been able to find what I need to make it happen. Specifically I need some kind way to control power via my computer. (Hopefully with a product that has a .Net API) My best guess is that I would need some kind of PCI card (or...

Question for graphics pros; involves 3D models

Wow, thanks guys. Which would be better Autocad or 3DS Max for something like this? Again, I don't have a lot of experience with this kind of stuff, so simple is better.

Question for graphics pros; involves 3D models

So I have a really basic C sharp graphics engine and I'd like to convert my school's campus map into a 3D environment and load it as a directx mesh (.x) This of course would be normally very time consuming, but I figure there must be a way to make short work of it. I don't have a lot of...

Video cards in a shuttle??

Although Shuttles have less wattage their power supplies are of a much higher quality when compared to others, so they can take a lot more. Check SFFTech.com. They discuss this issue all the time there...

HTML: Font Jaggy Edges

If I am correct antialiasing is based on windows settings. The only real way (as far as I know) to guarantee antialiased text is to put it in photoshop and set the smoothing appropriately.

Nine Inch Nails - Still It's a B-Side Album included with the All That Could Have Been Live Album Find a quiet place and listen to it. You will be moved. If you don't have it now do everything you can to get it. Yes, it really is that amazing. This album is a masterpiece.

Looking for Dreamweaver help...

It drives me nuts when dreamweaver uses (p) tags for line breaks. I would rather use (br) and (a) tags for more precise control. Anyone know of a way to change how dreamweaver handles this.

I'm dumb... Visual Basic Help...

You're probably looking for something more like a list. That is a List(Of <object type> ) this way you can traverse the list with indexes and still have access to each objects properties without using a DirectCast()
