I've had DirectX 8 installed for only a few hours so I've just made my first program to test it out. This would be useful for beginners. It spins around a pyrimid shape which glows different colors. Very simple and commented on almost every line. Probably requires some sort of hardware acceleration. After hours and hours of downloading 150MB through my 56KB/sec phone line, DX8 seems worth the wait. You'll be suprised at how easy it is to program! Although where is the support for 2D? I'd be interested in any 2D DX8 progs. Please comment if this is useful to you, or if you have any problems with it.

This will allow you to view a single image at a time or you can select a directory that contain images, and view a slide show of those image. You can set the duration between images, and whether or not to loop the show. The code is not commented, I may go through an comment it, if the need arises. I am looking to improve this by adding transitions without using external dll's (I have the LeadTools Dlls, but I am trying to avoid using them). Any Help? Please let me know. Also, I would like to add some sound, if anybody knows how to access the browse soudn dialog (like in the control panels sounds area), please let me know.

This is by far the best weather program out there.. Sounds conceited I know. Take a look at the features and you will see what I mean. This isn't one of those enter a zip code and get a few minor details about your weather, type programs - this gives you everything. This gives you a 10 day forecast, graphics to indicate conditions, current conditions, international city weather, US City weather, local US detailed forecast scroller, and weather radar maps for almost all regions of the world. I spent a long time on this. Apparently this program was good enough to spark a few comments from Weather.com telling me that they didn't like me distributing this as it could potentially dramatically decrease the ammount of traffic that passes through their site. It takes on average 10 seconds to retrieve weather information through my program and can take up to 5 minutes just to find what you want on their site. This cuts out the middle man and gives you what you want. Just make sure you're connected to the internet and you're all set. Best of all it's FREE.

I noticed a lack of Novell application code on this site, so I created this example from code found on the Novell developer site. It retrieves the Novell user ID and tree name using API calls. Requires, of course, Novell, the Novell Libraries for Visual Basic found at http://developer.novell.com/ndk/vblib.htm and the latest Novell Client.

Display the contents of any file in Hex/Ascii format. Code is well-documented and demonstrates uses of the Status Bar, Progress Bar & Rich Text Box controls. Updated program on 12/13/2000: Added a C Dll that greatly increased format speed of input file. Check HexView.cpp for a tip on how to debug a dll called from Visual Basic. I included Visual Basic statements in the HexView.cpp file so it serves as a tutorial for someone interested in writing a C Dll.

This handy little utility will generate valid credit card numbers for Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. Like other programs here it uses the LUHN formula for verification. The random generator uses 11 banks for Visa, 4 for american express, 1 for mastercard and 1 for discover. (More can be added. check comments in Validate.frm) This program was not written to defraud but for education purposes only, to show how simple the LUHN formula is. PLEASE USE IT AS IT IS INTENDED -- EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. After the random number has been selected it then verifies it, and will continue to evaluate random numbers until it has selected a valid number.(Takes about 1 to 2 seconds.) The validate option allows you to input a number and verify it as either Valid or Invalid. Don't forget to rate this program. --Enjoy
