What is the best 2D graphics library for Windows Mobile?

The title speaks for itself... I've tried to find another question like it but must have missed it if it exists. I'm looking for anything, from a core library replacing GAPI to a .net wrapper... It's for building a nice UI so no 3D needed... ...

Is there a c# library for wrapping multiple SCM provider's APIs?

The project I'm working on requires access to the users source control. To do this we are wrapping the Perforce API and the Subversion API ( using P4.NET and SubversionSharp respectively ). We would like to support as many as we can depending on user requirements and I've tried googling for an existing library but no luck. Does a C# li...

Why won't my program run unless Visual Studio 2008 is installed?

I have written a game that uses GLUT, OpenGL and FMOD. The problem is that the binary won't run, unless Visual Studio 2008 is installed on the computer. Why is this? ...

Error Correction Libraries?

I'm interested in using a Reed-Solomon error correction [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed%E2%80%93Solomon_error_correction as a reference] to try to rebuild files from partial bits of a file. I'm doing this as a personal interest. I recently read about WuaLa [http://www.wua.la/] and I'm interested in how they leverage Reed-Solomon to r...

ApplicationSettings across libraries

I'm trying to abstract out all database code into a separate library and then use that library in all my code. All database connections are done using typed TableAdapters that I create by dragging and dropping in datasets in VS2005, using a connection string from the appSettings. The problem that I haven't been able to solve is that .Ne...

How do I extract Word documents from data recovered from USB device?

I have been able to copy the raw data from an otherwise inaccessible USB drive into a monolithic file of about 250MB. Somewhere in that blob of bytes are about 40 Word documents. Where do I find documentation about the internal structure of Word documents such that I can parse the byte-stream, recognise where a Word doc starts and fin...

Which C++ signals/slots library should I choose?

I want to use a signals/slots library in a project that doesn't use QT. I have pretty basic requirements: Connect two functions with any number of parameters. Signals can be connected to multiple slots. Manual disconnection of signal/slot connection. Decent performance - the application is frame-based (e.g. not event-based) and I want...

Output library project XML to asp.net bin folder on build?

I have a visual studio 2005 solution which has a web application and a class library project. The web application has a reference to the library project. I'd like the library project's code documentation XML to output to the web application's bin folder, along with the library's DLL. I can't seem to find any easy way of doing this. ...

Syntax Highlighting library in ActionScript

I let user enter some code in my Flex3 (Flash 10) app and I want to do syntax highlighting. Is there any open-source library that would help me? I'll need a Lua syntax support, but I can add it myself if library has a resonable interface to do this. ...

Best way to use Javascript's "good parts"

On Stackers' recommendation, I have been reading Crockford's excellent Javascript: The Good Parts. It's a great book, but since so much of it is devoted to describing the best way to use Javascript's basic functionality, I'm not sure how I can put his advice into practice without duplicating the efforts of many other Javascript programm...

Function call jumps to the wrong function.

I am compiling a c++ static library in vs2008, and in the solution i also have a startup project that uses the lib, and that works fine. But when using the lib in another solution i get an run-time check failure. "The value of ESP was not properly saved across a functioncall" Stepping through the code i noticed a function foo() jumping...

Which ASP.NET Diagramming Library/Control do you Recommend?

I'm looking for an ASP.NET library or control (preferably in C#) to create workflow diagrams from business processes. Edit: To clarify, the necessary info (task, holder, status, etc.) is stored in a database, and I just want to give the user the ability to view a workflow diagram of the process. I have come across the following commerc...

Size of a library and the executable

Hi, I have a static library *.lib created using MSVC on windows. The size of library is say 70KB. Then I have an application which links this library. But now the size of the final executable (*.exe) is 29KB, less than the library. What i want to know is : Since the library is statically linked, I was thinking it should add directly t...

Serialize Data Structures in C

I'd like a C library that can serialize my data structures to disk, and then load them again later. It should accept arbitrarily nested structures, possibly with circular references. I presume that this tool would need a configuration file describing my data structures. The library is allowed to use code generation, although I'm fairly ...

Suggestions for a Cron like scheduler in Python?

I'm looking for a library in Python which will provide at and cron like functionality. I'd quite like have a pure Python solution, rather than relying on tools installed on the box; this way I run on machines with no cron. For those unfamiliar with cron: you can schedule tasks based upon an expression like: 0 2 * * 7 /usr/bin/run-ba...

Geocoding libraries

Hi, I'm using python and I need to map locations like "Bloomington, IN" to GPS coordinates so I can measure distances between them. What Geocoding libraries/APIs do you recommend? Solutions in other languages are also welcome. Best, Bruno ...

Best XML parser for Java

I need to read smallish (few MB at the most, UTF-8 encoded) XML files, rummage around looking at various elements and attributes, perhaps modify a few and write the XML back out again to disk (preferably with nice, indented formatting). What would be the best XML parser for my needs? There are lots to choose from. Some I'm aware of ar...

Microsoft equivalent of the nm command

I've long used cygwin's nm command for all my .lib symbol debugging needs, but recently I thought about referring to it in a SO answer and realized that most Windows developers don't have cygwin installed. So what is the Microsoft equivalent to nm, i.e., what command will list the symbols exported by a .lib file, the undefined symbols i...

What are the Python 3000 compatible libraries?

I am a big fan of the Python programming language, and I am quite excited about the Python 3000 release (especially for the Unicode stuff). In order to try it out, I would like to write a script or two using Python-3000-compatible libraries. I looked around but I couldn't find any python-3000 compatible library: Numpy, Django, Python I...

How to create a compiled, redistributable class library in Silverlight?

Is it possible to create a small library (similar to a Flash or Flex SWC component) that can be used in Silverlight apps? Since I'm a Flash and Flex developer, I'll relate it. In Flex, if I have a SWC I can add it to my build path and then immediately use its included classes and functions in my project. Similarly, in Flash if I add a S...
