• dominick.baier How to use PlaySound API to play sound from a Resource?

  Hi. I'm developing a Smartphone app using VB.Net 2005 and the Compact Framework v2. I want to play a sound that is in a resource of my EXE, using the PlaySound API. Declare Function PlaySound Lib "coredll.dll" ( ByVal pszSound As String , ByVal hMod As IntPtr, ByVal fdwSound As Integer ) As Integer To do so, according to the PlaySound documentation, the second parameter of the API - hMod - needs to be the "Handle to the executable file that contains the resource to be loaded."

• Luis Esteban Valencia Muñoz Mega Cluster logic

  Dr Neil first mentioned this on the via virtual earth site recently and now I need to use them. Just though I would put my ideas out here and see what you all think and can add. To be clear this is a concept and I’m looking for ideas / help before I build it. Basically the issue is you have X number of points to put on the map where X is very large. 1. If you go and add them all it is going to slow down to a crawl. 2. If you have points at a close proximity at certain zoom levels they are going to sit on top of each other and be unhoverable. The solution is to have a mega cluster that provides information about the points it represents. Firstly we need to look at how we calculate what po ...Show All

• zu35926 genasm error message when adding DesignTimeAttributes.xmta to my project

• donkaiser Problem trying to consume a web service behind a web service proxy

  I am hitting a rather critical bug regarding consuming a web service on a mobile device that is sitting behind a web service proxy (Jaxview). My device is able to see the wsdl of the service (on IE) and it is able to send a request to the service, but on the response I get the error below. The response is processed just fine if I bypass the proxy but that is not an option in my environment. I also have been capturing the tcp traffic to confirm that the proxy is indeed sending back valid xml responses to my request and it is. I am really at a loss as to why I am getting this error.

• emepvsd Form closing event not fired

  Hi, I have an application with only one form. If the user wants to close this form I want to ask him, if he would like to save his work. I'm trying to do this in the form's closing event. But this event is not fired. Has anyone any ide ralph Overriding OnClosing will not change anything. The default implementation fires Closing event. If you are not getting the event, OnCLosing is not called. Application.Exit does not fire OnClosing by default. If you want to make sure the user gets asked, do not use Application.Exit Is there some event fired when this "x" button is clicked Your form will likely get a Deactivated event. Keep in mind however that there are other situations where that event will be raised ...Show All

• GoDaddy Pushpins in V4

  Pushpin script working in version 3.x is no longer working in V4 when in 3d mode (works fine in 2d)...quite a few of the parameters in the failing pushin are null and the javascript error is complaining about a problem with 'length' A little debugging revealed an interesting bug--the title field can't be "null", but can be an empty string. In other words, this works: map.AddPushpin(new VEPushpin('LayPP:13',new VELatLong(30.557437,-84.221834),' ','13',null,null,null,null)); I'll let the team know. Caleb-- I don't have much more to add...here's an example of script causing the problem...again, this works fine in 2D V3, V4 and the pushpin does display in 3D, but as soon as I mo ...Show All

  I have basically built a piece into my program that allows me to download a cab file update however it cant really execute the cab file while the actual program is running so does anybody have an idea as to how I could shutdown my application and then kick off the cab file You can: - Shut it down from CAB setup DLL (C++ only). - Use separate "updater" application which is not in the CAB. - Launch CAB installer and terminate your application right away (might be unreliable due to timing issues). - Use CeRunAppAtTime() to schedule CAB installer to run soon and terminate your application before that happen. ...Show All
