What Will Come When Windows Get Closed?

The history of Microsoft Windows counts more than 20 years. Every new version of this operating system provides us with new features, new level of security, nicer interface. We currently have Windows XP which is extremely popular (maybe the most popular OS ever). We are looking forward to the mighty, stylish, and shining Vista. The enigmatic successor to Vista, code-named Blackcomb, was recently renamed to Vienna…

It is obvious that Windows is flourishing. It is also obvious that the recession is inevitable. So what will … Continue Reading

Why Find and Replace Could be so Complex in Aspose.Words

The other day a customer asked how he can replace a piece of text in a Word document with a hyperlink To answer this seemingly simple question, Vladimir quickly created an example. I think the example is very smart, many thanks to Vladimir. You can see the code here http://www.aspose.com/Community/Forums/41863/ShowPost.aspx

But the example at the same time is very complex. I cringe that our Aspose.Words object model requires to write such tricky code to do a simple operation such as this find and … Continue Reading

Bad Looking Metafiles

.NET Framework is surely very powerful but some things are just weird. Goodness knows why Microsoft decided to implement rendering metafiles (such as WMFs and EMFs) and converting them to bitmaps using no smoothing thus eliminating all benefits of vector graphics. They could at least provide some option to choose whether or not to use anti-aliasing but they didn’t do that. Applications including MS Word do render metafiles properly but you will get ugly output trying to render them using System.Drawing.Graphics, especially if your metafile … Continue Reading

    A great RSS Feed Reader…

    Recently I found out that I was missing out on one of the newest and best sources of information on the web… Blogs.  Not really Blogs as much as RSS feeds.  There were a few different Blogs that I would visit from time to time (and some daily, like Aspose : ) … however, that was about the extent of my Blog experience.  I’d seen the catchy little, orange RSS icons (and subscribe links)… even clicked on a few and… Continue Reading

    Childish Exception

    When working on Aspose.Word.Viewer (under .NET 1.1), I suddenly got a System.ArgumentException. The “bad” line looked harmlessly:

    Brush brush = pen.Brush;

    The error message was: You may not change this Pen because it does not belong to you. The wording of the message was strange. What did I have to do to own that Pen and how could I change that Pen by reading its property?

    Since the MSDN library knew nothing about exceptions that might be thrown when accessing Pen.Brush, I searched the Internet. The … Continue Reading
