• Visual Studio Express Editions [VB.Net] Windows media player dousn't stretch visualisation

  Hi, I've embedded the Windows Media Player. When I load a audio file from a other form(by: wmp.URL = audiofile), the visualisatien shows in a almost square and not 16:9 as the mediaplayer screen is sized. If I load the audio file from the same form as the mediaplayer is on, it works fine and stretches over the whole 16:9 sreen. It's a MDI and non of them are the main form. What can be the issue here ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Asynchronous Calls

  hello fellow programmers, i was just having some problems on how to make an asynchronous call. well, can someone show me a very simple program thats uses asynchronous calls thanks in advance! I don't really consider delegates to be asynchonous in the sense I'm talking about. Yes, a timer event is asynchonous but what I'm really talking about is asynchronous I/O. Delegates are about multithreading, another aspect of asynch, but they are not true asynch communications. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XAP Importer

  Hi, I'm loading files from a windows form test application and I want to load XACT audio assets, but my idea was to ask the user only for the xap project filename, generate the files into a folder in run time and then simply load all the generated data according to the extensions. I've been doing MSBuilds for other standard importers, but I just can't find the names for the importer and the processor. My documentation shows N/A when it comes to XACT projects. Any idea    Thanks! The XACT build process is a bit different to other kinds of content, because we had to sit on top of how the standard XACT tools work, rather than building it fro ...Show All

• Visual Basic Display HTML in form.

• SQL Server is there a way to attach remote files when send email with database mail? thanks

  . two things : I use this SP to send out email execute msdb..sp_send_dbmail @profile_name='ablesys',@recipients=@to,@subject=@subject,@body=@body,@body_format=@body_format,@file_attachments=@file_attachments in the @file_attachments, I should list out all attached files, separete them with semicolon. first problem is it can not accept remote file, for example, this will work - "c:\test.pdf", but this will not - \\machine2\c$\test.pdf second problem is I can not set attached file name which is different from the real file name, when I send out a bunch of emails, I will create their attachment files in a folder, for example, I need send two emails to two people, both email need a att ...Show All

• Visual Basic DB Timing Issue (I think)

  I'm not sure which forum this belongs in, so I'll start here. I write a record to an Access DB and shortly thereafter try to read it back. No record is returned. I break @ the re-read and check Access with its IDE. No record shows. I refresh in Access and still no record. If I let the process run to termination (ie, back to the screen) and then attempt the re-read, the record is there (both in the application and the Access IDE). I seem to recall there is a 'flush' type process that can be called to write dirty buffers, but I can remember what it's called (or really if it exists or is just my Old Memorex Memory). Any ideas (Please don't ask for code -- its about 1000 lines . Roger Hi, It is very difficult to help w ...Show All

• Windows Forms Getting the xp styles to work on windows 2000

  Hi Is it posibble to somehow getting the windows xp control styles (buttons tabcontrol etc.) implemented in windows 2000 I dont know if you can do something in the compilation so that the controls are compiled also. My program is made in vb2005 with a ot of the xp styles, and it looks really crappy in windows 2000. It's not easy to sell if every buyer has to upgrade to windows xp when they still have to pay full price even if they have a full windows 2000 license.. I myself is not a fan of windows 2000, but some of my potential buyers only have windows 2000, because it is expencive to change OS. im not entirely sure since I don't do much GUI development but a guess would be to override some pai ...Show All

• SQL Server Replicating Stored Procedure permissions issue

  I'm having a problem replicating stored procedure permssions accross two sql server 2005 servers, using transactional replication. When I replicate tables, it's easy enough to send the permissions over from the subscriber since there is an option under the articles properties for "Copy permissions." I can't seem to find any such option for SPs, UDFs or views. Am I missing something So the other idea I had was to create a script to grant the proper permissions, and run it using sp_addexecscript to my publication. Currently I have two one-way transactional publications. One publication for all my tables, and another for SPs, UDFs and views. I can run sp_addexecscript on the publication containing all my tables with out a problem, ...Show All
