Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Will build #5536.16385 of Vista be compatible with D3D10 in August'06 SDK?
Hi, Just checked my email and it seems that beta testers (maybe MSDN people as well) can now get another pre-RC1 build of Vista. The August'06 SDK states that the D3D10 CTP will only work with RC1 of Vista and the other recent pre-RC1 build wasn't good enough. So, just wondering if anyone here knows if 5536 will work with the August SDK or if we still need to stick with Beta-2 and the June SDK. Would save me a lot of time before I go and download 5gb of ISO's and spend a few hours setting up my test machine... Cheers, Jack I was brave enough to try it. August SDK installs without problems and D3D10 samples work. Unfortunately I can’t get my internet connection running but this is another problem. PS: the iso is ...Show All
Internet Explorer Development Please help on VB Script on HTML.
Hello guys, I wish to make a HTML page that shows all the pictures in the child directory respected to my HTML page location. I know I can use document.write to populate the HTML code and I know the basic syntax of VB script. But I don't know how to retrive the current HTML file path. And I don't know how to retrive a list of dir names and file names as well. Please help, thank you. This code is intended to build the page dinamically and populate it with all the flash files in the current folder. You can easily (I think) modify it to show all images in a folder up or down the current one. Works better if you make it an HTA (just change the termination to .hta) Hope this helps <BODY ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Binding workitemcollection from Query to datagrid control
We are working on a simple website that allows our -non-tech people to execute WIQ strings. Getting the correct stored WIQ isn't that hard, getting the results from executing it neither. Problems kick in when we try to bind the 'workitemcollection' to a datagrid and we only want to display the columns that were actually requested. Problem when doing this is that the individual workitems contain a fields collection that actually hold the values we want to display (among those some custom fields). So far no luck, any help would be appreciated. Current code: items = tfsData.Store.Query(query.QueryText, parameters); //// Build list DataGrid dataGrid = new DataGrid (); dataGrid.Width = Unit .Percentage(100); dataGri ...Show All
Visual Studio Problem with Crystal Report
I have developed a crystal report with the wizard by selecting the fields in a typed dataset. One of the fields in the table is 'Function'. I developed this report in C# project. I wanted to use the same report in a VB.NET application. I just added the above report and changed the 'Function' field to 'Func' as Function is a keyword in VB. I tried different things to change the previous datasetName.Function to datasetName.Func but I could not find a way to do that. But the field is still there and it is searching for a missing field datasetName.Function. Is there a simple way to replace or modify the existing field on the report so that the report works Thanks Basani Hi mewdied, As I am ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How-to skin application?
Hello, I am looking into the subject and have to say, that I feel a bit disoriented... :( My goal is to build the main application and allow our partners to develop skins that can be distributed/sold to product users. Obviously, we would like to make it hack-proof, so that "outsiders" cannot modify skins/develop new skins. Solution that comes to mind would be to have signed assemblies that would contain ResourceDictionaries (with optional related code), so that application could load those assemblies at run-time, validate them, and apply templates. I would guess that it is something easy to do, but I have unfortunate feeling that I am becoming almost sure that this scenario is not supported by WPF (I refuse t ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) All-in-one bundle Beta 1 or CTP?
When will we be able to have an easier-to-install updated CTP of ADO.NET vNext The current one is a September 2006 CTP that requries the May 2006 CTP of LINQ in order to function. Are there any firm dates as to when LINQ and ADO.NET vNext will either become parallel (release at the same time) or get rolled into the same CTP/Beta Yes, we'd like to be able to get you to that happy state of everything in one CTP as soon as possible :-). It just takes a bit longer to get everything integrated into one build as there are a number of dependencies. BTW: I was being conservative on when the Orcas CTP build would come out that has the Entity Framework so I said sometime during the next few weeks. Actually, it was posted today at http://www ...Show All
Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Storing Downloader's retrieved data
Is there a way to store the data that is retrieved by using the Downloader object, so that it can be assigned to a MediaElement or Image using the SetSource() method, at a later time For instance: var downloadedMedia = new Array(); ... function OnCompleted(sender, args) { if (sender.uri == "Image0.png") downloadedMedia[0] = sender; if (sender.uri == "Image1.png") downloadedMedia[1] = sender; } ... Download all media one after the other ... myImage0.setSource(downloadedMedia[0]); myImage1.setSource(downloadedMedia[1]); This won't actually set myImage0 to be "Image0.png" because downloadedMedia[0] gets updated to point at "Image1.png" when the OnCompleted method g ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista Multiple output windows
I'm somewhat new to DirectShow, so forgive me, as I couldn't find an answer to this question, after searching for a couple days. I need to output from a graph (video), to multiple outputs, whether they be separate windows and/or monitors, at the same time. The docs are hardly good at trying to figure that out :( Using VMR9 (windowless), and I can output fine to a single window, but have no clue how to split the output to go different places at the same time. Do I need to create separate graphs off an infinite tee to render to more than one place at a time Help :) Exactly, insert an infinite pin tee in your graph, and use it to copy your video stream to as many renderers as needed.
