• KSK dsnetwork problem

  I am having problems programming the dsnetwork interface in my application. Strange errors show up and its help on msdn is totally messed up. Firstly, I wanna ask about the IID_IMulticastConfig. Where is it defined. I have added the dsnetifc.h as well but to no use, I cant find the CLSID for it. I hope someone here has worked on DsNetwork. I really need help on it! I think I have got it: CLSID IID_IMulticastConfig; CLSIDFromString(L"{1CB42CC8-D32C-4f73-9267-C114DA470378}", &IID_IMulticastConfig); Define IID_IMulticastConfig as follows in the program and it'll work.

• laja Custom State Activity with Custom Designer

  I have a custom activity which inherits from StateActivity. I implement my own FreeFormActivityDesigner and override the OnPaint event. When using a the state workflow designer either in VS or the re-hosting example the OnPaint event gets called and the shape is correctly painted while dragging the shape to the designer surface. However after dropping the shape it is not rendered even though the properties show up in the property sheet. I have looked at the FlowChart custom designer code but I must be missing something. If I drag and drop the shape in a sequential workflow it renders just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. smc750 Ok. But I think that, if the StateDesigner class was public, the work will be more s ...Show All

• jcedwards Windows Mobile 5 and DirectShow StillImage Capture. Any Advice/Tips?

  Hi All, Unfortuantely I'm not a C++ developer but I dable with it when the need arises and a need has certainly arisen. I have a .NETCF2.0 application targeting a WM5.0 PPC device. I want this application to control and use the devices built in camera. Now this has been a hardware specific thing and difficult to code, until now. I have looked at using the .NETCF2.0 Managed Camera API that wraps up the native SHCameraCapture() call in WM5. The managed code fails dismally but I managed to write an embedded C++ DLL that wraps up the SHCameraCapture() call and this works for me. Two problems with this 1) Its horribly slow loading, kind of unacceptable, the built in HP software loads a lot quicker. 2) The complete lack of control over ...Show All

• Chimme Capicom to CryptoAPI

  Hi I want to leverage the cryptography support in Windows for Digital Signatures. It is easy in XP and lower versions. I simply use the Capicom API. However, Capicom is not going to be supported for Vista [http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa375732.aspx]. Is there any other API which will replace Capicom or I will have to use the Crypto API directly. If so, then any pointers/examples would really help. Also, do I need an MSDN license for this. Thanks Govind Pandey ...Show All

• Attila Fogel AGHost.js Strategy

  I've been looking into how aghost.js works and I am curious about something. I like the strategy that YouTube and their ilk use for allowing visitors to embed their player in your site and wonder if the Dev Team could explain why this same strategy isn't used in WPF/E.

Unless you have a specific reason to install our beta 2.2 version, like the version of Office 2007 Beta, you should probably be using the latest build.

• Rathish P S DLL registration fails on Windows vista

• SIYER Error while running the Sharepoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard

  I tried to install MOSS 2007 Beta. I installed all the pre-requisites also. The WSS is getting installed successfully. But when I am trying to run the "Sharepoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard", it throws an FileNotFoundException. Can anyone help me in this regard Thanks Michelle. I will go and post in that sharepoint community. Hiya Syed You are in the wrong forum - this one's for WF not Sharepoint. Your best bet for getting answers to SharePoint 2007 beta installation issues are the Office beta newsgroups.

• twospoons WPFE on Office Live

  Has WPF/E been tested on Office Live I have added the HTML to a page and IE 7 hangs when I navigate to it: http://charettelabs.com/wpfe.aspx Michael It locks up my IE6 machine as well, only after showing a script error of some sort. I downloaded the code and I will try to run it locally. My guess is that running inside an IFRAME with a deferred script might be messing it up. My guess is that this is an Office Live'ism, but I am not sure. If I find anything interestign in the script i'll let you know here. Looks like you are searching for an element named "textspan" in the jscript that I cannot find. I think the issue is with the HTML surrounding the WPFE, not the WPFE. I got the xaml to display, but it didn' ...Show All

• Tryin2Bgood Inconsistent File System Enumeration with FindFirstFile / FineNextFile

  I'm working to get a commercial application to run on Vista. Among the many broken things, the first one I encounter is a crash due to a stack overflow due to a recursive function that goes bad. The app enumerates files in various places using FindFirstFile | FineNextFile in a recursive function (C++). I'm using retail Vista Ultimate with VS 2005 sp1 plus the VS Vista update beta. What I see in the debugger is that when I start out enumerating drive "c:", I come to the "Documents and Settings" folder and recurse into it. When I get to "c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data", FindNextFile then returns "Application Data" over and over again and I recurse into "Application Data&qu ...Show All
