• Audio and Video Development New HD DVD players

  Toshiba recently announced new HD DVD players, the cheapest one is $499. But unfortunately True HD tv's are still very expensive. BTW anyone knows if they support persistent storage, or do all hd dvd players have this as default and how much http://www.hardwarezone.com/news/view.php id=5455&cid=5 I think he is living in europe =) Here you get tons of different 'HD ready' devices pretty cheap, but 'HD ready' only means min. 720p.. 1080 devices ( i talk about 'real' TVs not no-name stuff) are starting arround 2500-3000€ (~ 3200 - 3800 US $). But the price drops month by month so i hope that first 1080 displays below 2000€ are availabe until christmas :) ...Show All

• Visual C# why the format is not uniform

  private void port_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e) { comport.ReadTimeout = 300; String s = comport.ReadExisting(); using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(@"C:\test.txt",true)) { sw.Write(DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString() +" "+ s); sw.Flush(); sw.Close(); } } The above method is used to write data from the SerialPort to a text file.

• Windows Forms Problem removing column

  I would like to remove an autogenerated column, so I wrote some code similar to the following dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = true ; dataGridView1.DataSource = customersDataSet; dataGridView1.Columns.Remove("Fax"); Unfortunately, an exception thrown because the Columns collection is empty. If I don't remove the column, the whole table is displayed as usual. It seems that the Columns collection had not been populated at the time the Remove method was invoked. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this problem Thanks! Reference: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hbtwc35f.aspx The code was in the constructor of the form. I have tried moving it to the load event handler after reading your suggestion and no exception was ...Show All

• SQL Server ClusterDistance() of Zero for All Cases

  I recently added a nested table to a model that I had been using for a while. I noticed that after I added the nested table that the ClusterDistance() function returned 0 for every case. I went ahead and changed some of the keys for the nested table records so that the values would show up as missing and now the cases with a missing value have a non-zero ClusterDistance() value. Can anyone help me understand why this may be happening Thanks. How many clusters were in the model And what is the result of the Cluster() function for each case Can you post the cluster content (SELECT FLATTENED * FROM ModelName.CONTENT) Thanks -Jamie ...Show All

• .NET Development System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception:Incorrect Function error in Windows Service using a FileSytemWatcher

  Hello! I have a windows service which monitors a UNC share path for any incoming files and moves them to a new loaction on the same UNC path. The problem is that the windows service is not monitoring the folder( \\AA-11\Infofiles ) for changes but is able to write the changes to another folder on the machine( \\AA-11\Infonewfiles ) when I change the path to monitor as another UNC( \\BB-12\FolderfilesToMonitor ) or local folder(C:\Myfolder). I wrote an eventlog EventLog.WriteEntry("FSWError detected error: " & e.GetException.ToString) in the FSW_Error sub routine and when I checked the eventViewer it had the following entry. "FSWError detected error: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception:Incorrect Function" I'm not su ...Show All

• Smart Device Development RTC API -> Windows Mobile 5.0 for SmartPhone -> C#

  Hi! I'm facing another problem. I need to migrate a VoIP application from a normal Windows application to a Smartphone. This application makes use of the RTC API but I think that for the WM5.0 platform I need to make some changes on the API. Anyone know if it's possible to use a RTC API, in C#, with a SmartPhone Thanks It's amazing how can Microsoft launch, for example, Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile and it works perfectly on Windows Mobile 5.0. No one can use a RTC API on Windows Mobile except for Microsoft... Why they don't launch a public API like they do for the desktop Windows version ...Show All

• Windows Forms OnBeforeInstall and installing EXE side by side with previous version

  I have a Studio 2005 Windows Installer setup project to install my app. Our customers require 6-10 months to validate each release of software (due to FDA rules) so my installer must preserve the existing EXE while also installing the new EXE. This way they can test the new EXE while still getting work done with the old validated one. When I used InstallShield, I could run a script that executed before any files were installed/upgraded to look for an existing EXE and move it to a safe place so it would not be overwritten. I would also create a shortcut to it in its new location. In Studio setup projects, it seemed like using a custom action DLL was the solution. I wrote handlers for the Install and Uninstall events, and most importantly I ...Show All
