If there was something called Visual Doom++, there would have probably been a class in it called CArchVile.  The reason I am mentioning this is that yesterday, we had four different tests at college (I am not kidding), including a practicals test in Visual Basic and Visual C++.  While I was reading the book for VC++ the moment I saw void CData::Serialize(CArchive& ar) I immediately thought of the Archvile from Doom!

Anyway the programs I had to do were something like this.  In Visual Basic I had to make an ActiveX EXE with some private and public variables and procedures and demonstrate it using a normal EXE.  This was quite easy.  For the Visual C++ part, the statement was very short - create a new menu and toolbar and attach it to your application - which was easier said than done, because I'd never done that before!  Anyway I experimented a little there (an adventure in the IDE) and I was able to do it, thanks to the list of functions that pops up immediately when you type objectname-> (heh).

I was at college until 8 PM that day because we had the last session of our IEEE Students Chapter.  It was fun and informative - we had two presentations and a quiz, and after that all of us had a party (hosted by Tarang, who had won a prize in the Paper Presentation Contest a while back, and Kiran, because it was his birthday).  Got home at around 10:30 PM.
