• Visual Studio Express Editions run music in VB form

  Hi all i want to run wav audio file in my form how can i do this which refrence should i use and what the code should i write thanks alot you can use System.Media namespace to access the SoundPlayer class and play it via that: Dim thePlayer as new System.Media.SoundPlayer(" fileName.wav ") thePlayer.Play() http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.media.soundplayer.aspx you can also use DirectX to play audio files (and plays for longer lengths than SoundPlayer class, as it will only play files up to 3-5 seconds I believe) or embed WMP in your application and play audio files via the COM Component ...Show All

• Visual Basic Dynamic drawings in VB.Net

  Hi, Is there any VB.Net equivalent to the vbXorPen and vbNotXorPen options of the DrawMode property in VB6 These options were very usefull to create dynamic drawings. Thanks by advance, Pierre I think the only option is to use GDI Calls if you wish to use those functions (wrappered by the graphics object GetHdc and ReleaseHdc methods). There doesn't seem tto be the ability to do what you want directly. However, the new drawing techniques available don't really require the old VB6 methods (drawing 'rubber bands' and such). ...Show All

• Visual C# A questions with appsetting

  Is there a way to use my own classes as an application setting I could turn it into a dll but I would prefer to not do it like that... any suggestions or if theres no simple solution is there a way to have an array of ints I went through the list of types but I couldn't find any arrays... JT I have a class that manages a lot of information which is dynamic and I don't want to be updating these in the application settings all the time so if I manage them all in one class it makes life easier, a couple less lines per item... it also makes it easier to pass it along to my forms so I want to put the before mentioned class in the config file but I've only figured out how to do it with a dll... so I was looking ...Show All

• Visual Basic Property dependent databinding - beginner ?

  Hi, I am an absolute beginner using VB Express, attempting to use the information I have gleaned from videos. I want to databind a series of combo boxes (7), each retrieving info from a different table, but the info gathered for each combo box relies on the option choice of the previous combo box. Primitive Eg... The first box might offer choices of food groups (meat, dairy, fruit, pasta), the second offer options for each of these (meat - veal, lamb; dairy - milk, yogurt; fruit - apple, orange), the third options depending on this choice (meat/veal - fried,stewed etc). I hope I have explained it well enough. The data displayed in each combo box would depend on the choice of the previous. I can databind the data for each combo box from its ...Show All

• SQL Server MSSQL Express 2005 performance so inconsistent!

  Hi, just wondering if anyone noticed the MSSQL Express 2005 is so inconsistent with its performance. I was testing out a query with 2 joins, with the main table having about 13,600,000 records. With the same criteria value, sometimes it finished executing in 3 secs. sometimes almost a 1 min. Could it be just the volume of the data This is really driving me crazy! Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Rick.. Hi, I took home the database and loaded it up in my machine this weekend. I think the inconsistency I as experiencing at work has something to do with my machine setup. In the office, my PC has WinXP 64 Pro. At home I have just the plain WinXP Pro. Running the same scripts/SP at home were m ...Show All
