• Yairt I Can't find system.speech dll. I have vista (final version) installed along with .net 3.0

  I found this link: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=184403&SiteID=1 However, I have Vista and I have also installed .net 3.0 (WPF, WCF, WWF) but I still cannot find the system.speech dll anywhere. I also have the speech SDK installed. Also, I am able to get the speech recognition working using the old COM speech library on XP, but when I try to use the same code on vista, the inbuilt speech recognition software kicks in and overrides my code, or somehow prevents it from working.

• regthesk8r Exposing dynamic properties of a com object using Reflection

  Hi All, Could any one suggest how expose the dynamic properties which are exposed by the com object at runtime using the Reflection. As per my knowledge the com object will show the dynamic proeprties using the IDispatch and itypeinfo. If any one have ideas to expose the dynamic properties using the reflection please suggest me. Thanks. Do you mean late-bound properties That's not possible, neither through reflection or through the native methods of IDispatch. A COM client would use IDispatch::GetIDsOfNames() to check if a named method or property exists and IDispatch::Invoke() to call it. That's the wrong way around for what you want to do. Thanks for your reply (Great help to me). I mean to display the ...Show All

• RubenPieters Is it possible to run an application in Windows XP SP1 which is developed in VB2005, .NET2.0, Windows XP SP2?

  As described in the subject, I developed an application using VB2005 with .NET framework 2.0 which is required to be upgraded when installing VB2005. Set it up on an older computer(There is no problem during setup) which is running in XP SP1, it gives error message as follows: "Selected collating sequence not supported by the operating system." followed by "There is no row at position 0." It seems to me the target database was not connected correctly so the data could not be read. Anybody has the same experience The problem is the older computer system could not be upgraded until after Christmas. The system can not be updated untill after Christmas.

• Jacobeo MS Money 2007--missing msvcr80.dll--Where can I get it, and be safe

  I have used MS Money for 8 years, and when I purchase the 2007 edition, I was having some problems with back up to a flash memory on the E drive (USB). I ran my Symantec System Works, -- find and fix problems it gave me a message that MSVCR80.dll was not available to enable one Money function. I did a google search and came up with .net and msvcr80.dll however it did not have the MS assurance tag and I was hesitant to try to download it and possibly get a virus or a trojan horse. I also do not want to download .net because I am not a developer, and I have read messages that indicated that they cannot get rid of the .net software after they installed the dll. Why would MS fail to put all of the .dlls on the Money Disk. I bought t ...Show All

• freddieb Urgent Problem - Receiving 0 bytes when sending bytes to remote socket

  Hi, I'm having a real urgent problem that only started to show in production. We're using async SSL sockets broadcasting packets to several clients. However, some clients reply with 0 bytes when the packets are sent to them, whereas this problem never showed on our internal network. This only happens for clients connected via the internet.

• Syed Atheeque Pasha WSE066 Error

  Hi, I'm getting the following error on a few clients. -------- Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security.SecurityFault: Message Expired ---> System.Exception: WSE066: Timestamp is expired. This indicates a stale message but may also be caused by lack of synchronization between sender and receiver clocks. Make sure the clocks are synchronized or use the timeToleranceInSeconds element in the microsoft.web.services3 configuration section to adjust tolerance for lack of clock synchronization. -------- I've set the timeToleranceInSeconds to 14400 and verified that the clients receiving this error are within this time window. Since this is only happening on about 5% of my clients, I think this is a client configuration issue and not a service re ...Show All
