When creating applications in real world, we need to store simple data to disk. Of course we can use registry to store anything. And it may be faster then file I/O processing. But programs using the registry increases the size of the registry. So after six months later the registry size reaches 30 MB. (You […]

I was designing an ISAPI .dll for use on our website, and quickly discovered what little information is available regarding the use of cookies on an MFC server side ISAPI extension. For login purposes, the cookies were absolutely essential. Hopefully this code will save somebody the R&D I had to go through… First of all, […]

This article was contributed by Rajiv Ramachandran. Environment: VC6 SP2, NT4 SP5, CE 2.11 One of my applications needed some scanner support. I thought it might be a good idea to get into TWAIN and try it out. Well, here are the results. Firstly, this is NOT a complete implementation of the TWAIN specification. I […]
