• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) BitmapDecoder Metadata via HTTP URI

  I am trying to read MetaData (i.e. Camera used in a photo) from an image sitting on my website. I know the metadata is in the photo, and I know the web server is transferring it by watching a HexDump of the data after a direct request to the server. Also, when I transfer the photo to my local harddrive, I can read the MetaData with the following code: Uri uri = new Uri (" file://c:\\temp\\testimage.jpg " ); BitmapDecoder decoder = BitmapDecoder .Create(uri, BitmapCreateOptions .None, BitmapCacheOption .None); BitmapFrame frame = decoder.Frames[0]; BitmapMetadata m = frame.Metadata as BitmapMetadata ; However, whenever I change the uri to use an HTTP style and pull the image directly from my website without ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Algorithmic Challenge

  what is the best way to "download" a matrix into the gpu (integer values 0-255) apply an affine transformation to it (rotate stretch etc) and read it back. i have no knowledge of graphic programming , but i want to move some of the number-crunching from the cpu to the gpu, and this simple task of rotating and stretching a BW image seems like an easy thing to accomplish on the gpu. by the way i would appriciate a solution in c# since it is easier for me to read but c++ is also acceptable. o.k thats it for now help me out and be rewarded with genuine heartfelt thanks.. peace out long live the revolution You might want to look into the www.gpgpu.org website - the use of GPU's for number crunching i ...Show All

• Visual Basic Comparing a variable to a combo box in visual studio 2005

  Hello, I filled out a combo with a datatable and now I want to compare a value of a variable to see if it matches with any item in my combo and then place the first item of the combo to be the one that match. I've tried selecteditem, selectedtext, datarowview, findstring. With the first two options the problem is that I haven't chosen anything yet. I know this might be simple but I'm really having problems with it. This is an example code of what i'm doing .Clear() cbo.DataSource = .OpenDataTable( "Select CODE + '-' + DESC as DESC1 from SP_TYPES where CODE <> 'RC'" , CommandType.Text) cbo.DisplayMember = "MEMBERDESC" cantidad = cbo.Items.Count 'For i = 0 To cantidad ...Show All

• Visual C++ Link Error 2019

  Hi all, I am creating an exe that does some socket programming. I have #included winsock.h. But whenever I call a fuction from winsock, I get a linker error. The text of the error is below. Does anyone know how to fix this unresolved external symbol _recv@16 referenced in function "void __cdecl GetNewMsgs(unsigned int *)" ( GetNewMsgs@@YAXPAI@Z) Thanks You will have to add the directory that winsock.lib directly lies below. For example if winsock.lib is under C:\AdditonalStuff\AdditionalLibs\winsock.lib You have to add: ”C:\AdditionalStuff|additionalLibs” in your additional dependencies.

• Visual C# Interfaces oversold???

  First, I must admit that I am a C# novice and so I probably don’t have as much knowledge and experience on the subject of interface as most of you guys reading this post. After reading a few books on C# and interface design, I still can’t see and understand the real power of interface unless of course, we are talking about interfaces as a powerful concept in OOP ‘only’ and not as a powerful concept in the general sense. When I was first learning OOP I was quite suspicious about the ‘excellent features’ that OOP claims to be able to deliver to the world and I was right. For example, in reality OOP offers very little if any, code reuse. I am now having the same suspicion about interfaces even though I see a lot nice words used to d ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Deploy to device not keeping setting - VS2003/VB.NET

  Hi I am searching for some Imagebuttons designed for Compact Framework 2.0. But I cant find any company which have developed such buttons.

• Visual Studio Team System Create a Team Project Programatically

  Can anybody help me with a code sample to create a Team Project programatically using TFS client APIs. You can create the team projects programmatically, but you need to duplicate all the work that Project Creation Wizard (and all the project creation plugins) does. Unfortunately, there is no publicly exposed API to do all of that. Since this is very laborious, there are two options for you: 1. Automate the Project Creation Wizard UI. Very cheap, but not very extensible. 2. Examine what the Project Creation Wizard does, and make wrappers for all the calls it does and invoke them your self. This is error prone, but will be much more resilient to failures than option 1. Your best option is UI automation.. ...Show All
