Good use of the word "thingy", duude!
You're cracking me up!!
d
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
!!!!)
