• Audio and Video Development js file not Big Endian

  I wrote some javascript to test out in the iHD simulator. When I try to play the content I get the error: "Script is not Big Endian" I haven't heard a reference to big endian storage since my mainframe days. Do I need to convert my javascript to big endian And if so how do I do that on an XP box Bad Analog wrote: Per the HD DVD spec, all JavaScript files must be UTF-16, Big Endian (with BOM). XML files can be UTF-8 or UTF-16 and should include which encoding they're using in the XML header. Right. I usually use Notepad to convert one encoding format to others. ...Show All

  I have an application and i want to place an background image to my console application. The image that i want make background image is in the Resources file. Does anybody know how i can do that pls help .... You are utterly going about it the wrong way. I strongly recommend you read a few game programming tutorials, either for DirectX or XNA. There is no way , as Hans has said, to do what you want to do in the console window. It wasn't even built for that. Windows Forms isn't well-suited for such a game either. ...Show All

Useing GET isn't an option since this is for a login, but maybe we need to do as you suggests, using a form "proxy". Google is doing this. It would be nice if somebody from Microsoft could answer if not being able to do a POST is by design or if this is a bug that will be fixed :) Also, if one of you gurus could tell me how to do a post using the InternetExplorer.Application object I would be very happy. ../Per ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook: MAPI fields versus User Properties

  Hi, I want to improve an outlook addin which is using mapi fields (a lot) and this is generating abnormal behaviors in outlook, so now I'm in doubt to quit all use of mapi fields fo User Properties but I need some recomendatios or comments about using "mapi fields vs user properties" (or viceversa). Thanks, Mauricio. .NET languages have no support for accessing MAPI properties in versions prior to Outlook 2007. Therefore, the UserProperties collection would be the supported approach. What kind of behaviors are you seeing as abnormal ...Show All
