• Visual Basic MyWebClient2.DownloadFileAsync(address, fileName) and Windows Media Player

  My first post... go easy on me guys.... Thanks. I found what I think might be undocumented issue with these two together. I am creating a custom media player with Windows Media Player as the core. The application also has a pop out side panel which has a webbrowser on it and a ListView. From the ListView you can CHECK a few videoclips to download and pass them to the downloader which uses Dim address As New Uri( "http://www.mywebsite.com/myvideos/shortclips/" & DownloadThis) Dim fileName As String = "MyVideoDownload/" & DownloadThis MyWebClient2.DownloadFileAsync(address, fileName) This works just great for ever file in the list.... ** Now here comes the issue. ...Show All

• SQL Server Updates too ineffiecient to call from C#

  I'm trying to analyze a 2-Table Select Statement and compare to variables. if x > y then do math and run an update command if y > x then do other math and run update command It's very slow.. about 1 record a second. I haven't used store procs yet, but from what I understand, should increase performance. However, I'm having a difficult time tracking down any examples of this simple procedure as a SPROC. I could try using Managed Code in SQL 2005 and writing the sproc in C#.. but that has a learning curve all it's own. Can someone either point me to a SPROC Tutorial online, or outline the basics for the above function above.. it's too late to go to Borders and the Library didn't have any SQL books not chec ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Security token without authentication

  Hello, I would like to know if it is possible for the user to use a managed card (get a security token) without requiring the user to authenticate himself Thanks for your help, Dear Caleb, Thank you for your answer. Cardspace supports a few authentication methods only, and you can see that in other threads of this forum, some of us are asking how we can implement another authentication method. Getting a managed card and its attributes without authentication could allow the RP to process the authentication method it wants. I mean that the managed card could contain information about how the RP should authenticate the user. I mean that the authentication could be done by something else than the STS, after the card's retrieval. The ca ...Show All

• SQL Server 2005 SP2 Install Failed, and Now SQL Server is Unusable.

  Hi, I have a problem with my SQL Server 2005 instance after trying to install SP2. My machine has a default instance of SQL server 2005, and 2 instances of SQL 2005 express. I installed Express SP2 and this installed without a hitch. Then I installed SP2 for SQL Server 2005. After the install, all the components had installed correctly except the Database Engine, which had a status of failed. I did not investigate why, I simply re-ran the install. It failed again, so I investigated further and I found out it failed because it had not been able to start the service VSS Writer. I looked at the service, and found I had changed the user which gives the service rights to start. I changed this back to Local System so the service c ...Show All

• Visual Basic filesystemwatcher event, wait for file to be filled with data, do until loop

  I am using filesystemwatcher to monitor a directory for files. Once a new file is created, my program converts the binary file to ascii and does some computations on the ascii file. What is happening is that the binary file is created but has a file size of 0 bytes for a while until it is filled by the sensor (that time will vary). I tried to put the following code into my eventhandler (a do until loop) for it to delay a little bit (until the file size is greater than 300 bytes), but it never fires. It is capturing the new file creation event, I just apparently can't update the length variable (sFilelength)...and the file is 356 bytes. My code is below, any help is appreciated: Dim inputarg As String = e.FullPath 'this is the name ...Show All

• Windows Forms Display message queues-Slow performance

  Hi all, I had created a viewer to shows all the messages in my private queue. Inside the private queue, it has 200000 messages. This huge amount of messages had causes my application was hanged and couldn't close the application. Does anyone met this performance problem Thanks for any reply. I had tried to use the datagridview and used the virtual mode but when i call the MessageQueue GetAllMessages() method to get all the message in queue then the performance is already very slow. After get all the messages, it will have a for loop to bind data to the daagridview. This 200000 times looping has caused the very slow performance too. ...Show All
