• Smart Device Development Writing EXIF Metadata in Windows Mobile 5

  I have a problem for embedding EXIF metadata information to a JPEG file in a PDA (using Windows Mobile 5). There's a good example to read EXIF metadata from a JPEG: http://www.pocketpcdn.com/forum/viewtopic.php t=6211 I can easily replace the command GetPropertyItem with SetPropertyItem, but what next Because in my opinion, these commands are applied in a memory stream and we have to save it into file if we want to embed the EXIF metadata to a JPEG file. Please help! Thank you in advance. Thank you, I got the ImageCodecInfo object. Next how to choose the correct CLSID for IImagingFactory::CreateImageEncoderToFile And then where do we specify the source image filename Is it in th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Generating docs using Sandcastle (CTP) from un-managed C++

  Hi all. This has probably been asked before but...... Is Sandcastle able to or will be able to produce docs from un-managed code I've generated an XML comments file from my C++ source, but MrefBuilder can't do anything with it because my code doesn't use any managed assemblies. Running MrefBuilder on this comments file yields a "0 assemblies loaded...etc" message. This results in an empty reflection file and a wasted chm . Would creating my own .org file, based on the contents of the C++ comments file then enable Sandcastle to create the docs Thanks for you help. Adam I would like to add that we do have plans to address documentation for unmanaged code and schemas in Sandcastle V2.0 time-frame. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Opening editor with particular code page

  I would like to be able to tell the core editor which code page to use when openning a file (instead of auto detecting). I currently use IVsUIShellOpenDocument interface to open documents when the user clicks on a file node in the solution explorer. But I can't find any way to tell which code page to use. Any suggestions on how to do this vsphp Hallo, Normally there is a different editor factory for normal editors and editors with encoding. I suppose you're also the editor factory implementer. If yes, then follow one of the following procedures in your implementation of the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsEditorFactory.CreateEditorInstance() method: To set the text buffer to a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office ThisApplication_Startup not being called - ie. plugin not loading

    I have written an outlook plugin using VSTO. The plugin loads fine and works great if the user clicks on the outlook icon. On the other hand, if outlook is started via automation and then outlook is opened, the plugin does not load. These cases are described below. When the user signs on to windows xp with activesync set to run on startup. ActiveSync syncs with outlook by starting it through, AFAIK, automation. Now when the user opens Outlook by clicking on the outlook icon,  the plugin is not loaded. Another example is when the user has Outlook closed and they click on an oft file on their desktop, and then open Outlook, the plugin is not loaded. Please advise. Thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server Copy SQL Server 2005 DB to SQL Server Mobile - is it possible?

  I'm creating a prototype of a PDA app using CF.Net 2.0 and SQL Server Mobile for a prospective client and I've gone through and designed, built and populated a database using SQL Server 2005... and then realised where I really need it is on the PDA! Without going through all the pain of setting up SQL replication or writing all the code is there a way to export a 2005 database to SQL Server Mobile so it results in an .SDF file I know I can script each table out and run it via the SS2005 management studio when connected to a local .sdf file then copy that to the PDA but the thing is I really want to keep my test data so I don't have to re-enter it again. TIA for any help... there must be a way to do this but I'm quite new to SQL Server ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista SqlWorkflowPersistenceService lock expire tests irrelevant?

  Various queries in the stored-procedures in Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Workflow Foundation\SQL\EN\SqlPersistenceService_Logic.sql are testing whether (dbo.InstanceState.ownerId = @ownerId but also whether the lock is (not) expired !! AND dbo.InstanceState.ownedUntil >= @now) IMO this last check is irrelevant when you already verified that you are the owner of the lock. Here is what happens: I have a state machine workflow with a state containing a delay activity followed by a setState activity. The delay activity idles but tracing shows that my workflow is reloaded from the persistence store !! First the lock times out, then the delay. No loading (at first) because my workflow was already loaded ...Show All

• Windows Forms Listbox to show options from a related table

  On a Windows form, I have textboxes to show data rows of a main table. The main table has a foreign key to a minor table which is a list of status values ("Pending", "In Progress" and "Done"). The object is to display the status in a listbox or combobox. I want to know how to do this. Some notes: 1) The code to set up connections, DataAdapters, CommandBuilders, bindingsources, Datasets, etc works fine. 2) I would like to set up any constructs in code rather than with a wizard. 3) Unless I have to I want to avoid creating the relationship between the tables in the wizard. 4) I get the sense that one Dataset can access and update both tables, but I don't know how to tell the dataset about additional tables. ...Show All
