| | This purpose of this article is to explain how to send a raw Ethernet packet using C# on a Microsoft platform. A raw Ethernet packet is the complete Layer 2 network frame that is sent to the physical wire. Sending a frame like this allows you to manipulate the target and source MAC addresses and the Layer 3 protocol fields. |

| I've recently been getting into Windows SharePoint Services. I won't blather on about what it is capable of as that is well documented on the web, but suffice to say, it's a document management and collaboration portal integrated into Windows 2003 Server.
This article describes how I created a custom Web Part which i could then import into sharepoint. |

| | First of all, what is a hotspot? A hotspot is just a place where if you click, something happens. The idea behind this is you click on a particular part of your wallpaper and something opens. This is, of course, without using HTML or Active Desktop. This can be done with shortcuts or any other object that has its own icon, and it doesn't just call from something like c:\windows\system\shell32.dll (although those can be changed if you're willing to make the change global). |

| Contained herein is how to make your PC a little bit more liveable, software-wise, with
suggestions of what to get. I assume of course, that you are not a game freak, and enjoy
spending at least some of your time working on or creating "challenges", or simply enjoy
having "power" on what might otherwise seem a weak computer.

Knowledge and awareness is the first step |

| | I know many of these tricks are considered old, but they’re still goodies. All the tricks here have been tested only on Windows95/98. I’ve never tried them on Win2K, ME, or even XP, so I don’t know how many (if any) of these tricks shall work. |

| Welcome to the exciting world of modem optimization. What? Why would you want
to "optimize" your modem? I'll tell you why!
Windows comes configured for optimal performance on LAN connections.
This means that although your modem will work perfectly fine, it will not run
with maximum efficiency, and will waste time on actions which can be optimized
or even skipped upon. |

| | Before we start, id like to take a brief moment to wipe that look off your face, and talk about the age old opengl vs directx (herein dx) conundrum. DX is, and will remain for some time, the most popular games programming API (bear in mind it encompasses, graphics, sound, network and input whereas gl only deals with graphics). Glad we got that cleared up. |

| Native Windows programming, aside from games programming is possibly the most challenging field of programming there is. (Does that say much for the inventors of the API!)
Heres the first steps to accessing that API using the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) |
|
| |
| |
|
| |
| |
| | In our last adventure with MFC, we never actually accessed any classes directly, or wrote much code, today I’m going to demonstrate how easy it is to make something mildly useful without knowing the libraries inside out. |
|
| |
| |
|
| |
| |
| In certain types of applications (ie: paint apps) its important to know what the user is doing with the mouse, in regards to clicking and movement, to do this MFC uses the same principle as win32, handlers.
MFC however allows us to associate code with events a lot easier than win32 does. |

| | My computer used to be a perfect little box for me. I had a dual boot with Redhat 7.2 and Windows Me. Yeah, I know that it isn't real bright to have a dual boot with such a piss poor Windows environment, but I am stingy and I don't really feel like upgrading. |

| | Although this is a GDI representation of pathfinding, the pathfinding function itself is good ol' fashion c++, most n00b's should be able to figure out whats going on. |

| |
| First of all, make sure both of your network cards are installed correctly, and that you have the right sort of network cable.
Your going to have to make a floppy disk that has netsetup on it from the Windows XP box, which can be found by going into networking from the desktop, then clicking the set up home network icon on the left hand side of the screen. |

| | As the number of windows API’s grows, the need for standardisation, distributed computing and version control has paved the way for component based programming. |

|
| |
| |
|
| |
| |
| | In the second part of the resources tutorial im going to deal with the staple of most win32 apps, dialogs. As you probably know a dialog is a window with buttons, edit boxes and all other manner of controls. |

| |
| | There's currently a lot of buzz around WTL within the development community, mainly because no one knows what the bugger it is or what its supposed to do, the cynical amongst the dev community have labeled it MFC v2, that's probably not far off, considering what a kludge MFC is, it's not unreasonable to assume MS decided to have another go at it. |
