C++/CLI and Pointers

Just had an interesting support issue and I ended up learning some new syntax in C++/CLI, so I thought I'd share it with you. This has to do with passing values by reference and how they map within LabVIEW.

So, here is the question - you want to create a method in .NET that passes an integer by reference, and have that map correctly within LabVIEW.

Windows Home Server

First let me apologize for not posting much in the way of LabVIEW stuff recently. I'm pretty heads down at the moment in work, so unless I receive a specific request, I'll be postponing any demos/how-it-works/etc. until later.

However, with the CES going full swing, we finally got the official word on the new Microsoft Windows Home Server, and I'm pretty excited. We still aren't in the perfect solution for multiple home PCs, especially with respect to upgrading older units with new ones, but this release starts to address the fact that home networks are truly becoming networks, and we need better solutions.
