Hello,
First of all AmiBroker is NOT created using C# or any other .NET-thingy.
AmiBroker is native Win32 application developed in C++ (namely good old Visual C++ 6.0)
Yes I bought Visual Studio 2005 but I use it solely to compile 64 bit binaries.
I find VS2005 as buggy and not finished product and painfully slow.
All .NET languages are waste of
time for me (why on earth should one move from truly compiled language to
slow, interpreted IL-driven .NET thingy?).
The only good thing in VS2005 is native binary C++ compiler (for unmanaged code).
Here is one story from current Microsoft employee that tells the story behind
VS2005:
http://minimsft.blogspot.com/2005/11/hey-shareholders-vs-2005-is-fantastic.html
As to:
> I did try the example you gave
again and again and again: USE LATE BINDING (the SECOND example in the knowledge
base, NOT THE FIRST !!!!)
