AndreRyan Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 What do you want to Emulate? Quote .Net allows software to be written for any version of Windows and not break like Unmanaged applications unless using Unmanaged procedures like APIs. If your program uses large amounts of memory but releases it when something else needs it, then what's the problem?
bobbynad Posted September 24, 2003 Author Posted September 24, 2003 Thanks , I have been assigned a new Job to develop a program which will be used on VT100 emulators connected to server through WAN. I am new to such projects , I would like to know the process to initiate this type of project. Quote

*Experts* Nerseus Posted September 30, 2003 *Experts* Posted September 30, 2003 How much programming experience do you have? How much in .NET? There are a number of emulator programms on the market. Why not just buy one if that's what your company needs? There are also a number of custom controls that act as emulators that you might look into as well. To create an emulator from scratch is a VERY big task. It involves talking through the network at a semi-low level to access the data and handle the drawing yourself (not GDI, but handling the cursor placement and text placement, etc.). It's not something that should be taken up as a week or two project. I think I used a product from JRiver a few years ago. I may be confusing it with something else though :) We talked to IBM 3270 terminals and also to a custom mainframe based application through telnet. It was ugly. Now if you want to actually write something to be used on an emulator, that's another story. I was assuming you wanted your app to communicate with a server. -nerseus Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.
