• Visual Basic Reading .RM Files

  hi i would like to read .rm files, i need to know the lenght of the file, play and stop it, and so on, u can say i would like to create something like a .rm Player ,can anybody help me you need the SDK, if one is available, in order for you to work with realplayer. There isn't really another way as it is a file format that only realplayer will understand and if you want to work with realplayer, you need their SDK/development tools so you can create your player and realplayer acting as the background core module that plays the files, whilst you can design your UI or whatever it is. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem of ActiveX

  When I am trying to call an ActiveX's method in my MFC application, it displays a dialog on the top of my application properly. But before it ends, the OS displays a dialog, which says "Another application is running, switch to ...". If I try to switch to others, everything is OK, my application continues to run. Could you tell me how I can avoid displaying the annoying dialog Why Thanks in advance. Depens on the IMessageFilter that is used. If the application waits forever than such a dialog will not appear.

• SQL Server Flat File Data Source

  Is there away to use wild card in the file name for the flat file data source Like //servername/directory/*.txt No problem. To better qualify my answer BTW, you can use wild cards in your source. For example, you can look in the built-in examples that ship with SQL to see an example of this. See C:\program files\microsoft sql server\90\Samples\Integration Services\Package Samples\CaptureDataLineage Sample for more info. The loop gives you more flexibility though with this and allows you to do more advanced breakpoints and multiple tasks against the source file. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Rehash manifest problem

  Hi, I am currently working on my deployment project using Clickonce. I am installing the Clickonce project onto the customer's server using a web setup project. So far no hassle. However, I need to update a settings file within the ClickOnce package on the server. But doing this will invalidate the hash values. So I figured I needed to update the manifests.
