• Audio and Video Development Query About page clock behaviour

  Hi to all, I have a doubt about the behaviour of page when the document.load() API is called. As far as I know, whatever changes have taken place on the markup page, all gets reflected when the document.load() is called, but does it also mean that the "page clock" gets reset. In one of my scenario, I am passing the event at the -- select=//body begin="1s" dur="1s" event=foo -- and in the script, I am calling document.load().

• Architecture Enterprise Service Bus

  Hello all, our goal is to start building a service oriented architecture. So we are going to provide functionality of our existing applications as web services. We don't want point to point relationships betweend consumer and provider. So that is the point where something like a entprise service bus comes up. What is the enterprise service bus product of microsoft Is it the UDDI server Thanks in advance Hennesey Hans, first, if you are happy with what you have and it fulfills your business needs - then don't touch it. That said, ESBs have a different underlying principle - the one of a bus instead of a central hub - which makes it easier to do stuff like the things you do and g ...Show All

• Visual C# convert some old C++ into C# code

  I am trying to redo a program that was originaly done with C/C++. The abilities of C# means that we can do the same thing more elequently and without as many outside commercial programs. The problem is that I do need to use one commercial program and I am trying to figure out how to call it. I have found the code that the old programmer used to execute the other program. I am trying to figure out how to translate that into C# code. I found the following code snippet on MSDN, so I know that the original programmer did it by the book, but I don't know how to do the same thing in C#. Here is the code: #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> void f () { STARTUPINFOA si; PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; ZeroMemory( &si, s ...Show All
