  New in VB . I put a mp3. file in my application using AxWindowsMediaPlayer and putting the url C:\Documents and Settings\ etc...It works on my pc, but i tryed sending the exe. to somebody else but they can't hear the music. They could run the exe program but can't hear anything. So i was wondering if anybody could help me........to fix this problem ...what could i do thanksssssss what spotty said about making sure the file exists before playing is very true, and so it should be. Of course if you move the file then no doubt the file wont play. you need to be sure that the file exists before/during playing otherwise you will get the error you are having right now. Asking the user to select a file to play is good design rather than ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Error in Microsoft Sample Code For RDA

  Hi, I think that there may be an error in some sample code that is on MS website and around the Internet with respect to RSA. Here is the code try { if (File.Exists("\\My Documents\\RdaDb.sdf")) File.Delete("\\My Documents\\RdaDb.sdf"); Where RdaDb is the name of the SQL Server mobile database. This will work fine the first time the database is pulled down, but the second and third.... times, the file cannot be deleted as it is in use by SQL Server Mobile. Any ideas Consider closing connections so file won't be in use. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can VS2003 be installed after 2005?

  I have a PC with XP Pro service pack 2 with the following installed: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 + service pack 1 Microsoft Office 2003 + service pack 2 Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 All are full installs so there's a variety of related installed programs also. Do I need to uninstall Visual Studio 2005 before I can install Visual Studio 2003 and then reinstall 2005 it's a good question and im not sure but its best to install old -> new to make sure it doesnt overwrite files, cause any misconfiguration etc.... you should be ok logically (no idea about in practice) since the .NET Framework and the VS are installed in seperate directories. Best thing to do is to remove VS2005 including the .NE ...Show All

• Visual Basic Performing Reflection on Objects

  Hey Everyone What I'm trying to do is create a SQL read procedure that I can reuse. My initial idea was to create the procedure that gets passed an object. ie. Private Sub SqlRead(ByRef Request As Object) The reason I would need reflection is to analyze the object for members of type String whose name starts with DB. ie. Public Class Employee Public DBFirstName, DBLastName as String When that object is passed to the procedure, the SQL command text would be created dynamically according what members are in the object. Do I require reflection for this or is there another way Bascially by the end of it, I want the procedure to execute the command below if it were passed that object.j Select (DBFirstName, DBLastName) from employee ...Show All

• Visual C++ Bitmap pixel interpolation

  Hello, I am making small 24bpp bitmap images (say, 20x20 pixels). I use the lockbits and all that to do it because it is faster. After I amke the image I display it in a picture box, the pixels are not solid colours...they interploate into one another which I guess is to smooth out larger images and make them look better. But I actually want fully pixelated images with no interpolation. If I save the image and look at it in paint instead, the image IS pixelated and there is no interpolation, no blending. So what is going on here How do I get the picture box to display the small image fully pixelated Thanks a lot! Joe Hello Can you give us some more information please ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Completely confused

  I recently downloaded XNA and took the video tutorials I could find, but every one of them seemed to have a diffrent version then mine. I found the XNA tutorial microsoft provided, and started following it. Right in the middle of it when I first started coding, it began to get very confusing. His coding was much diffrent then mine, and he was pasting in new coding. I began to fool around with it trying to make it as close to his as I can, but I just got more confused. What are the best tutorials up to date for an complete new person to game designing Here are a selection of sites offering tutorials that I found useful http://www.xnatutorial.com/ good video tutorials about c# and XNA he ...Show All

• Visual Studio GlobalModPath

  in VS 7.1 there was a registry setting for GlobalModPath. it was located here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\NativeDE\Dumps You could use it to specify the window symbol server to download binary modules. This helped when analyzing memory dumps or remote debugging since it could get the binaries (and elminate the "matching binary not found" message) and then continue to download the symbols. in VS 8.0 this key does not seem to be used anymore. Now in VS 8.0 I have to set MODPATH under the command arguments for each project which is annoying. WinDBG uses the environment varaible: _NT_EXECUTABLE_IMAGE_PATH but that doesnt work with VS. Is there anyway to set the MODPATH globally via the en ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Modifying DataDude projects from Team System Developer...

  Currently we're using the generic 'Database Project' in Team System Developer and I'm looking into switching the database people over to DataDude. Unfortunately some of our developers need to create and/or modify some of the database objects (mostly stored procs and tables). Can anyone point me towards something outlining how this works or possibly just share success or failure doing this Thanks! Well for anyone following along at work/home... Just got my MSDN stuff set up (new job) and I plan on checking out interop of the two products tonight. I'll post info, in the meantime if anyone has any tips, they'd be appreciated. :D ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How many scenarios I should write to start the first iteration

  hi How many scenarios should write the bussiness analyst before to start the first iteration Thanks in advance Javier Hi Javier, If the iteration is short enough, there won't be many scenarios. The idea is to prioritize the scenario entries (the names of the scenarios) and then provide a rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate. Worry about the relative sizes, not how long they take. Is this one as large as that one Is it twice as large If it is 10x larger, split it into smaller scenarios. Keep them customer valued. Cheers, Randy ...Show All

• SQL Server # of Full-Text Catalogs per SQL 2005 server.

  In SQL 2000 there was a limit of 256 Full-Text Catalogs per server. What is the limit if any in SQL 2005 I heard SQL 2005 lifted this limit of 256, but I can't find anywhere what the new limit is. I've also looked all over for an answer to this question. There must be some limit - it would be good to have a definitive answer from Microsoft that this has been increased and what it has been increased to. ...Show All
