• Visual Basic Programming Languages

  Hi, I'm relatively new to programming, and Visual Basic doesn't seem to be that good of a language, and not that much used in real applications. I want to move onto a different language, one that is very popular, can do almost anything, and can be and IS used in professional applications. Another important factor is platform compatibility. Java provides that, but Java isn't that popular for Windows, and Windows is my primary target. C++ works, but I have a couple of questions: 1) Can C++ be used on any OS Is it a good language to use as my primary language 2) Is C# going to replace C++ Does that work on other OS's C# is newer, and so I'm thinking maybe its the new version of C++ that's going to replace it, as xhtml is probably going to do ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Video conferencing app that can act as a DS video source?

  This is perhaps an unusual request, but I wondered if anyone knows of a piece of videoconferencing software (commercial or otherwise) that is capable of acting as a DirectShow video source in a capture graph E.g. the software manages the video conf. connection etc and is able to send its received visual data into a DS capture graph (where it would subsequently be passed through a DS transform filter I've already written) It may be that such a software does not exist but if you know otherwise please spare a moment to post the name here! Thanks, John Just use the regular WDM drivers and build a capture graph that renders to the network, through your transform. You will have to code the User interface that ma ...Show All

• Windows Forms SQL with VB 2005

  hi all i linked my VB 2005 project to a small database which i created. I have a listbox and 2 textboxes. In the list box i see the surname of the customer and in the two textboxes the name and surname. When you click on the listbox (any customer name) the 1st and surname appear in the 2 textboxes as they are linked.

Stopping my application doesnt save the changes :(..any suggestion will be appreciated. thnx How do you read your data from the database DataSets and TableAdapters To p ...Show All

• .NET Development Sporadic AccessViolationException in Marshal.PtrToStructure

  I have a C# class library that provides a wrapper around a set of legacy C-style structures used for interop with another application. When a class is constructed, it uses Marshal.AllocHGlobal to allocate a block of memory of the appropriate size, and frees it using Marshal.FreeHGlobal in the finalizer. Access to bits of the allocated memory is provided through properties that properly convert the data back and forth using Marshal.StructureToPtr and Marshal.PtrToStructure. Periodically, Marshal.PtrToStructure will throw an uncatchable AccessViolationException. This occurs when the garbage collector does a collection, but not for every collection -- I've tried to reproduce it using GC.Collect(), but it resulted paradoxically in it working p ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 Toolbar Icons

  Is it possible to extract the IE7 toolbar icons for use in applications with web browser control or are these protected or inaccessible I've looked for them and can't find them. Indeed, they are in ieframe. Thanks. - I'm just making a slightly modified version of IE in VS2005 with the webbrowser control, and it's just for personal use, I don't plan to even distribute it. I am curious about whether it's legal though. MS makes a lot of their icons available for use but I haven't seen the IE toolbar icons anywhere so I don't know about that. ...Show All
