Recently I ported a payment gateway's COM server to a native .NET version, meaning that it can be deployed on regular .NET hosts without requiring it to be regsvr'd etc.
Anyway, I will definitely write it up shortly -- how the requests are generated etc, how it communicates and then parses the results.
I then thought it would be cool to develop a ServicedComponent derived class to include transactional support -- as a small sample of how it could be used for an eCommerce site using ASP.NET.
It wouldn't include any of the shopping cart/department type code, just the order processing part.
I was wondering whether people would be interested in such an article, and whether there was anything they'd like to see included.

I'd really love a series about learning MFC. The whole site is mainly about it and I found no tutors teaching MFC basics (I know I can draw a dialog, double click something and write the proper question, but what about DDE (I've read something somewhen but maybe it's obsolete now) and what is what in the code generated? I know that CListView.AddItem stand for ListView_AddItem macro, but that's not enough... there are also newbies around. Help us!

Should you not have any joy here, check out MSDN's tutorials. Okay, their not great, but they do give you enough to get started.

Like there weren't any tutorials (in MSDN) on shell and all the other stuff here . Okay, but it's your choice and youngsters choose community that behaves most well to them (and I don't say CP doesn't, just that "go and see MDSN" is something I couldn't surely have figured out myself)...

Stick with CP mate, it's the best coders site there is. I was merly trying to be helpful whilst you wait and see if MFC tutorials appear, and you get your experience level up.

You ought to purchase "Programming Windows With MFC" by Jeff Prosise (Microsoft Press) best money I ever spent.

Please ask a more detailed question. What exactly would you like to know? Then perhaps several people will divide the work between themselves and write several tutorials. Be specific

I want to know what is the difference between coding a MFC dialog app and a MFC MDI or something. I want to know what exactly the gray code means so I will never get lost. I want to know the basic and, if there is some, advanced architecture...
Thanks

I'm with kmaz. "Programming Windows with MFC" by Jeff Prosise has been very helpful for me. I've just started out with the MFC stuff myself and have learned everything so far from that book, CodeProject and www.codeguru.com. It may take some digging and playing around, but the answer always within those resources somewhere. Trolling the messageboard is quite useful as well, although I wish the search capabilities were a little better.
Good Luck!
PS. MSDN good

I think you first need to obtain basic Windows programming knowledge. MFC is a relatively think wrapper around Windows API. Check the books from Petzold and Prosise, and then you'll have primary understanding of MFC. Don't expect to obtain solid knowledge only from free Web-based articles. Invest in a few good books, and it will pay off.

If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.

I started with the Scribble tutorial from MSDN. Then with some Teach yourself in XXX days/hours. Then I discovered CP and nothing else was needed.

i'd like to see a tutorial on enumerating processes with toolhelp & how to gain access to their address space.
like a debugger...

I'm writing a simple article on the subject. It'll be up in a few days.
It'll only cover reading and writing to their private memory though.
Kind regards

I would like to automate the page setup parameters in Windows NT without user interaction.
Can you change the settings to say: Landscape and using Legal Paper Size without invoking the Page Setup, for an NT Networked printer.
I know I can do this with an application but I don't know how to with MSHTML or the IE Webbrowser Control.
\\server\\printer
Please, one of you "Big Brains" figure this one out.
Tks in advance.

Unless you are creating your own application I highly doubt you will be able to programmatically change these settings. Sorry

I would like to see someone attempt a series of articles perhaps on building a Hotmail-like ActiveX control. Something that will work on various platforms and browsers. With rich text controls and even if they are feeling squirrely enough a simple spell check. (I know, spell check on a web app. but times are a changing).

An IE specific RTF control is actually built right into the browser and all you need to do is plug it on the HTML and voila!
Complete with bold, italics, hyperlinking, ...

I realize that and have used it in production code for a CMS before, but it doesn't really help those who do not use IE on a PC. This has caused some problems. I've begun to build it myself but it's all new to me and I'm doing it in my spare time, which there is very little of . I just know this is old hat for some out there.

ActiveX on different platforms? You kidding lol. It is Windows-only technology. Maybe someday Linux (and others) will have COM built in too, but not now
