• Visual Studio Express Editions Can I Create An AVI File?

  Hey MSDN. So far, 99% of the help I need, I can either get from here, or by a quick google search, but this I'm not so sure about this question. I have been working on a screen shot program. Well my brother and I, we play a lot of games and my brother is starting a little online gaming community. Well, I know of a few screen recording programs but they are shareware, not freeware. Now the beauty of programming, or at least an advantage is that if need a program we can try to make one that "Will do". In any case. My screen shot program is a success to say the least. All my friends love it, but they have challenged me. So after looking around the net I cannot find information on AVI Files. How are they made Can .NET create them Do ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista canceling an activity to reset itself?

  i've got a custom activity composed of 2 activities. all it does is listen for an event from the user, and then if the user input is valid, it calls an external method. the problem is, i don't see how to 'reset' the activity if the input is invalid. i.e. if the input is invalid, then i need for the current activity to cancel out and start listening again. as a hack, i think i can accomplish this by enclosing it in a while loop activity, and not to break out of the loop unless the user input is valid. or is there another way to accomplish this by setting the execution status if so, i haven't been able to determine the correct method call, or (dependency) property to set. Thanks, casey disregard my ...Show All

• Windows Forms list box and datasets

  hey, how do you make it so that a list box shows the items on a dataset     Thanks :) Well, the user has to be happy so I guess I will not do it that way... So becuase I dont seem to like using datasets(due to dificuly of getting it to work with my controls) I will directly save it to a XML file...and when the form loads it will take the info from the XML file and put it in bookmarks and listbox...   But here is the thing, when the user clicks on add bookmarks it opens a form I made called Addbookmarks and in that form you type in a textbox what you want to name the bookmark(the name that you will see in the bookmarks list) how do I..well hold on let me try to make the XML file first and then see what ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Security certificate bug or other file exception

  I started writing a simple program to handle avatar movement and a scrolling tile map (planning on having it grow into an RPG style, or at least a stepping stone before leaping into 3D design). I reached a point in the code where I thought it would be nice to show it to a few people I was talking to about it. So I packaged up the project, and a copy of the release compiled exe. The project kept showing a certificate missing error when compiling, but that went away on the other machines by turning off the signing function. The odd thing is that the application shows a file not found exception if you just use the release exe package (I've double checked, there aren't any of my content/image/xml files missing). I get the same error if I try ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cannot install .NET Framework 3.0

  I downloaded the .NET 3.0 Framework installer, the SDK installer, and the VS Extensions. I then accidentally ran the SDK installer first. Following that I ran the .NET Framework 3.0 installer, but when I realized that I had accidentally installed the SDK first, I stopped the Framework installer. When I stopped the Framework installer it had downloaded 14 out of the 30 MB of data it needs. I then uninstalled the SDK. Now when I try to run the Framework installer, it cannot download anything past the 14 MB of data it originally downloaded. I tried erasing the cached data from the Temp directory. Even after doing that, the Framework installer will run to the point where it has downloaded 14 MB and then the transfer rate hits 0 kb/sec. Even ...Show All

• .NET Development database MDI application Dataset update question using VB .NET 2003 & SQL Server

  Hello, I am a few months into .NET (changing access DB client server - VB6.0 Application). Although update/merge strategy works quite well, I need a notification mechanism that allows a viewing client application to see updates from another user. I am trying the follwong: 1.Polling the database for changes. 2. Look into alternatives. Some seem to point to DB triggers. Could you point me in the right direction Thanks, Nick If you have multiple clients connecting directly to the same database, polling is the only reliable way to go. If the clients are connecting to the database through a server application, that application should provide the update notification to all the client ...Show All

• Visual C# Why string is a reference type?

  I don't understand it. System.String hola = "tal"; System.String hola2; hola2 = "talycual"; Debug.Print(hola2); hola2 = hola; hola = "___"; Debug.Print(hola2); And the output is: talycual tal If string is a reference type ... the output must be at the last line : ____, but 'hola2' has a copy of 'hola' .
