• Audio and Video Development Saving stream settings

  I'm trying to save streams settings (e.g. audio/subtitle track numbers) on titleEnd system event and what I've noticed that Tosh player trigger this event after loading the new title, so I couldn't use currentTitle to collect settings because it already point to the new one. Can anybody give an idea where is the best place to save these Thanks Peter! it's clear now.

• .NET Development Why is this SQL statement slow?

  I have a database with 1,000,000 records. I am trying to implement a paging technique using the SELECT TOP statement. On an SQL server db, it is relativley fast. In access DB which is linked to the table in the SQL server DB, it is slow. I am running it through an OLEDB DataAdapter. It is slow when I use a statement such as : SELECT TOP 5 * FROM MyTable ORDER BY PrimaryKey It will speed up when I modify the statement as follows: SELECT TOP 5 * FROM MyTable WHERE PrimaryKey < 'Small Number' ORDER BY PrimaryKey Why does it speed up when I modify the WHERE clause to return only a small number of the records Shouldn't the TOP statement make it fast by itself I'm baffled. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Design time only data

  Hi, I have a component that uses a lot of data at design-time to "configure" its own sub-components, properties, etc. I want to store this data in the project, but I don't want it to be CodeDom-serialized into the class, since loading all this data at run-time would affect performance. I've been storing this data in the .resx file so far (using DesignOnlyAttribute), but this introduces a problem: even if I provide a TypeConverter for the serialized type, it's assembly version is included in the resx file, which breaks the whole component deserialization once the assembly is upgraded to a new version, introducing the need to create some sort of "upgrading" application that would parse the resx files, re-ser ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Can I avoid serialization problems by going code-only

  Hi I am trying to consider which authoring mode to use for designing workflows. We will only be providing compiled workflow types to the runtime and we will be designing workflows with the default worklfow designer in visual studio. Reading one of the posts on this forum there seems to be some limitations with the code-seperation approach in regard to serializing generic types. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=875768&SiteID=1 . In our scenario would we be able to avoid these serialization problems if we went with the code-only approach Cheers Duncan In most cases using the code only workflow would keep you from getting serialization errors but not all.

• SQL Server Error Handling with Execute Package Task

  I have a main package that calls several other packages using Execute Package Tasks. I also have OnPreExecute, OnPostExecute, and OnError event handlers at the package level to audit the beginning and completion of each package. I want to prevent each task from bubbling up to the package event handlers as well as prevent each task from bubbling up to the main package event handlers. I've tried setting the Propagate variable for each of the event handlers to False and setting the DisableEventHandlers property of each task to True but neither solution seems to work. Is there a way to do this that I'm missing You have to set [System::Propogate]=false in the eenthandler of the task for which you don't want ev ...Show All
