C++ win-forms feed reader application

I have started to develop a win-forms based Visual C++ web feed reader application. The application basically extends the idea of the web based Ajax application I created for my Masters dissertation. I enjoyed developing the web application so much that I thought it would be interesting to develop one in the win-forms environment.

Connecting a C++ application to a SQL database

Connecting to a SQL server database with either C# or VB is a straightforward process. However, the support for C++ is relatively very poor. In this post I will provide a walk-through to outline the steps necessary to interact with a SQL database using C++.

Requesting a file using C#, ASP.net and the Microsoft Ajax Toolkit

In this post I will describe how to request a small text file from the server and display its content inside a ASPX page, using server side logic along with the Microsoft Ajax toolkit to provide a more interactive experience for the user. Please see my earlier post on the toolkit for more information.

From web to desktop: DAY 1

I am currently working on developing a desktop based RSS reader application. Instead of a web application environment (see the post below) I am planning on using the win-form environment. Again the primary language will be C#. If all goes to plan I’ll try to post some screen shots and so you too can keep track of my progress. Screen shots from day 1 can be seen after the jump.
