  Hey I have 2 questions, that I'm hoping you can help me with. 1. Is it posible to determine if a specific position is land or water 2.

• Michael G. Emmons Error in Microsoft Sample Code For RDA

  Hi, I think that there may be an error in some sample code that is on MS website and around the Internet with respect to RSA. Here is the code try { if (File.Exists("\\My Documents\\RdaDb.sdf")) File.Delete("\\My Documents\\RdaDb.sdf"); Where RdaDb is the name of the SQL Server mobile database. This will work fine the first time the database is pulled down, but the second and third.... times, the file cannot be deleted as it is in use by SQL Server Mobile. Any ideas That's it Sounds like a bug in RDA to me. I will report that to appropriate person. Meanwhile it appears the only way out of it is to close the application. Just a hunch: try P/Invokin ...Show All

• Pieter Versteijnen Displaying images using IImage - SRC rectangle ?

  Like many people who have been using the imgdecmp method to load jpg and gif images in previous OS versions, I'm now migrating to use IImage. I have my code working calling CreateImageFromFile() and then Draw() using NULL as the source parameter. I then get the entire image displayed in the destination rectangle that I specify. What I havent been able to do is to specify a source rectangle so that I can display only part of the image. Basically I want to be able to pass in : srcX srcY srcWX srcWY dstX dstY dstWX dstWY The API description of Draw() says that the source rectangle is expressed in 0.01mm units. So I have tried to do: pImage->GetImageInfo(&imgInfo); SetRect(&src, (int)(srcX / imgInfo.Xdpi * 254.0), (int) ...Show All

• anothernewVBguy change the vmid and mac address in a state-save file

  Hi All i assumed a state-save file has a vmid and mac inside, right then if load a state-save file on another machine, there will be some problems. so can i change the vmid and mac address of a state-save file or is there some other way to fix that Thanks in advance Terry Sorry, but there is no way to modify the MAC address or VMID in a savestate file. You can launch the emulator with a unique VMID value via the "/vmid" switch, which will guarantee that no other emulator instance will collide on that value. For networking, it's best to uncheck the NE2000 option before doing a savestate. Barry Thanks! yes, the best way is to making a save-state w ...Show All

• EthelMary040 UPDATE MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO 8

  WHERE AND HOW DO YOU GET A MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO 8 UPDATE Sounds like you do have corrupted installations. There was a special tool to remove beta, if you did not used it your installation might be corrupted: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/support/uninstall/default.aspx Here's what I would suggest: 1. Remove VS 2005. 2. Follow VS 2005 beta removal procedure above. 3. Install VS 2005 again. My 2 cents: Do a complete uninstall of VS2005 and reinstall it again. That might help ;-) i followed the procedure from msdn and i thought i got all the files this time!!!  i was missing sql server 2005 edition and MSXML 6,0 PARSER. i thought this would work.... i get the ...Show All

• hunb WM5 and recurring hebrew lunar calendar appointments

  I am experimenting with appointments which recur based on the hebrew lunar calendar. I entered them using Outlook 2003. When I first synced them over to my Windows Mobile 5 device, I thought they simply didn't sync. I've since noticed that they were copied over but are appearing on the wrong dates. It looks like WM5 is picking up the day of the month from the hebrew calendar and mapping the hebrew month onto the gregorian calendar. So the appointments are appearing in a predictable, but useless, manner. I'm running WM5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14928.2.2.0). Any chance this has been addressed in a later build If not, is there someplace else I should report this Thanks. This forum is smart ...Show All
