• Visual Basic VisualBasic... missing reference

  Hi, I recently converted my program to run under .NET Framework V2. However, a small number of users are having problems getting it to run. They are getting an error which says "Microsoft.VisualBasic .....system.io.filenotfoundexception". All of the users having problems have recently installed (ie within the last 2-3 weeks) V2 of the NET Framework. The vast majority who have experienced no problems have had V2 installed for some time now. Can anyone shed some light on this please. Thanks in advance for your help.

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Support for Streaming Servers ?

  I am currently trying to find out if support for any streaming architecture has been implemented in the FEB2007 release; ideally the Windows Media Server WMS architecture. I would like to be able to access streaming content under any of streaming protocols ideally rtsp:// or mms://. Our architecture is setup on WMS and I am typically working with 45-90 minute recordings. Due to the limited support for WMP on Mac OS X as well as compatibility issues with the latest Intel based macs, I am very eager to be able to replace the embeded WMP with a WPF/E based player, however I need the ability to seek to random points in a file. Also in looking at the docs, WPF/E is said to support WM9, I was wondering if it will be suporting all WM9 codecs ( ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Getting a specific record number?

  OK, I've been out of the development world for a while. Coming back into it my C# is a little rusty. Add new features of C# and I can feel a little lost at times. I currently have LINQ Setup and running nicely on a project I'm developing. However, I am clueless as to how I select a specific record number in an IEnumerable object. Say I have the LINQ generated class Addresses which consists of many Address objects. I basically want to say give me Address #4 in the Addresses. How do I do this There are all these genericized functions and I just can't figure out how to do that. I've figured out the First<> to select a specific record, but can't figure out how to do this. Thankss! Matt- Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual C++ TCHAR vs _TCHAR

  For the life of me, I can't figure out how to deal with strings in Visual C++. What is the difference between TCHAR and _TCHAR The built-in help is very confusing. Thank you. TCHAR is defined as wchar_t in a Unicode build, but as char in a non Unicode build.  So if you're not using Unicode (i.e. don't have _UNICODE defined in the project's preprocessor settings), then you can simply pass in the TCHAR str[256] to a function that expects a char * , otherwise you will have to convert the string from Unicode to non-Unicode using wcstombs function. ...Show All

• Gadgets Flyout to the front?

  I have a gadget that navigates through a set of XML documents via next/previous buttons. Some of these documents link to a first page with windows media player attached to play an associated video, while some link to a second page which doesn't contain a video. You can navigate backwards and forwards through these pages of the first type, without trouble, but when you click on a link which jumps to the second page, from the first, then you lose the "focus" (I say focus warily, because I realise that actually losing focus would mean that the flyout would close, which it doesn't). What happens is that the sidebar gadget has the focus, and you have to click on the flyout twice (the first time regains focus, &n ...Show All
