• Smart Device Development multimedia with WM5

  Hi, I am trying to use WMP10 on window mobile 5.0 from c++ and would like to know if I need to install WMP 10 SDK Reference to other useful link or thread related to this topic would be great. cheers, Yes, install the WMP10 SDK. The type libraries are compatible in that they use the same GUIDs. WMP10 Mobile simply does not implement some of the interfaces or methods/properties, so you need to watch for E_NOINTERFACE when doing QI or E_NOTIMPL when calling a method or getting/setting a property. Also the documentation includes references to WMP10 Mobile and whether the particular functionality is supported on it ...Show All

• .NET Development Dialog Class and debuging

  Hi all, When I am programming, I usualy use Message Boxes or Dialog Windows or Console Outputs to help me debug my application. Now I am developping a Web Application and I do not know how to have the same interaction. Do you know a way to output information in that matter Thanks, JR Debug.WriteLine() needs some configuration to make it work (setting up a TraceListener). If you want a quick fix, try System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Log(0, null, "Hello!"); Debug.WriteLine() will ultimately call Debugger.Log(), so you can just jump to the chase. ...Show All

• .NET Development Deadly Delegates

  Hi No idea where I should post this, my problem involves MSSCCI Intergration, C#, PInvokes and Function Pointers. Basically I am trying to create an application that uses the existing MSSCCI plugins out there. I have hit many problems along the way, but may latest involves function pointers. I am in C#, so I am using PInvoke to call to the MSSCCI dlls, for example: [DllImport(@"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\VSS\win32\SSSCC.DLL")] public static extern int SccGetVersion(); [DllImport(@"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\VSS\win32\SSSCC.DLL")] public static extern int SccCheckout(IntPtr ppContext, IntPtr hWnd, int nFiles, IntPtr[] lpFileNames, string lpComment, int fOptions, ...Show All

• .NET Development Background Intelligent Transfer Service Error occured in the secure channel support

  This seemed the most appropriate spot for this post. Here is my issue. I have an application that uses BITS to perform transfers. ON just about every machine it works like a charm with no issues. However on windows 2000 server and now a single(so far) windows XP machine I am receiving the following error message. "An Error occurred in the secure channel support." This error message is retrieved using the bitsadmin tool to look at the specific job we have created. As I said on other xp computers and non 2000 server computers it works like a charm. Anyone have any advice on this topic This forum is dedicated to questions relating to the System.Net namespace in the .Net Framework. Please see http://www.microsoft.com ...Show All

• Visual C# I am interested in Game Programming plz suggest me which lang to choose C++ or C#

  I am interested in Game Programming plz suggest me which lang to choose C++ or C#. actually Im good in both but wanted to know which is widely used or will be used. So that I go with that  If you've not started programming properly yet. Then I'd suggest heading over to the XNA Game Studio area, it's a must for Game programming newbies. XNA uses C#, which is good for begining game programmers to start with. C++ is more for the Pro who want to write their own Game engine and start from scratch, whereas XNA gives you the basics so you can learn all the Game programming background in 2d and 3d. XNA Rockstar over on the XNA forums made a good helper post for budding new game programmers - http://forums.micros ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions "Name 'X509Certificate2UI' is not declared" error

  I'm trying to work with a sample of code from MSDN. One of the lines from the code is: Dim collection As X509Certificate2Collection = X509Certificate2UI.SelectFromCollection(fcollection, "Select an X509 Certificate" , "Choose a certificate to examine." , X509SelectionFlag.SingleSelection) VBEE is complaining about X509Certificate2UI and X509SelectionFlag. I've imported " System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates", which defines these names. I've used the Object Browser to check that they are there. However, Intellisense doesn't list them if I try to type it manually to see what is available, and I can't get the code to build. --Philip I'm usi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Microsoft Agent Request Event Question

  Happy New Year VB Experts, I am attempting to use the Microsoft Agent in an application; you know, the Clipit and Merlin characters. According to the documentation that I have found there is a Request event which is fired by a number of the Agent methods. The agent _RequestComplete event is used to keep the Agent animations and the rest of the program in sync. This is how I attempted to program the Request event. The code sample just contains the code pertaining to this problem. Public Class Form1 Private WithEvents MYAgent As AgentObjects.Agent Private MYChar As AgentObjects.IAgentCtlCharacter Private MYRequest As Object Sub LoadAgent() MYAgent = New AgentObjects.Agent With MYAgent .Connected = True ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using datagridTableStyles on grids that are populated to a dataset with multiple relationships

  Greetings, I have a data grid that is populated by a data set. This particular data set contains three tables (one parent and two children) that have relations set up. I'm trying to remove a column from each table when it is displayed on the grid. Removing the column for the parent table wasn't a problem. It is trying to remove the columns for the child tables that is making me scratch my head. I was thinking it was a simple matter of using similar code for each child table. However, this does not work. I'm not sure the tablestyles collection contains the child table names. ( Not sure how to check this ) Also, I'm assuming I have to create new datagridstyles for each of the new table styles. However, in debug mode these child d ...Show All

• SQL Server Need help with Insert or Update from Excel

  Hello - I have an Excel data source from a customer. The data source is a daily dump from the customer's HR system - bascially data about people. Some of these are new (to the data source) and some already exist in my database (from a previous import). What I am trying to do is: If the row in Excel is new, then INSERT the data into my table. If the row in Excel already exists in my database, then I just want to UPDATE the data in my table. The Excel data contains an ID field from the HR system that I store in my table for lookups. However, I also generate an ID from my table, when the data is inserted. I have a Lookup task that uses the HR system ID from the Excel file and this will return the rows that already exist. These are ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Technique to view large jpgs

  What's the best way to view a high resolution jpg photo I tried the picturebox control in a form approach, and it won't work for high resolution photos because when the Bitmap class converts the jpg to a bmp, it's too huge for the device. I would like to scale it to the screen size (I scaled it before and so I know it will work), but I have a "chicken or the egg" problem. I have to convert it to a Bitmap first before I can scale it. Bitmap hiResBmp = new Bitmap("hi_res_photo.jpg"); //dies here Bitmap smallBmp = MyScaleImageMethod(hiResBmp) pictureBox.Image = (Image)smallBmp; Or is the only solution to pre-process the jpgs (make them smaller) before loading them on the device Thanks ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Web part development in local machine or server

  Hi, I have a server where the WSS installed and I have installed VS 2005 in my local machine.

• Visual Studio Team System Code Analysis on project for Windows CE

  Hi I'am trying to use the VSTS Code Analysis feature on native C++-code for the Windows CE-platform. I have found out the following facts: - /analyze is only available in Enterprise (team development) versions for x86 compilers.” and there is no configuration node in the project configuration tree. The option to start it however is still available in the Build->Project Only Menue, so I still assume that it is supposed to work. - When using this menue-entry to start it, at first the problem with the missing preprocessor definitions pops up and can be solved via workaround as described in( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=159315&SiteID=1 ) - Having fixed this, it seems however that none of the warnings ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook: MAPI fields versus User Properties

  Hi, I want to improve an outlook addin which is using mapi fields (a lot) and this is generating abnormal behaviors in outlook, so now I'm in doubt to quit all use of mapi fields fo User Properties but I need some recomendatios or comments about using "mapi fields vs user properties" (or viceversa). Thanks, Mauricio. When you work with MAPI properties, you need to make sure you release items promptly so that you don't get conflicts between an item still held in memory and the item the user sees in the UI. It may even be necessary to force GC.Collect. ...Show All
