I must be getting daft, but I can't seem to find how to read old-fashioned ini files with VB 6.0. All I can seem to find is about reading from and writing to the registry. Can someone push me in the right direction? Mind you, I am not a programmer, just a hobbyist trying to have some harmless fun with his computer, so please don't be to harsh when you point out the bleedin' obvious.
See the top answer on this thread. Nope, it's no different in VB! :-)
Use the GetPrivateProfile* functions. Some examples of how to do this with a Declare statement are here:

The only things I know are:
[switch] is optional
[switch1 | switch2] are both optional, but only one or the other can be used.
What about {switch}, or any of the others? I've tried looking online and I can only find PowerShell help syntax, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for.
To clear up any confusing, im not talking about a specific command in partiular, im just asking about how all command help pages are written.hope that makes sence
Microsoft Corporation describes the help syntax.

I'm currently working on a project in Ruby that requires me to be able to hotswap code whilst it's operating. However, the only method I know (because, to be honest, I am quite new to Ruby) is to do a full reboot, and that takes too long. Is this possible? Do I have to override my code? Include a console? Or something else?
I'd be glad if somebody could help me with my problem.
Best Regards
I know this probably isn't the right place to post, but, well, I'm all out of ideas. :( Do any of you know frameworks/information on how to create a nice-looking GUI for the Kinect? I'm planning on using C# and was thinking about using Kinesis.IO but the conversion and compatibility seems like a headache. Would the XNA Framework do it for me? I've googled this several times and can't seem to find any good ideas. Please let me know! Thanks!

Neoforce is compatible with the 360, I haven't used it on it, but it work great for my project on the PC.
I am trying to connect to a mongohq database from a Cocoa application, but I really don't know there to start. I googled for it but it does not seem to be something useful online.
Do you know if there is a simple way to do it?
Obviously no one will write the code for me. I would like just to be pointed to the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
If you look a bit further down the page you mentioned in your comment (http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Drivers), you'll see there is a community-supported Objective-C driver. http://github.com/timburks/NuMongoDB. It's for the Nu programming language but they modularized all their libraries so you should just be able to use it alone. In theory.
I've been coding alot of web-stuff all my life, rails lately. And i can always find a website to code, but i'm kind of bored with it. Been taking alot of courses of Java and C lately so i've become a bit interested in desktop application programming.
Problem: I can't for the life of me think of a thing to code for desktop. I just can't think of anything i can code that isn't already out there for download. So what do i do?
I need some project suggestions that i can set as a goal.
I would say you should roam through github or some other open source site and find an existing young or old project that you can contribute to. Maybe there is something that is barely off the ground, or maybe there is a mature project that could use some improvement.
I find to complete a project, it needs to be something I am passionate about. I feel you need to find your own project I'm afraid.
There is always the Netflix Prize though!
I would write a ray tracer.
Oops, sorry... you're looking for an original idea. :) Ray tracers are still cool, though, and easy to get started on. Maybe you'll get an idea for a game while you're working on it.
Visit shoooes.net for a UI toolkit that's easy and fun, and then the-shoebox.org to see the kinds of things people are doing with it.
If you could make a Ruby ANSI (and xbin, and idf, and adf...) Editor, I would love you. Because that means you would have written ANSI parsing routines that I can hope you release to the open source community.
... but that is a selfish answer. Oh, and a cross-platform editor would be nice as well (although TundraDraw somewhat takes care of that).
