• Smart Device Development Using smartphone USB to connect a specific device

  Hello, I've got a USB device working fine under Windows XP. I want to connect it with my smartphone. Do you know if it is possible to develop a software under Windows Mobile 5 to drive this specific USB device using the smartphone USB port like a host one Thank you for your help. Bertrand You may use a GPIO card like CF to USB HOST adapter or SD card to USB HOST adapter. You would probably need WIN CE 5.0 running on PDA. This PDA will definitely work. http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/IPAQ-HX2790-624MHZ-64MB-POCKET-SYSTPC-SD-MMC-SDIO-CF-II-USB-SER-IRDA/2633083/product.html cid=123620&fp=F&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=10837424-000-000 ...Show All

• Visual C# Connect to running instance of Word (late bound)

Process .GetProcessesByName( "WINWORD" ); object objWord = ( Word.Application) processes[0]; As you can see this requires a cast which won't work late bound. thanks Hi, For such issues please use an appropriate newsgroup, potentially one at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups .

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Packaging assets

  I haven't got into using XNA as of yet, however I very much like the idea to play my games on the Xbox360 (blah blah blah). I see that the XNA team has put large amounts of effort into some asset management in XNA, that includes the XACT audio cues for like "make it possible to change the sound triggered by some event without doing it in the programming". I'm fairly deep into the process of making my customized packaging format with the goal to essentially archive anything (textures, sounds etc) into a single or more packages. There are several reasons, one of them because I started before the XNA project was convened, and to ease distributions on levels and mods by packing several files, textures, sounds, scripts in a single package file. ...Show All

• Visual C# FileLogTraceListener not writing to file beyond a constant max-size

  Hi Friends, I've been using FileLogTraceListener class to write log data to files. Since the data being written is continuously generated, I set the file to be created on a daily basis. I do not set up the maximum size for the log file. The problem is - My log files do not seem to grow beyond a fixed size (4833 K). All messages are written to log file till the file grows to this size and then no logs are appended. Here are my settings - faultLoglistener = new FileLogTraceListener(); faultLoglistener.Location = LogFileLocation.Custom; faultLoglistener.CustomLocation = "C:\\"; faultLoglistener.BaseFileName = "FaultLog"; faultLoglistener.LogFileCreationSchedule = LogFileCreationScheduleOption.Daily; faultLogli ...Show All

• Visual Studio MS Build and MDSD

  Hello, I'm just starting with MS Build and I have a question, if the following scenario would be possible using MSBuild. We're just about to start a research project about model-driven software development. Because of other parts of the project using Java technology we use OpenArchitectureWare (and Eclipse) as the shared MDSD framework. So the output of oAW are some generated cs-files in a certain directory. Another part of the application (possibly dependent of the generated files) is developed with Visual Studio. So my question is: Is it possible with MSBuild to write a build script, which uses the solution developed in Visual Studio, integrates it with the generated files in some other directory and updates the sln-File (and whatever ot ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development AACS protection has been hacked

  I don't like to be the party pooper but I heard the news today that the AACS copy protection  for HD DVD has been hacked. I'm completely pro HD DVD, so I don't like this news one bit . Could this mean a serious threat to HD DVD already BD uses AACS too so I hope it's just a matter of (little) time, so BOTH formats are back to square one. Hopefully the HD DVD specs can still be reviewed to fix this problem... http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php t=119871 http://www.youtube.com/watch v=_oZGYb92isE I affraid by last information about AACS hack.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Getting the string value out of a WMI query

  Hi Folks; I have a function that was available on the MSDN website to gather system information using WMI and it works beautifully. My frustration is this; the data (computer name for example) comes out as a BSTR. I also have a Win32 appl I'm working on so I want to be able to pass the name to my app so it can put it out onto a text field. The problem is there is no easy conversion that I'm aware of. A snippet of the code is as follows: ... VARIANT vtProp; VariantInit(&vtProp); // Get the value of the Name property HRESULT hr; hr = pclsObj->Get(L "CSName" , 0, &vtProp, 0, 0); _bstr_t b = vtProp.bstrVal; data.CompName = ( char *)b; ...

• SQL Server .NET CLR data SqlClient Connection Pools has not instances in Perfmon Performance Monitor

  I'm running SQL Server 2005 x64 on 64bit Windows 2003 Server. I'm getting connection pool errors on our web app so I wanted to use PerfMon to check the connection pool list, but actually I can't add it to Performance Monitor. The Add button never becomes enabled since there seems to be no available instances on the right hand select box. I maybe too new to this, but was there something I have to enable in SQL SERVER 2005 or .NET so that I can get this performance data Thanks, Not sure why you can't add in PerfMon, but pool errors are usually due to not closing connections. You must call the Close method of a connection before a method ends. Also if you are passing DataReaders around you may be le ...Show All
