• Visual Basic Sending unicode characters to an application

  (This thread was "moved" to this forum) Hi, I'm creating an application that detects the pressed keystrokes and sends other characters in their place. Just like a key mapper. I'm using a keyboard hook to detect the keystrokes (the one from here , if you need to know) and and then send other keys to applications system-wide. My only problem is that I need to send non-latin characters, cyrillic characters to be more precise (in my case), and I have realized that I'm not able to simulate this the way I'm doing so far. I have researched a lot and the only thing I found was that I may have to use SendInput instead, or Windows Messages to send a WM_CHAR or something like that. My main objective is to be able ...Show All

• Architecture Getting neutral parameterized queries in my application framework

  Ok, I've been digging around looking for a solution to this one for a couple of days now. Maybe someone in this forum has already done this. What I'm trying to do is get to a completely neutral set of SQL in a new pluggable framework I designed. The latest problem I'm dealing with is parameterized queries. It's seems like such an easy problem to solve but I can't find any good answers. Here's an example SQL Server Query: "INSERT INTO MY_TBL VALUES(@parm1, @parm2, @parm3)" Oracle Query: "INSERT INTO MY_TBL VALUES(:parm1, :parm2, :parm3)" DB2 Query: "INSERT INTO MY_TBL VALUES(@parm1, @parm2, @parm3)" Hopefully the issue is obvious, I don't want to have any differences between the queries (other than ...Show All

• SQL Server accesssing mirrored databases via SQLNCLI linked server?

  Does anyone know how to configure a mirrored pair as a linked server on a 3rd instance Say I have a mirrored database on two servers: PRIMARY and SECONDARY. I want to create a linked server on a 3rd machine that allows me to access the database on the mirrored pair.

• Visual Studio Team System Team projects placed in folders

  Currently in our development environment using VSS we have the following structure: $\ Databases Documentation Legacy Projects Folder1 Project Project Project Folder2 In this structure the Project best equates to a Team Project. We currently have VSS laid out just as the folder structure on the drive. We’d like to keep this structure going forward with TFS. This provides us a way to organize each of the team projects and the source control. Also it prevents every developer having to create a workspace and set up the root of the folders for every project/folder in the workspace set up. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Xbox Live Arcade "Standards" ???

  Does anyone have any information about the required "standards" for an Xbox Live Arcade game For example, most arcade games I've downloaded appear to have the following 6 standard menu options for their splash screens (in order)... 1. Single Player 2. Multiplayer 3. Leaderboards 4. Achievements 5. Help and Options 6. Return to Arcade (For trial versions, there is also a 7th option, Unlock Full Version, or something similar. Also, I'm assuming Multiplayer is optional; non-multiplayer games obviously don't need it.) What other requirements are there Where can I find more information about this Thanks!
