• Indo Package Load Failure after installing VS Extensions for Workflow

• chaza How can I get the type at design time of the value represented by an ActivityBind?

  I would like to retrieve at design time (more precisely in a specific activity designer I am coding), the type of the value that is represented/bound by an ActivityBind instance.

• Chandra4332 Is there a possibility to run the SendEmail Activity with Lotus mail server?

  Hello, Is there a possibility to run the SendEmail Activity with Lotus mail server if it's how would I proceed Actually this sample uses the System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient class; there are no credential properties on the activity sample, but we can add it : the SmtpClient class has a "Credentials" property.

• bishoycom Unable to create folder in C:\Windows\WinSXS in Vista OS

  Hi, I was checking compatibility of one of my MFC application in Vista OS. Usually if the MFC shared dlls are not present, i used to copy them in WinSXS under folder with the required folder name like x86_Microsoft.VC80.xxxx. (Installing VC++ Redist also didnt work in my case.) And this would make the application work perfectly. When i tried to do the same thing in Vista OS, it failed to create the folder. I removed the read only attributes and tried again but in vain. The error i am getting is "User didnt have enough permission to perform this task" but I logged in as Administrator.

• NetPochi Silent elevation in IE7 protected mode

  I'm trying to make use of the capability for IE7 to silently elevate a broker process to medium integrity, as described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/ie/default.aspx pull=/library/en-us/IETechCol/dnwebgen/ProtectedMode.asp#wpm_elebp Unfortunately, this information seems to be incomplete; it decribes the values that need to be filled in to the registry, but not the structure of that data (e.g., "A REG_SZ value for the executable name" but not where this REG_SZ lives).

• Shadowz O Death pushsource filter and mpeg multiplexing

  Hi, I am trying to create an application which captures desktop audio and video in mpeg format. I am able to capture both audio (using audio capture device) and video (using pushsource desktop filter). I am also able to encode them into mpeg format using mpeg encoders. Individual audio and video streams are great at this time.Problem comes when I multiplex them using mpeg multiplexer.The stream just vanishes and only zero byte file is created. If I pass just audio through multiplexer, it comes out properly.However, if I pass just video through multiplexer, the stream is gone. Can anybody tell me why this might be happening and how to fix it thanks and regards, Nikita I do not know your r ...Show All

• bkizzy Sample Grabber misses samples

  Hi All, I'm struggling to work out why the sample grabber sometimes misses samples. I have a filter graph which consists of a DV camera as source, dv splitter, dv decoder and a sample grabber on the video chain through to a video renderer, and the audio chain terminates in a null renderer. I'm using the sample grabber's buffercb method, which includes a double SampleTime parameter. I write a simple callback which basically divides this double value by 0.040 (my video is 25Hz, 40ms/frame) to get a frame number. I'm then just storing this frame number in an array. I'm not doing anything else in the callback, so it's very lean and mean After ~50 minutes of video, I dump the array contents out so i can analyse what frames i receive ...Show All
