• Visual Basic SQL Server Settings save

  Hi, I was wondering if someone could give me some guidance on saving your SQL server information so that next time you open your application you don't need to enter all the info again i.e. ServerName, Database, Username etc. I do want the user to set this up, so I don't want to hard code it in the application.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Use DirectInput to get absolute coordinates from a touchpad device

  Using DirectInput I was able to find a touchpad (mouse) and change the input mode from relative to absolute. dipdw.dwData = DIPROPAXISMODE_ABS; dipdw.diph.dwHow = DIPH_DEVICE; hr = g_pMouse->SetProperty( DIPROP_AXISMODE, &dipdw.diph); Input coordinates looks ugly, but I can handle it . I was not able to assign an input region to the mouse/touchpad. SetProperty returns an error 0x80070002 (The system cannot find the file specified). Probably you can help me to get this works. diprg.diph.dwHow = DIPH_BYOFFSET; diprg.diph.dwObj = DIMOUSE_XAXIS; // DIMOUSE_XAXISAB diprg.lMin = 0; diprg.lMax = 639; hr = g_pMouse->SetProperty( DIPROP_RANGE, &diprg.diph); if (!SUCCEEDED(hr ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Support for Streaming Servers ?

  I am currently trying to find out if support for any streaming architecture has been implemented in the FEB2007 release; ideally the Windows Media Server WMS architecture. I would like to be able to access streaming content under any of streaming protocols ideally rtsp:// or mms://. Our architecture is setup on WMS and I am typically working with 45-90 minute recordings. Due to the limited support for WMP on Mac OS X as well as compatibility issues with the latest Intel based macs, I am very eager to be able to replace the embeded WMP with a WPF/E based player, however I need the ability to seek to random points in a file. Also in looking at the docs, WPF/E is said to support WM9, I was wondering if it will be suporting all WM9 codecs ( ...Show All
