• Visual C# Hittest on polygon

  Hi, Is it possible to do a hittest with a polygon If yes, what should the code look like. Grtz, Annihil8 So I've figured it out how to check on a polygon. first you create a GraphicsPath GraphicsPath _path = new GraphicsPath (); _path.Reset();//do not forget!!! _path.AddPolygon(ArrPoint); //you add to polygonPoint Array to it. If you want to check the hittest simply use if (_path.IsVisible(e.X, e.Y)) { MessageBox .Show( "In polygon" ); } ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Writing only selected frames in AVI?

  Greetings, I'm trying to pass to file writer filter only selected frames from a stream. I have written a transform-in-place filter that passes through only those frames that I need, but file writer writes the same frame several times (instead of writing it only once and waiting for the new frame to arrive). How can I invalidate frame once it has been written so that it won't be written again Thank you in advance, Murom Hi Michel, I have tried to specify AvgTimePerFrame in my GetMediaType() (I have a transform-in-place filter), but for some reason GetMediaType() is not being called at all... How could that be I thought that in the process of negotiations this must be called for sure. Please - any ideas ... Mur ...Show All

  I have packed my gadget files in a zip file. I then changed the name to *.gadget. The icon changed to a gadget icon and double-clicking it installs it.

• .NET Development DataSet Merge

  I wish to merge two datasets. However while merging i want to ensure that the merged data does not overwrite the dataset already existing even though the table has primary key constraint placed. Is this possible. Thanks Hi, The Merge method is used to merge two DataSet objects that have largely similar schemas . A merge is typically used on a client application to incorporate the latest changes from a data source into an existing DataSet. This allows the client application to have a refreshed DataSet with the latest data from the data source. The following example creates a simple DataSet with one table, two columns, and ten rows. A second DataTable is created that is identical to the first. Two rows are added to the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio - VB 6.0 DHTML Designer Doesn't Work

  Please excuse me if this is an incorrect forum to be asking this question in but I cannot find any other forum which enables me to post this issue. I have both vb6.0 and VB.net. My Safety Net is VB6.0 until I come up to speed on .NET. My problem is that the DHTML Page Designer capability in VB Studio 6.0 - VB 6.0 has gone astray and I can no longer add elements to the Page Designer. Actually, on older computers which have not undergone the numerous XP fixes/updates I can add the HTML elements, but all of my XP systems that are religiously kept up-to-date cannot. It appears XP upgrades have minimized VB 6.0's capabilities! Does anyone know of a workaround or how to get this fixed Additional comment is that any page designer p ...Show All

• SQL Server FTP Task - Delete remote files always fails

  Hello, I have two FTP Tasks configured in my SSIS package. One is for "Receive files" and the other is set for "Delete remote files." Both use variables for the source/destination paths. My remote path variable contains a wild card in the name field such as /usr/this/is/my/path/*.ext and it is working to FTP all the .ext files to my working directory. I then rename the files and want to remove the original files from the FTP server. I use the same variable as the remote path variable in the delete as I do in the receive. Using the same FTP connection manager for both tasks I am always getting a failure on the delete. The FTP connection manger is setup to use the root user. Using a terminal I am able to open an ...Show All

• .NET Development How do I compile a Web Service

  Please excuse my ignorance but I'm having some difficulty understanding the whole setup regarding Web Services in Visual Studio .net 2005. I have created a VS web site and used the Web Service template to create a Web Service. Everything works fine locally but now I want to move it to my production server. Everything I read says I have to compile the Web Service to a DLL. There seems to be no way of doing this from the Web Service Web Project. Am I missing something How do I compile a Web Service into a DLL Regards Ok, so there might be some misconfiguration on the server. It should make you feel good, that security is in the way to expose too much information about the server. Do you have ...Show All

• SQL Server indexing architechture

  OK: 1. after rebuilding indexes, shouldn't sp_updatestats and DBCC UPDATEUSAGE be run for best performance 2. What exactly are sp_updatestats and update usage doing It looks like (from BOL) that updating usage would be updating the IAM and the page free space, and updating stats would just update the index/row pointers. Indexes are rebuilt nightly where I am currently working, however, unallocated space is consistently negative. 3. rebuilding or defragging the indexes should defrag the tables, right As in, re-allocate free space depending on fillfactor... 4. for a reporting database, shouldn't the fillfactor be low That way, you would have fewer page splits during loading, and as far as querying, by the time you are done wit ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Picturebox.BackColor problem

  Hi, I need to display a picture/image in a picturebox and set pictureBox1.BackColor property to the same color as my Form BackColor but during runtime, the pictureBox displays my image with white background, not the color I set before. How could this happen Is there any bug like what happend to Label control If the image is squarish, the workaround is at least simple : just resize the pictureBox to fit image. But here the image is so abstract, I can't resize the pictureBox without showing the "not transparent" background during runtime. Anyone out there knows how to work around with this problem Thanks.
