• Audio and Video Development Missing WMCreateWriter in wmvcore.lib

  wmvcore.lib shipped with DirectShow (included in the latest PSDK) doesn't list many functions exported by wmvcore.dll (e.g. WMCreateWriter). Does anybody know the reason for this and where I can obtain wmvcore.lib that matches wmvcore.dll Well, I didn't realize this, but the Format SDK is not supported on Server 2003: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wmform95/htm/sdkversions.asp The next version which is currently in beta will be supported for XP and Vista only. I apologize for not confirming that fact before I pointed you to the Format SDK download.

• Visual C# Read a downloaded .TXT file?

  Hi, I want to read a txt file I've just downloaded to see what it contains. For example, if the file contains 4 pairs of numbers, I want to know what those are. opened txt file: 0.1.1.88 Can anyone help Thanks, If you’ve got this file loaded into a string (such as with File.ReadAllText()) that contains only the values you desire... you could easily call Split() to break the numbers up into separate parts within an array such as this example: string str = "0.1.1.88" ; string [] parts = str.Split( '.' ); Once this code has executed, the array named parts will contain each of the 4 values on different indexes. From there all you need to do is convert those individual strings to numb ...Show All
