• Smart Device Development How to know the IP@ the emulator gets via DHCP

  Hello On the emulator, i run a server application waiting for some requests sent via a client program located on the host PC. The application is launched at startup and get an IP address from the DHCP server. For some reasons, this IP is not always de same, and i need to know it in order to be able to send request from the client application. The emulator has no host name, and for some other reasons, i don't want to give it a name.

For some technical reasons, i cannot use activeSync. Maybe via Virtual Machine Network Services, but i cannot find anything connecte ...Show All

• SQL Server VERY large binary import/export headache

  Hi, I am currently importing (and exporting) binary flat files to and from Db fields using the TEXTPTR and UPDATETEXT (or READTEXT for export) functions. This allows me to fetch/send the data in manageable packet sizes without the need to load complete files into RAM first. Given that some files can be up to 1Gb in size I am keen to find out a new way of doing this since the announcement that TEXTPTR, READTEXT and UPDATETEXT are going to be removed from T-SQL. I had a quick foray into SSIS but couldn't find anything suitable which brings me back to T-SQL. If anyone knows a nice elegant way of doing this and is prepared to share, that would be grand. Thanks for your time, Paul TEXT is going away in favor of varchar(max) or varbinary( ...Show All

• SQL Server Difference between left outer join and right outer join

  Hello, What is the difference between left outer join and right outer join. Which one is better. I know the basic difference wherein for left outer join all rows of table in left are selected and compared whereas in case of right outer join all rows of table in right are selected and compared. But besides that what difference it has I am not aware of it. Also I am not sure which one is better over the other. Thank You Jatin There's no other difference. You just use one or the other depending on what order the tables are mentioned in the query and which one you want to be the "primary" table. ...Show All

• Visual C++ transparent Bufferedgraphics&UI

  Hi everyone! I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask about but If not so, can anyone redirect me to right place. Anyway here is my problem: I created a simple Windows Form which has a trasnparent background color, Let's say color1. This Form also contains a BufferedGraphics object (grafx). My aim is to make grafx has a transparent background, too. When I run my application it works fine(grafx and form both have transparent backgrounds), however when I clear grafx to draw something new, I lose the transparency of grafx. It becomes simply black even if I pick color1 as black. How can I reach transparency options of BufferedGraphics object if something like that exists if you have a solution for making grafx transparent without ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How do i implement this workflow ?

  Hi All, I am trying to make a simple workflow that has 4 parallel activities each getting input from different users (say it takes interger as it's input) and then adds the inputs (integer values). I was thinking of creating a custom activity that takes input from the user and run 4 instances of it parallely so i will get 4 different inputs and then at the end of the parallel activity i have a cusum activity that adds the 4 input. Is this the right approach. Do parallel activities end seperately and can't be merged into another activity Or if they could then in my case how do i send data from the parallel activities into the activity that does addition.

• Audio and Video Development Production Method for Released HD-DVDs

  I'm curious, have all the currently released HD-DVDs been produced using SACA (Sonic) If not then what are the other tools Yes, H264 is hard to decode. But I think the software and hardware (CPU and GPU) will be optimized, like MPEG2 with DVD Video 7 years ago (in 1998-1999 PowerDVD need CPU at 400MHz, but at last of 1999 WinDVD need only 300Mhz CPU). And it is hard to put a movie in HD DVD on DVD disc with VC1 codec. HD DVD format advantages are : - "iHD" technologie (from Microsoft, good work ;-) ) - TwinFormat (not Combo) : same side with one DVD layer and one HD DVD layer - HD DVD on DVD disc ( DVD Rom at 3X speed) For iHD, thank you at Microsoft for this forum and the help from its good developers.
