...I know nothing about .NET, but I must say I find it a little surprising that this is a problem. Java has to do this stuff cross platform. One would think that .NET could do a better job on just Windows.

Ja,

I agree. Thing is, I am sure the built in controls are not optized for frequently changing data. But geez, if you (Microsoft) are going to provide something, do it right from the beginning!

*LoL*, remove the dot after ".net", the correct address is www.trademagic.net


A weakness of the board/browsersoftware: it should ignore the syntactically correct point after a webaddress.


Hope this helps

Dierk,

Gulp, the installation is in German! :eek:

IMHO, you need to add English as a language option.

what about straight up DDE links, they've always looked crisp to me,

...but maybe the refresh rate on my visual cortex is lagging

DDE offers no guaranteed transmission of all data. At times Excel will be busy and you will miss quotes frequently. A simple example - let Excel autoupdate a graph or do some auto-saving and you include timestamps for received DDE data (via onData event for the worksheet, I guess) and you'll see.

The ActiveX control is much better, but not flawless. See MS MSDN-resources for lots of information of .NET and DDE differences, and that new interface they introduced for real-time data (forgot it's name - but here's a starting point : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/actxvnetcontrols.asp ).
