• Visual Basic !! HELP !! Extracting frames in a video and comparing them THANKS ALOT!

  Hi, I need help in my project here. my project mate did this in C++, which no one else in the grp knows and so i need some help if anyone knows how to convert it to VB, if possible. The program is supposed to pick up a unattended object (like a bomb) and send an alarm (to like SMS or a PC). so it works like that. (what i understand he said, & seeing the C++ code). capture a background start capturing video average frames (eg. 10), so small movement is not picked up (think so) if pixels are the same for too long ( xx frames) - something isn't moving then send alarm he used C++ and open CV http://www.intel.com/technology/computing/opencv/ , http://www.cs.iit.edu/~agam/cs512/lect-notes/opencv-intro/index.html the things needed are a di ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Text (font) on 3D Mesh

  Hello out there... Anyone have an idea how to render text on a 3d mesh like the simple cube So i know that the simple (2d) fonts uses Texture2D but i don't get that on a mesh ... thx... markus I have another solution if you want to render your text in FRONT of the 3D cude then you must set the layer depth parameter in SpriteBatch.Draw to 0f this will draw on top of everything else. If you want to render it on the cube like when you rotate the cube it will rotate with it yeah create a texture and draw it on the cube Tip: If you want to just write whatever on the cube you have to create a bitmap and save it and then reload it as a texture. And on that bitmap place all the letters in the correct place before saving and load ...Show All

• Visual C# Application settings

  Hi, I've got a three tier program. In the data Access layer(DAL) I connect to the database. I use the tabpage settings in the property screen of the DAL. If you do this on the presentation layer(/windows project) then you get an MyAssembly.dll.config in the bin file. But if you do this in the DAL it doesn't create a config file, so yo can't edit it manualy. Can anybody give me a solution Grtz Annihil8 The configuration file used is determined by the executing assembly. Your DAL will not have a config as it is most probably a library. You can access configuration settings in the DAL the standard way; the request for the configuration data will read from the app.config file for the Presentat ...Show All

• Visual C++ CLR for C++

  I know how to program in c++, however I am very new to CLR. I went through some of the "walkthrough" that Microsoft provides, but I need something a little substantial but yet simple and explanatory. Are there any good online tutorials that teach the basics - such as creating forms, using dialog boxes, basic list controls, menu controls.... Maybe even offer step by step instructions on how to create an application using VS 2005. If someone can point me in the right direction on how to get started I would be a big help Thank You The ones I know about are at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e6w9eycd.aspx & also check the videos at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/a ...Show All

• Visual Studio What one-shot recipes would you add to DSL Designer?

  If we were to add some recipes to the DSL Designer in future to automate some one-shot code and model customizations, what features would you most want automated To Evgeny: You can get some of that from Microsoft Guidance Automation Toolkit (GAT), install the add on from here and rename your templates to *.t4 and you're good to go. Though there isn't much help in Intellisence (code completion), but coloring and such. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/teamsystem/Workshop/gat/default.aspx Oh and you might have to reset the Experimental Hive to get it to work fully. There was a thread on it on the forums, can't find it atm (with just a quick search). ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Databinding Support

  WPF is very much based on databinding for the way it interacts with data. It looks like there is no support for the Binding tag in WPF/E. Is this planned when the CLR is incoprorated Will you be able to bind to JScript data XML data islands etc "WPF/E" does not support data binding per-se. However, when used in conjunction with ASP.NET and ASP.NET AJAX it can leverage ASP.NET data binding capabilities. Look at the samples at http://msdn.microsoft.com/wpfe ...Show All

  Hello, I have used VS2005 for quite sometime now and I always had option to open or create website from homepage, now I see only "Project". I can still create and open website from File menu but option is gone from homepage, anybody has any idea why would that be G Try re-importing the Visual C# Development settings.

• Visual Studio Team System Sharing common components across projects ?

  Hi, we are currently moving to TeamSystem and are wondering how to set up our projects with regards to source control and workspaces Currently we have a solution that groups around 20 projects to make up the application. There are also some common projects (used with other applications) in the solution. What is the best way to set up a Team Project in terms of source control Is it a case of adding the solution to the team project What about the common projects Do we add those to the team project also or set up separate team projects for them If so, how will work items be tracked across the separate team projects WIll code changes in the common team project be reflected in the main team project Many people have asked s ...Show All

• .NET Development XML Qualified Namespace Problem - AXIS, .Net 2.0

  Hello, I am currently working on a project where a .net client calls a java web service. I have made 2 clients, one in Java (for testing) and one in .Net. Using wsdl2java I generate client stubs for Java and the Java Client can serialize everything properly. When I add a web reference with .Net to the same web service and make a call, I get serialization errors. The reason is that Axis fully qualifies namespaces with prefixes, while .Net does not. The payloads are below. Axis 2 <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soap:Body> <ns2:CriteriaExpression xmlns: ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Help With Strange Serialization Issue

  I am having a little difficulty troubleshooting a serialization error. I am attempting to send to a WCF service an object that is part of third party software therefore I have no control over how the object is serialized or deserialized. I know the object is serializable because I have been able to successully serialize the object using the soap formatter to a file and then deserialize it from said file. The problem I am experiencing is when I create the object on the client side and send it into the WCF service method. I set a breakpoint on the service but it never makes it. The only exception I get is a timeout on the client side. I have turned on tracing on both the client and server side and I am able to see the message arrive ...Show All
