I need to get a bit of development done...

[Churchill]

Who brought me into this?

Well, when a mummy and a daddy love each other very much...

"Bloody kids"

Who brought me into this?

Don't be like that!

If you help the boy out then great.

I just thought you'd made assumptions on the development environment before knowing what the requirements were.

Ah well.

No worries Churchill - a rather than a in my last post might have conveyed my intended sentiment better.

Hey - thanks!

[Churchill]

Hence the subtle "might" caveat in my original statement - so subtle you missed it. And the project could always include a C++ DLL component or device driver if required.

Other than the fact that the software has to run on a windows tablet thing, what are the requirements.

What is the software supposed to do? Are there any time critical components that would require some low-level optimised code?

Yes, if you want it to run slowly, and take 10x longer to develop, with built-in memory leaks, null pointer exceptions, out of memory errors and strange threading issues, use the "superior" unmanaged plain vanilla ANSI C++ and MFC option

HTH

Failing that use someone who knows what the f**k they're doing.

Btw, run slowly? Where the hell do you get that from?

I'd be happy to assist as well - C#/.NET sounds like it might fit the bill in this case.

Fits what bill? Have you seen the requirements?

Indeed... I've never explored the Microsoft® Windows™ for the Tablet PC™ Platform incorporating the Microsoft® .NET™ API for the Tablet PC™ platform (see the appropriate EULAs for details) so I'm not sure where to start

Do keep up at the back.

Just think "Windows with pens"

It needs to run on Windows. Sadly - on one of those tablet things.

Shouldn't this be in the business section?

But as I'm on the bench and have done C++/MFC and only work on Windows. I'd be interested. yeah.

Folks, a question.

I need to get something developed. Now, eveh with my limited knowledge of these things, I can see that it wouldn't take long; having met NickFitz, I am confident he could do it in an afternoon.

Anyone wanna help? Know anyone who does? Paid, natch.
