Not straight text

Question

I'm develpoing a mapping appliction and have to place road names on the map. I'd like to draw the roadname down the middle of the road with the text following the contours of the road. Theres no problem with straight roads - I can just rotate the text; but how can I follow a contour that can change direction. Someone please tell me I'm not going to have to do it char by char!

Answer 1

C# and Java are general purpose programming languages with which you can write most types of applications.

However, C# has more features than Java and it can therefore be easier to write some types of application using the former.

Wikipedia has a useful comparison between the two:

Answer 2

1) Visual studio 6.0 good enough to learn c++ and visual basic.
2) To use c# you should install the advanced visual studio that came after visual studio 6.0 release
3) You are right. C# is the combination of Java & C++ [Borrowed good stuffs from both]. But c++ has its own advantages. Lot system side programmers like c++
4) You can have both visual studio 6.0 and later version in the same machine.

Note: To use c# install either one of the below
1) Visual Studio 2003
2) Visual Studio 2005
3) Visual Studio 2008
Or the Visual studio versions released later
