• Smart Device Development JPG image loading and rotation on Pocket PC 2003

  I have developed an app on PocketPC 2003 using VS2005. This application interfaces with a camera and retrieves JPG images from the camera. The app displays the images as thumbnails and allows the user to click the thumbnail to get the full size picture in a scrollable window. This all works fine, however loading the JPG is slow and rotation (the way I am doing it blows out the memory, no leaks that I can find. Image size: 2048(w) X 1536(h)). I am using imgdecmp library to load the JPG image to a DDB bitmap, and implement rotation by converting the DDB to a source DIB, then creating a destination DIB with rotated dimensions, then copy the source DIB to the dest. DIB, one pixel line at a time (very time consuming). When I use the Pict ...Show All

• Visual Basic label size

  This issue is driving crazy. I have been using vb6 for a while, and I finally got me my hands on the vb.net. I am following a tutorial by MS to develop a basic application and a simple task cannot be completed for whatever reasons! HELP! The tutorial asks to drag the label object from the toolbox and drop in the tab control container. Then, go to the label size property and adjust the size to some different dimansion. Basic stuff, right It won't let me do it!!! After I enter the new dimensions (which by the way are not large or very small), the label size (both width and height) resets back to its original dimensions!! I have the vb.net sp1 installed. Does anyone have any ideas on this bizzare behaviour THank you. ...Show All

• .NET Development ArrayList.Add problem - values and references

  Hi, I'm having a problem with my code. I have an Array called moves of length four that contains ArrayLists, each of which I modify according to user input. Each time input is complete I want to save a copy of the moves so that I can go back and retrieve previous entries. In order to do this I have a separate ArrayList called history to which I add moves after input using history.Add(moves); In this fashion I can retrieve previous entired by accessing history(0) for the first set Array etc. Sadly each time I alter the contents of moves , all of the objects I have added to history are also changed, so I just end up with an ArrayList full of the current version of moves . I think this may be because ArrayList.Add() is pas ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with CurrentSettings.vssettings???

  Happy 4th to all, This Fourth of July holiday I am fortunate to be visited by grandson #5. I signed him on to my Guest account and began teaching him Visual Basic. Everything was going well for the first two days and then VB Express became unusable on the Guest user account. It still works on two other user accounts. I need your assistance to fix the problem on the Guest account. I am very hesitant to let him use VB on one of the working accounts. This is a description of the problem. When opening VB Express the splash screen is displayed. Before it closes a window with the title “Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition” opens and displays the following message: The automatically saved settings file “\\Setting ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MakeCert Error: Too many parameters

  Does anyone have any insight as to why I am getting the error: too many parameters when I am issuing the following makecert command I am using makecert from the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin. makecert –m 360 –n “CN=Demo Signing Certificate” –iv CJFTestRoot.pvk –ic CJFTestRoot.cer –cy end –pe –sv CJFsignedcert.pvk CJFsignedcert.cer The '-' character that is in the command line above is the character \u2013 (DASH-EN), and not the "minus" sign (\u002D).

• .NET Development Connecting to MS Sql Server 2005 with ODBC

  Hi there, I have just made a switch from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005 - that went without major problems... My server is located in Denmark. We have an office located in the US which are also connecting to our server - that goes without problems except for one machine connecting through ODBC directly (the others use remote desktop). The machine also connected through ODBC when I was using the old server - and there never seemed to be any problems. At first I could not see the machine by name, but I could ping it by ip-number. I added it to the hosts file - and now I can ping it by name as well. My problem is this: - When I try to correct the ODBC settings I do not get my new aerver on the sql-server list. D ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView - Position editing control?

  The rows in my data grid are taller than the default height. This means that the combo box is smaller than the height of the cell. When not in edit mode, the text is properly aligned to the middle of the cell; when the combo box becomes active, it moves to dock itself to the top of the cell. Is there any way I can control that behavior and force the combo box to center itself vertically in the cell Nope, no dice. It's like it just ignores it completely. It puts the TEXT there, when the cell isn't activated, but doesn't do a thing to the editing control. Thanks for the help though. ...Show All

• .NET Development DataSet problem

  Hi, I found some really interesting problem and I don't understand it. As you can see in the documentation, DataSet class is a descandant of the IListSource interface. This interface has the System.Collections. IList GetList() member. But if you try to compile this code: DataSet ds=new DataSet(); IList iL= ds.GetList(); you get this error: 'System.Data.DataSet' does not contain a definition for 'GetList' How can this be Hi, As Ilya shown above the IListSource interface can be accessed by casting the dataset to the interface. GetList is not available directly because the Dataset class implements IListSource explicitly. From msdn: A class that implements an interface can ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions need guidance

  hi, I have just started programming Windows. I have a background of programming C and Perl in Linux. I am absolutely new to Windows development. Now my new project (Networking, Multimedia included) need to be build in WinXP and with rich GUI design. So, I have chosen C# .NET as the platform. I am following Programming Windows with C# by Charles Petzold. Later I realised that using only Windows Forms, I might not be able to develop rich GUI and I have to learn and use basic Win API functions. So, please guide me in achieving the above. How should I start learning the basic API functions Suggest a book plz. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks, Gopi. Hi, " Programming Windows " is the most classic book on GUI Win32 p ...Show All
