Windows 7 API Code Pack for .NET

The next version of Windows is only a few months away and Vista will then be consigned to the same shelf as Windows ME. Prices have recently been announced for some of the Windows 7 versions. MSDN subscribers of course have had access to the Release candidate for some time.

How to write a Share Trading Bot in C or C++

To enter the Ongoing Programming Challenge #2 you just have to supply a single source code file called bot.c or bot.cpp. The rest of this article describes how to write it.

Multiple Inheritance in C++

Using multiple inheritance in C++
Deriving directly from more than one class is usually called multiple inheritance. Since it's widely believed that this concept complicates the design and debuggers can have a hard time with it, multiple inheritance can be a controversial topic. However, multiple inheritance is an important feature in C++ and C++ programmers think of it as a very good structuring tool.

To get a taste of this, let's consider the following real world example:

Managing Database Operations Using ADO And C++

Now that we have gone over the basics, described a way to design and create ADO wrapper classes, it is now time for the final phase of creating an ADO manager class that will work on all the concepts we have discussed. Our final goal with this design is to use as little code as possible in running any of the desired SQL operations against the database. Without this ADO manager class, every time we needed to perform some kind of operation we

Operator Overloading  (C++ The Overloading Principle)

In C++ the overloading principle applies not only to functions, but to operators too. That is, the meaning of operators can be extended from built-in types to user-defined types. In this way a programmer can provide his or her own operator to a class by overloading the built-in operator to perform some specific computation when the operator is used with objects of that class. One question may arise here: is this really useful in real world

Constructors and Destructors in C++

Constructor and Destructor Order
The process of creating and deleting objects in C++ is not a trivial task. Every time an instance of a class is created the constructor method is called. The constructor has the same name as the class and it doesn't return any type, while the destructor's name it's defined in the same way, but with a '~' in front:

class String
{

public:
