Visual C# reducing image size
Hi.. im building an application to distribute the desktop image to other clients... when i capture the desktop the image size is approximatly 55KB.. in a Jpeg format.. is there a routine or a method to reduce the size ! thnx Hello. I recently ran into this same problem while trying to resize images. While I know of no .NET easy solution to the problem, I modified an image library I found online to fit my needs. I have tested this following code somewhat, but it may contain some bugs as I have not tested it extensively. I made several changes to the code to give different options for scaling an image and a rework of the basic way it resized images. At any rate, I hope that it at least helps to push yo ...Show All

Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Listing the attributes of a graph
I would like, by means of vba code, to list all the attributes and their values for a particular excel graph that I have. I want these values in order to be able to "mass produce", by means of vba, graphs with the same set of attributes and atrribute values). Anyone have code for that This would be a HUGE amount of code. It would be easier to create a user-defined chart type and apply it to your charts: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/ChartsHowTo/CreateCustomTypes.html ...Show All
Smart Device Development Q: POOM and named properties
After doing some research, I've managed to write some named properties using the Redemption library in C# Now I'd like to read the on my Windows Mobile Device and I understand the POOM library will allow me to read them using .netcf in C#. Does anyone have any hints/code that might make this task easier Thanks in advance! Adam Steven writes about POOM in his blog. It is a good starting point. http://blogs.msdn.com/stevenpr/archive/2005/06/15/429585.aspx ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista WSProfile Example of Sept 2005 CTP conversion to June CTP. Stuck.
I need the equivalent of the SecurityTokenServiceSamples folder from the FederatedIdentityAndAccessResourceKitSept2005CTP.msi that works with JuneCTP. I asked Nigel in another post if that sample is located in the Windows SDK as I was unable to find it. In the meantime I am trying to convert the WSProfile sample to work in the June CTP. I have it compiling correctly. I made minor Reference changes, using changes, and .config file changes. I can generate the mex and produce the new code for the generatedProxy.cs. When I run the sample, CardSpace pops up and I send the service my card. But the client comes back with this exception: ------------------------ Exception Type: System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityNegotiationExcepti ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista Trouble with WF HOL Lab 3
This is regarding Lab 3 of the WF RC Hands On Labs , Hosting the Windows Workflow Foundation Runtime. Even after doing a repair installation, I am missing the SQL scripts for this lab. CreateDatabaseObjects.cmd executes Tracking_Schema.sql, Tracking_Logic.sql, SqlPersistenceService_Schema.sql and SqlPersistenceService_Logic.sql from C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Workflow Foundation\SQL\EN\. That path does not exist on my machine. I did a search on those scripts and couldn't find them anywhere on my C: drive. Has anybody else had this problem If so, how did you resolve it Also, if anyone can send those scripts in a zip file to me, I can take it from there (hopefully). Thanks!

Visual C++ Try This Code In VS2005
Here is a very problem i came through while writing a very simple program in VS2005 Professional Edition. Try the following code: #include<iostream> using std::cout; int main(); { int i=0; cout<<(i+1)<<" "<<i++; return 0; } The expected output is:1 0 However,the output comes out to be: 2 0. When i tried the same code on dev-cpp compiler the output is as expected i.e 1 0.

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sound performance problems
Hi! I've implemented a small arcade shooter-ish game to test XNA for my studio. I love XNA so far. Getting generally good performance. I'm doing most of my stuff on the GPU anyways. But I've got a problem with the sound: it kills my framerate. I'm justs playing some simple explosion and firing sounds, but they bring my framerate down from ~450 to ~100 without vsync, and down to ~30 fps with vsync enabled (!). Without sound effects I get a rock solid 75 fps with vsync enabled. Could this be the sound playback causing performance spikes The sound code and the sound effects are taken straight from the SpaceWars template (shame on me, I know).

Audio and Video Development Regarding Applicative Style
We can view a tick like this : tick start Live DOM a) evaluate all Xpath Expressions on LiveDOM (since all Xpath Expressions are evaluated on LiveDOM at start of the tick). b) Apply Animation ( LiveDOM modified) c) Draw LiveDOM tick end The question is when is the applicative style ( which is applied at every tick ) applied before a) or before b) The order in which styles are applied is covered in 7.6.1. Applicative -> Referential -> Inline -> Timed I don't believe HDiSim currently processes Applicative styles on every tick as the spec says it should; it only does it at the start. ...Show All

.NET Development XML Serialization Over TCP Sockets
I have an appliction that serializes an object over a NetworkStream, and I want the receiving application to deserialize the object as effeciently as possible. Is it possible to directly deserialize an object using XML Serialization and NetworkStream's In VB, the receiving application has the following line of code: MessageObj = CType(Serializer.Deserialize(NetStream), Message) The application appears to hang on this line. However, when I close the application that originally serialized the object to the stream, the receiving application continues and successfully displays a value contained within the deserialized object.

Visual Studio Tools for Office Workbook.save() not behaving as expected.
I have a VSTO 2005 SE add-in for excel in which I need to programatically save the document on an event. When I tried workbook.save() to accomplish this the workbook gets saved with its temporary name eg "Book1.xlsx" in My Documents and doesnt pop-up a save as dialogue even with a document which is previously unsaved. I tried this with a word document and there the behaviour was as expected ie. it shows a save-as dialogue for a fresh document and doesn't when the document has been previously saved. Is there a workaround to avoid this behaviour As a crude workaround I wrote the following code. string path = workbook .Path; if ( String .IsNullOrEmpty(path)) { SaveFileDialog dialog = new SaveFileDialog (); ...Show All
