The zlib compression library enables developers to integrate lossless compression into their application suites with ease. The benefits are saved time, space, and therefore money.
Learn about a classical arithmetic compression implementation (CACM) optimization.
Redundancy is very high in any text material. Simple ordering can lead to compression ratios up to 20:1 in directory listings.
Do Gzip compression and decompression in memory as well as allocate and deallocate memory automatically. (The demo project was updated.)
Learn about fundamental data compression algorithms including RLE and Grayscale matrix compression.
Describes an optimization point found in the most commonly used adaptive Witten-Neal-Cleary implementation
The Transactional File System (TxF), which allows access to an NTFS file system to be conducted in a transacted manner through extensions to the Windows SDK API. MFC 10, has been extended to support TxF and related technologies. This support allows existing MFC applications to be easily extended to support kernel transactions.
The original release of the .NET Framework included collections as .NET was introduced to the Microsoft programming world. The .NET Framework 2.0 introduced generics to complement the System.Collections namespace and provide a more efficient and well performing option. Read on to learn more...
The final installment of our Slot Game series shows you how to build in a way to win or lose. We will also add some effects for when a win takes place.
WCF implementations normally take two different approaches; a Document style or an API style. Document style implementations are more flexible and often easier to extend and version. Also, Document style or rather, Message Contract service implementations, work well between systems with a shared message assembly. Jeffrey Juday guides you through architecting a WCF Message Contract implementation.
