• Visual Studio Team System Data Compare against a blank db or project

  Why is it that I can do a schema comparison against my project but I can't do a data comparison against the same project (The option isn't even available in the data comparison wizard.) I could easily be missing something since I'm quite new to this. Thanks for any info or help on this. Sincerely, Steve Mayhugh GweiloMacau - We don't store any data inside the database project, so any comparison would always result in a big set of insert statements. Let me back up a moment and try to better understand the problem you're trying to solve here. How would you use the ability to compare your database to a project thanks, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to display data in Gray16 format?

  I've got some image data streaming in from hardware in 16-bit grayscale format and I need to display it on the UI as smoothly as possible. WriteableBitmap won't work with PixelFormats.Gray16 . Does anyone know the best way to get this data on the screen, bearing in mind I want to refresh it several times a second I'm currently keeping the data internally in a short[] and copying it (with a right-shift) into an 8bpp WriteableBitmap . I do the copy on a timer. With a 1024x1024 bitmap, setting the timer to fire every 100ms maxes out the CPU. I've tried various strategies to reduce the amount of copying and conversion going on, but nothing helps all that much. Interestingly, I notice (using reflector) that the guts of the WritePixels call is ...Show All

• Windows Forms Converting .Config files to .Deploy files using Mage.exe at command line

  How can i generate .deploy files using Mage.exe at commandline. I am facing problems with .Config files download at client systems, as IE do not allow to download .Config files for security reasons. If i do it manually, ie. using DOS ren command, it throws errors. Thanks. hi kcongdon, I think you are adding the .Deploy extension before running Mage command. You need to run the mage commands first, then add .Deploy extension to all the files you have except .manifest and .application files. Add the argument mapFileExtensions = "true" to the deployment tag in .application file. Sign the .application again and Finally, run the URL.   Regards Anwar Hussain   ...Show All

• .NET Development WMI Problem

  I've tried these two methods of accessing Win32_Account from WMI, from two separate PCs, each trying to access both itself and the other PC. In all cases the For Each loop does not execute as if the Instances collection is empty. Any attempt to inspect the Instances collection with a debugger hangs. I can run similar code in VB6 using objects and it works perfectly and lists accounts on each machine.

• Smart Device Development Pass sounds through the phone's modem over the cellular network (PPC Phone)

  Hi I have a question. Can I pass sounds through the cellular network via the phone's modem So for example I dial a TTY number (teletypewriter; used for the deaf and hard of hearing) and tap Send/press Enter to submit. From there, an application will dial the number over the network. Once I establish the connection to a network and caller answered the phone, the caller will start typing. Thus, an application's job is to receive sounds from the network and translates it back to text, so I can start typing. As I start typing, my application will translate text into sound and pass it through the network to the caller that I'm talking to. There is a TTY program called CallTTY, and it's used to interface with the sound card without a voice ...Show All
