• Audio and Video Development Mixing rate sink and rateless sink on a tee node

  I modified the WavSinkSample and inserted a tee node so I could also add an Audio Renderer output node. When I do this, the topology starts playing just fine. But it ends as soon as the WavSink finishes writing the wave file. Is this the intended behavior I would have expected the topology to stop when all output nodes are done processing samples. I tried a bunch of workarounds: - Changing the order in which I connect the nodes. - Set MF_TOPONODE_RATELESS to 0 on the WavSink output node. - Set MF_TOPONODE_PRIMARYOUTPUT to 0 (index of the audio renderer) on the tee node. - Set MF_TOPONODE_DISCARDABLE on the tee node for all secondary node. But none of these worked. Is there any ways to accomplish when I want or is this a bug Also, I tri ...Show All

• Visual Studio Localizing Crystal Reports toolbar/export/print dialogs

  Hi, Looking at the feature in XI it is clear that Crystal Reports XI now supports localization of the viewer (toolbar/export popup/print popup) http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/product_guides/boexi/en/crxi_WhatsNew_en.pdf I am using VS.NET 2005, CR XI, .NET 2.0 I have been unable to get CR to localize the toolbar/export popup/print popup.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DoubleClick on FrameworkElement

  Hi, all. Is there any way to discover legacy doubleclick event on objects inherited from UIComponent or FrameworkElement, rather then from Control or I have to implement it myself Actually this code only exposes DoubleClick event, but not implements it. If you'll doubleclick this control nothing wil happen. No event will be fired. You should implement it yourself with f.e. protected override void OnMouseLeftButtonDown . One of simpelest ways to do it by adding something like this inside it if ((( TimeSpan )( DateTime .Now - currentTimer)).TotalMilliseconds <= System.Windows.Forms. SystemInformation .DoubleClickTime) { OnPreviewDoubleClick(); OnDoubleClick(); } else { currentTimer = DateT ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What is the recommended action for when a debug Asssert window from the dev code appears?

  While testing today, a debug assert window from the dev code appeared. I clicked ignore for six windows and my test completed. If I had not been present, the test would not have completed. What is the recommended procedure for handling this Usually Debug Asserts guard error/unexpected cases in code help find problems quicker because they point exactly at the place when something goes wrong, not some time later. Hitting an assert usually indicates to a bug. You will see asserts only in debug builds. If you hit an assert, I would recommend to talk to the developer whose code the Assert fires from. You may also need to get symbols (PDBs) and source code, if available, hit Retry in assert window and ...Show All

• SQL Server Alerts and Jobs for transaction log processing

  Scenario: I have an alert defined which monitors the transaction log. It should start a job which should backup the transaction log once the log is 75 percent full. So far so good. The challenge is to give the database name to the command for backing up (in our case it is a external tool) the appropriate transaction log I know, that you can use tokens (A-DBN) to do this. I know, that there is a bug in this area, so tokens are not set correctly in SP1 Question: Is there any trick/alternative to create a workaround Regards Norbert ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista Install Problems

  Hi, I installed and used the first 64 bit beta without issue but the other day I got an email to download a second RC1 beta. Again I download the 64 bit version. This time I get an install crash nearing the last reboot and I have to start the install from scratch again. I've re ran the install 2 or 3 times and I keep getting this crash. I have been installing vista on a spare drive so if you want me to post a log/dump file no problem. As it is I have resigned to the fact that I cannot trial RC1. im afraid these are the incorrect forums for your question. These forums are for software development. Therefore, I have to advice you to repost your question to the appropriate communities: www.microsoft.com/communities Thanks ...Show All

• SQL Server Logging Data Flow Steps in SSIS Package

  Hello. I am using the "SSIS Log Provider for SQL Server" to log events to a table for "OnError" and "OnPostExecute" events of a package. This works as expected and provides a nice clean output on the execution steps of the package. I am curious as to why I do not see any detail for any/all tasks that fall under the "Data Flow" section of the package though. For instance, on my "Control Flow" tab, I added a "Data Flow" task that simply loads a few tables from a target to destination server. However, there is nothing shown in the logging output. Just that a Data Flow task was initiated. And when I'm configuring this logging under "SSIS-->Logging" in the checkbox a ...Show All
