Oh yeah, a great read. Also, use code documentation comments and code documentation generators!

C++ Reference

Java2s – Simply amazing site! And it’s not just for Java. In fact, I’ve never went there for Java.

C++ FAQ Lite by Marshall Cline of Parashift.com. (Highlighted: Should I learn C before I learn OO/C++?)

C# Online.NET – Although missing several sections it is beyond useful.

There might be more but those are what I was thinking of at the moment.

Here are some examples of function declaration also known as “prototype” (or vice-versa) and function definition also known as “body” (or vice-versa).

function int functionThatReturnsAnInt(int p1, int p2); // declaration/prototype

function int functionThatReturnsAnInt(int p1, int p2) // declaration
{
  return p1 + p2; // definition/body
}

This may even explain it better.

Flash Debug Class – dPanel

Debugging with MonsterDebugger (video)

I wasn’t aware of this one until I visited Jon Skeet’s site again.  Very readable assuming you have a bit of knowledge of “language speak.”

Speak of Jon, here’s his FAQ from the mplc (microsoft.public.languages.csharp) newsgroup.

C# Language Specification – I feel like I’ve posted this at least 3 times. My wires get crossed very easily sometimes.

XML Documentation Comments

I just found this a bit funny is all.

The simple tutorials are REALLY simple, as in too simple.

The intermediate are like simple^3.

Then advanced makes leaps so high you literally have to be versed in TONS of the language specification.

Anyway, low-bandwidth version rocks!

Also, C# Programming Guide.

Coding Recipes (dot com) has lovely, high quality code. Not a lot of it, but quality…

Snipplr is a code snippet repository which comes close to being a “code depot” like Programmer’s Heaven but with one exception. It normally has very good code.

Stack Overflow. ‘Nuff said.

I think I found another one: http://www.koders.com/

Specifically I took a look at : http://www.koders.com/csharp/fid296BE03DD7B642DA09267FD600BA6A5667D14F44.aspx?s=button

I was actually in search of some lean socket creation code and ran across this.

Creating a Bluetooth Service — really good looking (and simple) code in C++.

Do I need to write a custom control or what?

Still don’t understand why I cannot use CheckedListBox in Visual Studio when deploying to a Smart Device.

I can understand why Button.PerformClick isn’t available on Windows Mobile because it says so.  However, a CheckedListBox says it should be available to the Compact Framework.

In the meantime I’ve had time to make my first ever post at DaniWeb after being a member for over 6 years and truth be told it was a rather anticlimactic experience.  It’s currently been 3 days with no response and it’s actually #3 (and #4) on a Google search for “checkedlistbox unavailable.”

That’s sad in case you were wondering.

Anyway, in the meantime I tried resetting the toolbox and even went in search of these files which would have been here in Vista:

%appdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\

…but I didn’t find them.

In my search to find why I cannot insert a CheckedListBox (MSDN link) into my Compact Framework-based application I ran across some good looking code.

A Checked Listbox Collection Editor

How To Create WPF Multiple Column CheckedListBox Using XAML

Of course, neither of these links explain to me why a Smart Device solution cannot contain this control.  I’ve tried deploying different SDKs as well as different versions of the .NET Compact Framework to no avail.
