• Smart Device Development visual studio 2005 and platform builder ????

  Hi All, I am fairly new to Platform Builder. I have built an OS using platform builder to support the .NET compact framework version 2.0. When trying to run the OS image, the only deive that I could select that resembles my device is the wince 5.0 device. However when trying to attach a device, it gives me an error message, indicating that the devices virtual memory needs to be increased. I assume that this is a deployment error and that if I could reolve the problem listed below, then this may solve the virtual memory conflict. I am also trying to synchronise Platform Builder with Visual Studio 2005. The problem here is, the active target device drop down box in platform builder has different devices from those listed in visual stud ...Show All

  When inserting a boolean field in my DB, I get the following error msg.: Data type mismatch in criteria expression. The field is declared as Yes/No and its format property is set to True/False in my Access DB. I've seen this error msg. before with a date/time field and resolved by substituting single quotes (') with hash (#) characters. Now, what do I use for boolean fields, or is there another way for me to get around this See my code below.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Get program's file name

  In Visual Basic 2005, is it possible to get the file name of my program I found I can get the directory the program is in through My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath.

Basically, my program installs itself, but if the program does not know its own filename, how can it copy itself to the installation directory Thanks.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Modified CTextureRenderer freezes System when used with multiple Threads

  Greetings everybody, My App needs to copy the content of a IMediaSample-Videoframe to several Direct3D-Textures. I do this via Texturelock and memcpy, which works quite nice. I've done it successfully sequential with 4 memcpys and now want to do it iwth multiple Threads for better performance. The Problem is that my whole Systems freezes after an arbitrary time of Playback and I have to do a hard restart. My Textureloader-Threads are build like this: do { WaitForSingleObject(pThis->m_hTLA_Go[index],INFINITE); -> Lock texture memcpy(pTxtBuffer,pThis->m_Samples[index],pThis->m_textureWidth*pThis->m_textureHeight*4); -> Unlock the Texture ReleaseSemaphore(pThis->m_hTLA_Done[index],1,&pre); } ...Show All

  I need to fire an event AFTER a form has finished loading and is displayed to the user. Currently, I'm initializing my MapPoint control on my form in the form_load event.
