Hi Jaime,
Believe it or not, but I have been hearing convincing speeches about short-coming death of COM since 1998. As of today, Vista is still by 99% sitting on what's built on top of the COM layer 
I took my chances with publishing here, and the results you can see for yourself:
First Article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/COM/prosyslib2.aspx
Second Article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/COM/prosyslib3.aspx
Second article as of this moment is the Editor's Choice on CodeProject, sitting on the main page, i'm getting some very good feedback on this.
I would say that i will be the first one to dance when COM really dies, but then ops, i might be just too old for dancing when this happens
Regards,
Vitaly

The .net framework provides a queue(of T) which is fine for single-threaded programs, but is not thread-safe. There's a synchronized version, but since it uses locking it runs the risk of priority inversion and other such problems.
I've implemented a fairly simple queueing implementation in VB.net with the following properties:
-1- There are no locks or waits, except that the calling program may elect to wait for data if the queue is empty.
-2- There are a few spinlock loops, but there is no possibility of livelock since each loop will only spin if another thread successfully performed useful work while the loop was executing.
-3- Conceptually, the base queue object does not hold data, but is a place to attach reader objects. Data which is written to a queue will be queued in all reader objects.
As an example situation where this class could be used, think of a multi-line chat BBS. There's a central message queue for all broadcast messages; when a new user logs in, a queue reader is created for that user, attached to the central queue. Whenever a message needs to be broadcast (either a user typed something, or the system wants to report something) it is placed in the queue, where it can be read by all attached readers. Data can be added and removed by any number of different threads without need for synchronization.
I've never written an article for CP before (and haven't done a whole lot with VB), but I think the class seems like it should be useful; I would appreciate feedback and advice (e.g. should I allow the user to receive a WaitHandle from a queue reader, so as to allow the use of WaitAny? If so, can I prevent the user from doing anything with it other than wait?) Would anyone be interested if I were to write up such a thing?

If you think the class is useful, chances are someone else will too. If nothing else, writing the article will be good experience.

Any Sharepoint experts out there who can give some examples of using this WebControl? Googling this topic (and SPMenuField) seems to almost exclusively point back to this[^] - which is fine - except that I'd like a deeper understanding of what is happening 'under the hood'. MSDN docs are virtually non-existent...
An article would be lovely!

It is hard to read some useful here because there are lots of off-topic posts.
Could you delete all them to make this forum more readable?
Best regards,
Jaime.

Including this one.

Seriously, while I agree that there are a lot of off-topic posts I think a better way to manage them is needed instead of deleting them.

Of course you have to delete this too 
A move-to-other-forum option would be a better feature, I have seen this feature in some other forums like Experts-Exchange. Moderators use to move the question because some members don't post to the proper area.
Best regards,
Jaime.

Yep, and now your post and my response.

I actually suggested [^] that, along with a few other features, right after my original response.

There is a warning in some Forum Pages: "DO NOT POST PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS HERE", but not in this one.
DISCLAIMER: You should delete this post after reading because it is off-topic

Yes, but despite the warning, it still happens.

True, but it would have been better to say that this message will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

Why not delete the previous off-topic articles right now? I guess the authors don't matter.

But my life would be an empty shell if I didn't get to ask people to stop posting in the wrong forums. That's all that there is left in the hollow abyss that is my life.

I guess you can have a more sophisticated life-style by moving off-topic posts to the proper forum.

I'm what you may call a newbie,
I just want to know if it is possible to make a WYSIWYG RTF Control in VB.
my but is to make a real WordProcessor application,
I deed start it but it is not WYSIWYG, it will be lovely to make a Word like program in VB
Any ideas howTo ???

1. Don't post a programming question in this forum.
2. Read the title of the forum and reflect on why you shouldn't have asked it here.
3. Choose a development task that isn't leap years ahead of your skill level.
4. Start small, and don't run before you can walk.

I guess so. You posted in the wrong forum. VB forum would be better. Writing a word processor application is a pretty tall order for a newbie. I suggest learning little bits before jumping into something big like a word processor.

The rle compressed data is 1, 4, 3, 9, 5, 3, 2, 7, 0. The program currently just prints all these values except the terminating zero. When properly decompressed, the output should be:
4 9 9 9 3 3 3 3 3 7 7
yet i cannot get it to do so.....
this is my code......I managed to get it to find the number of times yet not produce them as i need which is this
4 9 9 9 3 3 3 3 3 7 7
; rle_soln.asm
; sample program to demonstrate decompressing RLE
include 'emu8086.inc'
org 100h ; set location counter to 100h
jmp CodeStart
DataStart:
; this is the run length encoded data
; notice that it is a list of words (bytes)
; with a zero on the end
rleData dw 1, 4, 3, 9, 5, 3, 2, 7, 0
space db ' ', 0
CodeStart:
; put the address of the first rle value in bx
mov bx, offset rleData
; start a loop that will visit each value in rle data
LoopStart:
; compare value in list with zer0
cmp [bx], 0
; if value was zero, must be end of list so quit
je EndLabel
; move value in list to ax
mov ax, [bx]
; print it
call print_num
; print a space
mov si, offset space
call print_string
; add 2 bytes to the address in bx to move to the
; next value in the list
add bx, 2
; continue the loop until a zero is found
jmp LoopStart
EndLabel:
ret
DEFINE_PRINT_STRING
DEFINE_SCAN_NUM
DEFINE_PRINT_NUM
DEFINE_PRINT_NUM_UNS
Please Email me with an edit to this to show me where my alteration nees to be...

This is my code, i cannot seem to get it to run two line running from the same point can someone edit this with notation as to where i needed to make my changes.
Please Email me with a solution please....
