Thread: Help with assignment

Started 1 month, 1 week ago by pawpro
I have plenty of specific questions. Let's start with: Provided one needs to write the simple application* in plain c++ (OO) with graphical interface (windows specific syntax/libraries and not plain c++) and use of threads. Which model will be most suitable (Win32/MFC etc.)? Why? *Say simple RSS reader/archiver with background sync based on some timers and way of viewing past content+...

If you have the MFC9 feature pack for VS2008, download the samples: Descriptions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb983962.a spx Direct Download link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang =en There's a lot of neat stuff MS has put together to show off the MFC9 features. This will give you some ideas on what is possible with MFC9 and may be able to push ...

Will such an application compile on any VS 2008? I need to bring the source to school and they will try to compile. Failed compilation equals 0 mark for the project.

You see Skizmo and Hoxiew if I could chat to somebody on skype or otherwise and pay him say 40 euros (for 2 hours) I would have the above within 30 seconds and not 24 hours. I'm pretty much nowhere still (although I appreciate your suggestions). I don't understand why would you be so reluctant in wanting to answer those questions one to one in an interactive way.

I know that it needs to compile on VS 2008. My work must mostly comprise of plain C++ (that's what the course is about). That's it. He told me that he doesn't care what wizard I'm going to use but it must be VS 2008, compile in it without adjustments and do useful stuff (as described above).

Being on this forum for a long time you know how people are and I don't blame you for expecting laziness and "bugging" for "one" more answer. Hoxsiew you are being unfair because I clearly explained my intentions in an email sent to you yesterday NOT asking for your help in this (but for referring me to someone who would be willing as I recognise that you have more important things to do than ...

Than you Arjay that is probably the best thing I can do (rent a coder that is I'm afraid). I did not mean to offend anybody and I do know that my reasoning may "appear" flawed. Thank you once again everybody and keep up the good work!

You must have me confused with someone else. I received no email (and I believe it is private on this forum).

I didn't respond to your email for the same reasons as the others. Folks get into a programming class and for whatever reasons, find that it is harder than they expect so we (forum members) are constantly getting asked about helping either for free or pay. Bottom line is that you aren't going to be able to learn a language in 2 hours no matter if you are paying someone. If you are interested in learning then you are going to have to...
