• Julian Ladbury Speech sdk 1.1 error

  Hi, I insalled speech sdk 1.1 but am using .net 2005. th problem is speech sdk is asking for .net2003.. how to use that in visual studio 2005.. its showing error when am asking to install .net speech tools..

But, it is a rapidly developing technology, typical for something that just doesn't work out of the box (Dragon Speaking, arrrrrhggggh). Anyhoo, it's primary interface is COM, you'd need to add a COM reference to your project to use it. Read about the COM interfaces available to you here ... ...Show All

• Raymundo Chapa94595 Need to do Form Based Authentication from VB.NET

  I've searched a LOT here and elsewhere and can find nothing to help me. I need to logon to a MS Exchange server that uses Form-Based Authentication (with SSL of course). I know it can be done as there is a commercial product (WebDAV .Net for Exchange) that can do it.   I've tried POSTing via HttpWebRequest, but when I get to the:      MyWebResp = LogonWebReq .GetResponse() I get a WebException. Last one is:      "Cannot handle redirect from HTTP/HTTPS protocols to other dissimilar ones." However, that's just the latest roadblock. I've done forms posting before (from other languages), understand headers, URLEncoding, and such, but I just can't make this work. Has anyone out th ...Show All

• RichLeyshon Generic Methods and List<T>

  How do I create a method which returns a generic List based on the type I provide as a parameter E.g. For the following method, how do I add objects of the parameter's type to the List public static List<T> GetList<T>(T t) { List<T> retval = null; switch (t.GetType().ToString()) { case "Employee": retval.Add(new Employee(1)); //Throws casting error break; } return retval; } Thanks alot. Seems so obvious now . add a constraint that enforces T to be a class and cast the new object to T. public static List <T> GetList<T>(T t) where T : class { List <T> retval = null ; switch (t.GetType().ToString() ...Show All

• jls Acessing an Excel Sheet from a .Net web application

  I have a requirement where i need to import Excel data into a web application. The catch is I don't know in what format the data is i.e. either the columns can represent fields or the row represents fields. In case the column represents fields I can access the data. However in case the rows represents fields I am unable to do so. Any idea how I can handle a situaltion like this I believe you need to query data as is (where fields are columns) and then implement pivot functionality in a client's application that transforms DataTable into new one. When you look at the data in Excel, what is the difference between the two formats The requirement of the application is not an excel which has a f ...Show All

• SimonS_ VB.NET: Order XML Files

  Hi there, I'm working a bit with XML files (Since .INI files got old :O) and I got a small question. I'm writing a Media Player which holds playlists, these playlists are saved in XML-files (so the XML file holds where the program can find a specific file). I would like to know whats the best way to move around elements and attributes. Say i have a playlist like: <playlist> <file location=C:\test.mp3 name=test /> <file location=C:\test2.mp3 name=test2 /> <file location=C:\test3.mp3 name=test3 /> </playlist> Now, I want to reorder it a bit, so I place "test3.mp3" on top of my playlist (in the program). The same has to be done by the program in the xml file, could someone explain me h ...Show All

• John Lieurance Is it possible to calculate a column value in a DataTable using managed code in .NET 2.0?

  Hi, I have a requirement to populate an asp.net 2.0 GridView control with data, with some columns directly retrieved from a SQL Server 2005 stored procedure and others calculated from those columns using .NET method calls. I thought I could achieve this by using an ObjectDataSource calling a GetData method in a DataSet created using the DataSet Designer, then hooking into an event where I could calculate the values for the required extra columns of data, so that these would appear in the GridView. However, I can't find an appropriate event to hook into to do this. Does anyone know how to achieve the effect I require Setting DataColumn.Expression looks like it ought to do this, but that does not allow anything except SQL express ...Show All

• ASL Decimal - trig and power support for System.Decimal?

  I want to ask when support for System.Decimal might be expanded Specifically, it'd be nice if the power function and trig functions of System.Math would natively support System.Decimal (a big change from not at all). This has been done in some commercial and non-commercial libraries, so it is do-able. I really need the extra Accuracy and Precision afforded, but cannot sacrifice the power and trig functions. IEEE 754 revision one link to check out would be http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/ Anyhoo, I did some more searching on VS2005 Product Feedback. The sequel to VS2005 (Orcas) will not have a higher precision floating point type, ...Show All

• Prabagarane <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="whatever.xsl" ?>

  Hi all, In my XML file, I have the following line for transformation: < xml-stylesheet type="text/xslt" href="whatever.xsl" > Is there a way to replace the whatever.xsl with a variable name so that during runtime, I can assign a value to the variable so that I can use the WebBrowser to transform my XML document differently. For example, it would be nice if, instead of hard-code the whatever.xsl, I would like to use a variable, as shown below: < xml-stylesheet type="text/xslt" href=@varFileName > Thanks Not this way.
