For the rest, yes I can send to you, but its completly new code, far away from the first one. I also used to google to get some ideas how to make thinks works for .Net. If you interest send me PM.

Hi again,

I have read the first post but I didnt understand if you had ended up on C# or .Net.

Is it so that you have changed like this: VB6->.Net-<C# and WPF? If so what was the reason for your change from .Net to C# with WPF? Isn't WPF a lot harder to run for a "older" computer?

Is your source for .Net or C#?

Cheers
Borte

Hi Borte,

I have changed to C# with WPF stright away from VB6. There was not VB.Net between
I was thinking about, but I found examples used C# and XAML so I stick on that.
Why I really changed? Cause I wanted to make the UI more animated 3D, as well more nice.
For that WPF more heavy for an older computer... I never tired, could be...
But as everything has some advantage (e.g nice UI), also has disadvantage...

WPF is a lot better choice than traditional WinForms, as it uses relative dimensions and such (not resolution dependant when done right). Also, I'd say WPF UI runs a lot smoother than WinForm UI when talking about complex visual effects.

Planning to switch to WPF myself too.

Hi Pierrotm,

No there is no any copyright and stuff...
Limited means there are some functions which are not fully developed, implemented yet, like phone, maps, clock, etc. That's why I called limited functions...
Otherwise of course no any limit, but only the stars on the sky!
