| Dark Echo, I agree. I generally split sections up based on what operation I am performing.. Like, for instance.. If I'm opening a database, and then I'm grabbing a recordset out of one of the tables, I'll separate those two sections by an empty line. This, however, is not as big of an issue for me a... |

Some modifications (i.e. IOCP) require an NT-based Windows OS, but it's still Windows just the same... My thought is this: When you go out to see how much a dedicated windows serve... |

If you are not bothering to compress, then you shouldn't decompress either. 
Take out the BMUtil.DecompressByteData lines that don't apply, and then try it. |

I believe that is what the problem is.. You're trying to create a surface with no height/width..
Check to make sure that the password you are using to decrypt your graphics files is correct. |

| The first post is up to date, and I added Spodi's idea to the post to show users how they can use this in a similar fashion to the current GetTickCount() API. Please note, doing it this way will slow down the process (by microseconds). |
