• Internet Explorer Development how do you change the default media player in IE7

  I have upgraded to IE7 and when I visit web sites that require an audio media player it uses "Real Player". I want it to run "Windows Media Player". Where do you make this change in IE7. It has nothing to do with Internet Explorer 7. To solve the issue, open Windows Media Player. Go to Tools > Options and select File Types tab then click on Select All. Click Apply, then OK. Restart your IE. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Questions about PSPE - promotable transactions

  This post is in response to Florin Lazar's weblog of 5/17/2005 at http://blogs.gotdotnet.com/florinlazar/archive/2005/05/17/418595.aspx Thanks for the informative article, Florin! As a provider writer, I am interested in finding out more about promotable transactions. Let's say you have two connections: c1 and c2, and the following scenario: Connection c1 registers as a PSPE transaction, and it succeeds, so we have a local transaction. Next, connection c2 comes along and registers as a PSPE transaction. Because there's already a transaction going, c2's PSPE enlistment fails, so two things need to happen: (1) c1 needs to be promoted to a distributed transaction, and (2) c2 needs to enlist as a distributed transaction. Q1: Is the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Is this a Bug? Published ClickOnce App Will Not Update Automatically

  I have a ClickOnce application that I am about to release. However, as I have tested my ClickOnce deployment, I've noticed that there seems to be a bug I see occasionally and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's an issue with ClickOnce. Here's the deal. When I am about to publish my application, I open the projects properties page, go to the Publish tab and manually increment the version number. (I know I can set the auto check button to do that for me, but I don't auto-increment the application for other reasons). After I change the version of the app, I click on the Update button on this tab and then I manually set the minimum version to the new application version. After setting the version. Next, I always clean the s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Comparing char and int variables

  I am writing a very simple guess the number game but I am stuck at comparing the user guess (a char) to the random number (an int). I tried type casting the char to a number but this doesn't work (i.e. 1 = 49 when type cast). I know this is a complete noob question but I'm rusty at C++. I am not 100% sure this is what you are asking but you could try subtracting '0' from the char. For example: char c = <user-input> int value = c - '0'; This will give you the numeric value of the character that the user entered. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Are they bugs?

  Hy! I'm trin' XNA since 1.0 was released, so I'm kind of newbe. The first thing, what I expected as a bug is that SynchronizeWithVerticalRetrace seems to do nothing. I use the base Windows Game project for test, and in the Initialize function I set some parameters: _graphics.GraphicsDevice.PresentationParameters.FullScreenRefreshRateInHz = 70; _graphics.SynchronizeWithVerticalRetrace = true; _graphics.IsFullScreen = true; But it do nothing. The problem is: I can turn on/off VSyns, but I can't handle the refreh rate! I set it to 60, then to 70, but in fullscreen, my application runs with 85Hz -> 85 FPS instead of 60 or 70. Addition to this, my app throw an error, and Express must be restarted... The second is with multi ...Show All
