I want to know how to do a simple Screen Shot, of the entire desktop (this is gonna be for my school's library so itll be hidden) Also some recommendations on what is a good (fast) compression method to use? i was thinking zlib or ZRLE or Hextile or CoRRE or RRE, but im not that familar with them and was hoping that the framework possibliy had a bulit-in compression library im looking for speed over anything!! (the school has a 100mbit lan and i only plan on updating the pictures every 30 seconds to 5 mins.. Thanks, Andrew

Thoughts on Software Piracy Personally i think that software that can reach a LARGE audiance is the most profitable for a programmer, because the amount of people that can purchase your software isnt just limited to one company or person, and all the code you make is yours! Now the issue of software piracy comes into play: Say you wrote a program and sold it for $10 say 100 people buy it, you make $1000 Now what if 15,000 download it for free (piracy) but only 10% buy it, you still make $1500 So software piracy can be helpful... (just an example) so anyways doing custom jobs is good for quick money but making comsumer software is more profitable in the long run, IMO Thats just my 2 cents Thanks, Andrew

Thanks, Andrew -------------- VB.NET Newbie

Hi, I have a problemwith using the DataGrid Control, i want to add data and specifiy which row AND column the data is to be put. just like in VB6 MSFlexGrid.TextMatrix(row,col) = "data" i dont want the DataGrid to be bound to a database, i want to interact (mostly writing to the datagrid) directly Thanks, Andrew

14 for me I started pretty recently, only about 6 months on VB6 just started (this week infact) VB.NET, played with some VC++ but nothing more then source code off websites and some added stuff, i have always been good at making scripts in mIRC (best chatting client) and make .bat files stuff like that , just recently thugh getting serious, so i would say i started when i was 14 (im 15 now) :p Andrew
