• Audio and Video Development backgroundImage parameters

  The CSS used in iHD seems to be a bit different than CSS2.0. First question: Does the HD specification cover style syntax and definitions Second question (and example of my confusion): One of the samples posted to these forums includes a backgroundImage assignment with multiple items. I'm guessing this is to define different images per state. style:backgroundImage="url('BUTTON_T1_0.PNG') url('BUTTON_T1_1.PNG')" What is the signature for this style declaration Thanks. I cannot seem to get my own example to work in the iHD simulator (below).  It validates clean. < xml version="1.0" > <root xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.dvdforum.org/2005/ihd"   xmlns:style="http://www.dvdforum.org/2005/ihd#style" ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Sharing data between different instances of BHO

  Hi I work in a single sign on system that uses a BHO to complete logins in IE. In IE6 everything worked fine, but now doesn't It seems that the data used to complete the fields isn't beign received. The data is passed throught a shared data memory area inside the BHO's DLL. The question is, with the new security changes, could be that IE7 doesn't allow sharing data between different BHO instances and a controlling app Each tab haves a BHO instance A BHO can send messages via PostMessage to applications I'm testing the BHO in a XP SP2 so no protected mode is involved. And I'm coding in VC++ Thanks a lot Sebastian To answer some of your questions: Yes, Each tab does have its own instance of the BHO. ...Show All

• SQL Server Rendering problem in PDF and TIFF

  using ssrs 2005 I have a report that looks fine in the preview and in mhtml. But in Tiff and PDF it page ejects and takes another blank page and an eject prior to printing a textbox. The textbox is as wide as the page width (I have made it narrower and played around with the height in the layout envirnoment to no avail) and the data is a varchar(8000) with about 700 characters in it in this instance. The report also takes an extra page eject at the end when in PDF or Tiff format. I have not objects in the report that are overlapping and there are no warnings. What could be causing this behavior. Regards, Gary I'm really not sure what you mean by "page eject". Do you mean ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Function Memoization

  I am playing with Wes Dyers' excellent Memoization Function applied on Fibonacci function and I think the Memoize extension function is not correctly executed on a method argument. More precisely the following code: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; namespace Fibonacci { static class Program { public static Func <A, R> Memoize<A, R>( this Func <A, R> f) { var map = new Dictionary <A, R>(); return a => { R value; if (map.TryGetValue(a, out value)) return value; value = f(a); map.Add(a, value); return value; }; } static void Test( Func < int , int > f, int i, str ...Show All

• .NET Development Updating a DataTable without recreating

  Is it possible to update a DataTable via a data adapter without having to create a new DataTable and Fill() it again The problem I'm having is that I am adding some new rows to a DataTable which is then updated back to my data source which assigns the row a new IDENTITY. Thus, I need to update the rows in the DataTable to retrieve the new identities. However, nothing I do seems to reload those specific rows. I guess they don't appear as "dirty" to the Fill() method and so are left unchanged. Is it possible to somehow manually mark rows as "dirty" such that the new values will be loaded and filled from the database without having to delete and recreate the entire DataTable from scratch to load everything This is causin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sandcastle buildassembler generates indexoutofrangeexception

  Hello All, I was using the July and now the August Sandcastle CTP, but now I seem unable to generate documentation. It still seems to work on a small test assembly, but on the assembly I was documenting the buildassembler generates an exception - I have pasted in the exception from the event log. I cannot send you the assembly to recreate the problem as it contains company code, but I would appreciate any advice on what it is that might be generating the exception. I have also included the last few messages output during the buildassembler phase.

• SQL Server Changing "Connection String" in SSIS package ???

  Hi! I create a SSIS Package for ETL on my own machine. During development database was also on my machine. For access to this database an OLE DB connection was defined within a package in BI Development Studio. Everything worked well both in debug mode and testing package itself. Finally I need to load data to a database on a different machine using this package. I used several scenaries: 1) simply copied the package-file to estination machine, open it for execution, in section "Connection Managers" I edited connection string manually - changed server name and Initial Catalog. And try to execute. 2) on the destination machine I manually created an OLE DB connection (using Microsoft Data Link) to a different datab ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Axecontrols and Base64 Strings

  Hi all, I am building an app that uses an axecontrol which lets people sign their names electronically into said axecontrol and a method which takes the image of their signature and turns it into a Base64 string. I'm trying to save it into an access database, but it's not working. When I try to save it as the base64 string, it tells me I need to change the field type (in the database) to Base[ ]. Alternatively, when I try to convert the Base64 string into a normal string to save in as a string in the database, it gives me the error message 'Invalid character in Base-64 string'. Anyone have any ideas on how to proceed from here Please Hmm, confusing. Never heard of an 'axecontrol', nor a field type of 'Base' in Access. Try ...Show All
