• .NET Development Directx Audio

  I programmed midi files to work in my program under the 32-bit environment, using: Imports Microsoft.DirectX Imports Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback My problem is it doesn't work on my friends 64-bit computer. We've localized the problem to the sound, because without it, it works properly. Does DirectX not support 64-bit Do I need to reference other things If so, the code would still be the same right Or should I just reference Windows Media Player or something I dunno what to do, but either way I'd like midi's working on both platforms. Thanks for any help provided! I am indeed building it in the x86 environment but DirectX failed to initialize on my friends 64-bit processor. He al ...Show All

• SQL Server How Do I Sort the objects in the Integrated Source Safe

  I manage a team of developers and we are using SQL Server Management Studio v9.00.2047.00 I have created a Solution and we've been adding stored procedures and are using Source Safe integration as well. We have discovered that the objects (stored procedure in this case) are not sorted by name when you pull up the solution explorer. This is unacceptable when you have over a hundred stored procedures and you need to find one quickly to edit and check back in. Is there some configuration I don't know about (undocumented or what have you) to enable the objects to be sorted by default I truly appreciate any help. We may have to abandon our approach because of the frustration factor. Bret Williams Unfortunately I'm still havi ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Windows Live ID SDK, seriously

  Does it exist Is the team still working on it Is there any news at all For something that seems critical to the MS Live ecosystem being adopted by developers, it sure seems like its been all but abandoned. According to earlier statements, the SDK should either have been released by now /or/ be released in the next few weeks. What's going on For those interested, the Windows Live Id SDK is momentarly in Alpha stage and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Connect web site: Windows Live ID Client 1.0 SDK Alpha Release ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 refuses to use Try-Catch block

  I have a section of code surrounded by a Try-Catch block and the catch is just for a System.Exception, so it should catch everything + the kitchen sink, however, Visual Studio is still breaking into the code at the line causing the problem and showing me the dialog box I have the checkboxes cleared on the Exceptions list so it should not break on CLR exceptions, Native Exceptions, etc, yet it breaks in and shows me an argument exception at the line causing the problem I don't have a funky machine.config or app.config file either that has anything in it that would affect the behavior of the debugger. Why does visual studio refuse to go to the catch block In regards to the Debug -> Exceptions dialog, no, no exceptions a ...Show All

• Visual Basic prevent tabpage from changing while input is validated

  Greetings: I've got a tabControl with several pages, and the first page presents a summary of the stuff on the other pages. It is set up so that the user input on the back pages is validated on the textbox leave event. A problem occurs when the user goes from entering some invalid text in one of the back page text boxes directly to selecting another tabpage. The validation error messages get shown along with the summary page error messages, and it is not a pretty sight. I tried using a boolean flag in the tabcontrol.selectionChanged event to try to stop the selection change, but that doesn't work. I'm guessing that the selection change event gets fired before the textbox leave event. I've also tried using boolean flags to stop the ...Show All

• SQL Server Subscript font style in a text box?

  Seems like a long shot, but I'd really like to show "CO2" (chemical formula for carbon dioxide) with the "2" as a subscript, in a report text box. The "CO2" would be embedded as part of a sentence, e.g. "The CO2 emissions..." Is there any way to do this Eva Pierce Monsen I have good news and bad news. The good news is that yes this is very possible. A subscript "2" can be represented using unicode. You can have an expression to convert the "2" character to the subscript "2" character. The expression would look like this: =Fields!FieldName.Value.ToString.Replace("CO2", "CO" & ChrW(8322)) The key part of ...Show All

• Visual C# Partial class inheriting from another partial class?

  Okay, lets suppose I have three pages - customsearch.aspx This is my main ASP.NET page. Lets suppose it has an asp:Literal called 'warningMsg' - searchtemplate.aspx.cs This is a 'base' class which defines some functionality and methods I want in all 'search' pages. It extends the 'Page' class, obviously. - customsearch.aspx.cs This extends the 'SearchTemplate' class, overriding a few selected methods and adding any custom ones I need. So first off, I do all of this using 1.1 style code behind: (only relevant code shown) - searchtemplate.aspx.cs [code] public class SearchTemplate : System.Web.UI.Page { public Literal warningMsg; //other controls here void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) { warningMsg.Text = "Page Load ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 Management studio slow to respond

  My company hosts a number of SQL 2005 servers and we run the SQL 2005 client tools from various locations also. We have noticed that some servers respond quickly when loading SQL 2005 management studio while others can be extremely slow, taking over a minute just to load up the console (even though the server is idle). After doing some investigating we made made the following discovery when monitoring a server (with some sysinternals tools) which was slow to load the Management studio. First we ran filemon and filtered sqlwb.exe and found when loading up the management studio there were consistent 15 second pauses of no activity. Since there is a 15 second TCP/IP retry delay when a target cannot be reached, we loaded up tcpview and reopen ...Show All
