• Visual Basic Print Coordinates Problem

  I am a VB.Net programmer and I have dealt with numerous errors and coding issues but this problem has got me officialy stumped! I am currently writing a program that involves some printing functions. As you know, the default margins for a 8.5 x 11 page is 100 pixels from the edge of the paper. When you click Print Preview the text looks exactly like it should but when you click Print the entire text is offset to the right by at least 50 pixels. Keep in mind that the print and print preview is generated by the same code. While writing this program, I encountered this problem in the early stages and offset the margins to the left by about 50 pixels. It made the print preview look ugly but the paper looked satisfactory. I am now having to fac ...Show All

• Visual C++ Serial Communication at 230400 baud rate

  I am creating a DLL for serial communication using VC6.0. I can achieve communication with baud rates up to 115200 using the CBR_115200 constant in WINBASE.h. I need 230400 but it does not exist and MSDN does not support 230400, it jumps from 115200 to 256000. I have tried adding CBR_230400 to WINBASE.h with no success, can any provide any information for using Microsoft's serial functions (DCB) with 230400 baud rate have tried CBR_256000 with device set to its max of 230400 -- didn't work. Max baud rate on serial device is 230400, so 256000 didn't work. Why would Microsoft design Hyperterminal with 230400 and WINBASE.h without it pelase help.

• SQL Server Capture date and timestamp of a file?

  Hi, I am pulling files from the FTP site using the FTP task. I want to also capture the date and timestamp of each of these files so that I can insert the values into a database and track when are these files get created normally on the FTP server. Any ideas Thanks in advance for your help. $wapnil Thanks. I am using a ForEach loop container which iterates through a list of file names to be downloaded.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office MSWord addin is not getting remove during uninstallation

  Problem Our MSWord Add-In adds a menu to MS-Word. On Un-installing, the menu doesnt get removed properly, and the Menu Options we added Persist. What's the proper way to remove the added menu-options during uninstallation Word add-ins by Adobe and others get added and removed properly--- and our add-ins for MS-PowerPoint also behave properly. Issue: When adding menu items to the Office apps, they are marked as temporary. In addition, on unload, the add-in attempts to delete the menu items it added. However, the menu items still persist in Word (tested both 2000 SR-1 and 2003 SP2.)

• Software Development for Windows Vista Building with Vista Platform SDK and Visual Studio 2005

  What is the intended "strategy" the Vista Platform SDK has for how projects designed under Visual Studio 2005 should be built in conjunction with the Platform SDK If it was supposed to be obvious from the documentation, I guess I'm still missing it. For a makefile-based project or sample, things still seem obvious and/or unchanged. Between SetEnv.cmd and Win32.mak a bunch of appropriate decisions regarding pre-processor definitions like WINVER and APPVER, default libraries, and the include and lib paths appropriate for the build mode that was selected, etc., are established. The VCIntegrate.exe "integration" seems to be nothing more than setting the include, lib and path directories via .config files updated unde ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista play video on 3D object

  Hi Is it possible or anyone has done it before.. to play a movie on 3D object like a sphere.. or something My idea is to ge each frame.. and set it as texture.. but that will strech the image.. and that not good .. anu ideas Thanks! In the DirectX 9.0 SDK under Samples\C++\DirectShow\Players\Texture3D9 is the sample for the cylinder example. It only uses a video as a texture mapped to a cylinder primative. The distortion filter I was referring to is something you can create in After effect using the persepective adjustment. You could also create your own as a filter for directshow but that is left as an exercise for you :) ...Show All

• Visual C# Why can't an interface method be internal?

  When I try to make a method in an interface internal I get a compile error.  Why is this   Thanks in advance, Per Rasmussen. I realize that I have the possibility to make the entire interface internal. But that does not change the fact that I cannot make the method internal. Consider this example: internal interface ImyInterface { void f1(); } class MyClass : ImyInterface { public void f1(); } In this example it is impossible for me to declare the function f1 internal (because this will result in my class not implementing the interface). Is it in any way possible for me to make the function internal If not, why not ...Show All
