Thanks mecheil.edwar,
I think you will be a much better programmer for having built your application closer to the machine just as you have done. I am the first to admit that my programming experience is quite high level and I don't think I could learn all the tricks with allocating and releasing memory, managing pointers etc. without have spent A LOT of time in the books. Next time I need some help with writing a wrapper for C/C++ code I know who to speak to :).
C# + WPF looks like an interesting subject area to explore when I next get a few days of spare time. I am at the point in my programming learning where I can develop whatever I need to, but I develop something that is 'messy' and hard to maintain. I want to start learning more about design patterns and how to implement them correctly. Learn how to implement abstraction etc. so the final product is much more scalable instead of just solving a very specific problem at the time I first write it.
Regards elbarto
