• .NET Development how to retrieve from existing file

  hi, I'd like to get data from existing file. I downloaded yahoo! logo to my computer. Then I go back to Visual Studio, go add item, existing item, then yahoo.jpg. Then go to Form2.cs I'm trying to something like shown below; m_BrowserLogoPictureBox.Image = Image.FromFile("yahoo.jpg"); But if I run it, it says "FileNotFoundException". When I test the other project, I successfully compile. I though I did the same thing but it doesn't compile. If anyone can help, I appreciate it. Thanks. Thank you for the tip. I could surely get logo data if I did what you told. It's a bit difficult for me to understand the code from "Image.FromStream(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetE ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem retrieving Serialized Data

  Actually, I'm serializing a Class (marked with [Serializable()] attribute) with a BinaryFormatter, but the problem is, when the thread that serializes the object is disposed I can not retrieve the Serialized data !! ...

And even when the program is disposed and spawned again, In case of calling BinaryFormatter.Deserialize(stream serializationStream) I'll get an instance of the serialized object but all of the properties are nulled !! ...

• Visual Studio Condition for output (verbosity) level

  Hello, the Exec task does not have a Condition attribute. I want to execute a command producing diagnostic info only when verbosity (importance) is set to high. How can I accomplish this (I am looking at wrapping the exec task in choose/when but I cannot find how to test on verbosity in the condition) Best regards, /marcus Hi Marcus, Tasks can't see logger verbosity. Verbosity is purely something the engine passes on to loggers, they can choose what they do with it. The reasoning is that if tasks understood verbosity, I couldn't write a logger that logged everything on low verbosity, for example. Also in future verbosity might be per-logger. I suggest that you have some other toggle for your exec t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista VIDEOINFOHEADER does not update image dimensions

  I have some DirectShow code that loads video clips and plays them onto OpenGL textures. The problem I have is that the VIDEOINFOHEADER returned from the SampleGrabber does not update the bmiHeader.biWidth when changing from a 640x480 to a 720x480 clip. I release the SampleGrabber and all DS filters before rebuilding the chain and clear out the AM_MEDIA_TYPE structs before calling the SampleGrabber's GetConnectedMediaType method. I have the Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK, have built the DS samples as debug and develop on XP SP2. Any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated. This may actually be a codec specific problem. I'm using ffdshow for MJPEG decompression and it has this problem. ...Show All

• Windows Forms StringCollection.ToString?

  I want to show the contents of a StringCollection in a RichTextBox,and i used StringCollection.ToString() which i would expect to work,but it doesn't.It shows the class name.I'm confused.How to convert a StringCollection to string or array One way would be to inherit the StringCollection class and then override the ToString function to return what you want returned. You could also add your own ToArray function if you needed that. You might also look at using Generics instead to see if they're a better fit for your application's needs. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Studio C# problem

  Hi All, I have an issue with Visual studio 2005. I add a private ArrayList arrayList to my main form class. This arraylist is used to dynamically change collection values of certain toolbox items used on the form. However, after co0mpiling a couple of times, Visual Studio removes all statements that include 'arraylist' except for the the declaration of arraylist. This has happened many times now and I find myself replacing the same lines of code continuosly. I htink that this is pretty strange and I am wondering if anyone knows how this can be resolved so that 'arraylist' isn't removed Thanks, Rachad Are you by any chance writing this code in the Form1.Designer.cs file   This is one way that ...Show All
