• .NET Development Reading XMLWriter with XMLReader

  Hiya everyone, Quick query for you: I have the following code generating an XML file. ' Write XML data. writer.WriteStartElement( "university" ) writer.WriteAttributeString( "name" , txtName.Text) writer.WriteElementString( "address" , txtAddress.Text) writer.WriteEndElement() writer.Flush() writer.Close() Which gives an output like the following: < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > <university name="Swinburne">  <address>http://allocate.swin.edu.au/aplus/apstudent</address> </university> It would follow then (to me) that you would read this document back in as follows: ' Read XML data. reader.ReadStartElement( "university" ) tempName = reader.GetAttribute( "name" ) tempA ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Minimizing and Maximizing

  I have my application set to use the full screen. If I hit alt tab, go into another app, then alt+tab back into my game, it's solid gray, and then locks up. I wrote some simple code to check the keyboard state, and close the app if I hit escape, but that doesn't even work. I just assumed that this would all be handled for me, out of the box... Do I have to write anything myself to fix this Yeah, I am not at home at the moment, but I will show my code, it's pretty simple... I'm only drawing a few sprites onto the screen. ...Show All

• .NET Development simple xml parsing - need help

  Guys, fixed the problem...please ignore the post thanks Reader.Value will not return you the right element content. Value always returns an empty string if called on the element nodes.

• Smart Device Development How to update SQL Server Mobile database from DataSet object

• SQL Server Activation not working

  Hi There Everything works 100% until i activate my sp. I specify to execute as 'dbo' in the alter queue statement. I also define the activated sp to execute as 'dbo'. But i keep getting permission errors from my activated sp. i have tried to excute as 'sa' , i have even tried to write a job that excutes to stored procedure but it also get weird errors. Bottom line if i exceute the sp in management studio logged in as sa it works , but thorugh activation or a job nothing works, as 'dbo' or 'sa'. Thanx The safest option is code signing (as in the exaple in my link ). Getting code siging righ is really hard, so if you can get away with trustworthy bit, is much more easier. sysadmin is no ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Capturing microphone in Managed DirectX 10 (2.0.0.0)

  Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has been able to record microphone input with managed directx 10 (i'm using c# but any language will help!). Previously it was done in DirectSound, using a CaptureBuffer and an elusive "Read()" function (now missing in 2.0.0.0). I have read a number of times that DirectSound is to be replaced by Xact but it's strange that everything I need to record sounds is available except this Read() function.. So my question is, is this now done through Xact or still through CaptureBuffer but without the use of Read(). If it's done via Xact, does anyone have any good tutorials on recording through Xact (i have searched, but haven't found anything at all yet) If it's done via the CaptureBuffer still, does an ...Show All

• Windows Forms OTP: windows login

  Hello, is there any other means of authentication for the windows login... like inserting a compact flash or flopy. i am looking for a hardware input solution to windows login authentication. This forum is for questions on programming windows Forms. Hardware based questions are off topic. However, a Microsoft finger print reader can be used to log in, so long as your PC does not participate in a network ( which tells you how secure they are ).

• Visual C# video component

  I am doing a windows form application in C# and I am searching for a FREE component in which you can play, pause, stop the video AND manipulate the video input, and produce a video output. I want to be able to control/change any pixel in each frame of the video. Can you tell me where to search for such a component or point me to one The video is already in raw YUV format, but it would be nice if you the component can convert the video format (this is not primary). To understand better, I need something like the System.Drawing.Graphics class, in which you can manipulate the pixels, but I need it for each frame in a video. Maybe an alternative is to use the Graphics class and just to convert each frame in a video to a Graphics obj ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Retrieving attached template in a Word Template project

  Hi, I have a created a VSTO Word Template Project using a template "WordTemplate.dot". I will be creating several (9-12) .dot templates which will have very similar functionality so I have decided to use a single code-behind assembly and attach it to each .dot template at deploy time (by adding customization via ServerDocument) rather than creating a separate VSTO Word Template project for each template. However, in my code-behind I need to determine what the currently attached template is so that I can display the appropriate form. I have tried using the this.AttachedTemplate property but it returns a Template object for "Normal.dot" rather than for "WordTemplate.dot". I have also tried iterating through the ...Show All

• .NET Development converting output from transformNode to byte array

  Hello, Can someone tell me why solution 1 works, but solution 2 does NOT work; it results in truncated data. There has to be an easier way than soution 1. The goal is to get the string output from transformNode into a byte array. Thanks.
