• Smart Device Development Use VB2005, the command for a WM5.0 device program that needs to download a file

  Hello, I have a small program that runs on a smart device that needs to download a text file from an ftp site on the Internet. I can't seem to find the command to do that; can anyone help me Thank you At first I did not understand why they would leave that ability out until I read your comment that FTP is outdated, now I understand. Learning this is more than I can handle at the present state of my ability to write code; I am a rank amatuer at present so I will stick to the very basic stuff until I can step up to a higher level.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Video "pixelisation" using Video Mixing Renderer 9

  Hi, I'm working on a mpeg2 ts file video player relying on existing directshow decoder filters. This works great under XP SP2 with for example NVidia puredecoder, or any other mpeg2 decoders. Running my application under Vista RC2 Ultimate Edition, the video is pixelized as if the video was zoomed in. If I play the same file with Windows Media Player, video is perfect. This test has been done with default Microsoft MPEG2 decoder filter, and it seems to be the same with any other decoders. Does this have something to do with the Video Mixer Renderer 9 Did I miss something with it under Vista I also made a quick test with Video Mixer Renderer 7, unfortunately, it is the same result. If anyone can point me on the right way to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions = and != operator

• Windows Forms disappear slowly

  dear friends how to change the way to form exit disappear slowly when exit the program. plz help me. thanks in advance Ravi yadav India have you tried searching the forums as well as your favourite search engine :-) pretty much you require a timer and set the interval for this timer to however long you want to take to make the form fade away. The fade away is known as opacity and you simply decrease the amount you want until no more opacity is left. Example: 'Timer tick event if Me.Opacity > 0 then Me.Opacity = Me.Opacity - 0.02 else Me.theTimer.Stop() Application.Exit() end if http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.opacity.aspx you would start the ti ...Show All

  It's finally all working, thanks for all the help! I've created a Sky Sphere demo to help me figure out how to do such a thing for my game. The texture for the sky sphere gets distorted around the poles, and I haven't figure out how to fix that, but otherwise it looks pretty cool.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Scaling out Windows Workflow

  Looking for a point in the right direction for scaling out an windows service hosted workflow to multiple application machines. In the MSDN article "Performance Characteristics of Windows Workflow Foundation" http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa973808.aspx they show workflows running on multiple machines. Are these machines sharing the durable queue thank you adam Adam, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Given the default services included with WF, there's no possibility that a running workflow, with no persistence involved would migrate between servers. Now, even if persistence was involved and you had idle and persisted workflows, what would determie where they were loaded ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System how to use generic test to run vb script

  I have an existing vbscript which do the actual testing. And I can put this command into a generic test: "cscript.exe myscript.vbs". In the script, I use WScript.Quit(1) for test failure. But the question is how can I pass the return value from script host to Generic Test and tell it's pass/fail Thanks, Frank Hi Frank, If your existing test uses process exit codes to communicate whether the test passed or failed (0 for passing, any other value for failure), you can wrap it into a generic test with no problems, everything should be fine. If you want detailed results, then you will need to modify your test sources so that they use an XML file to communicate the detailed results. The XML file must conform to th ...Show All
