In a forthcoming article I will be describing a DirectSound based Wave Player-Recorder, with some unusual features.

The GUI will include a simple volume control for playback. Since I wanted that control to be synchronized with the system Volume Control utility, I needed to use WinMM.DLL functions and I thought this interim article outlining how those functions are used, and showing in particular how such a control can be synchronized with the system Volume Control, might be of general interest.

I work with performance-critical software that often requires some form of cache to function efficiently. However, there is also often a need to constrain memory usage, so I set out to create a high-performance cache with a maximum size.

This article presents an overview of the dependency injection pattern, the advantages of using dependency injection in your designs, the different types of dependency injection, and the pros and cons of each of these types, with code examples where appropriate.
