• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MediaElement mediaChanged event

  There does not seem to be a mediaChanged event for the media element. How is one notified of the currently playing media file in a streaming scanario I cant even find a way to see info about the file that is currently playing! So apparantly this functionality is not available (until someone tells me different). To get around use the free windows media encoder to encode script commands into each fil ein your stream. At the begining, end, and anywhere inbetween. These script commands can be handled by the MediaElement and are very precise. Implement the behaiour you wish in the event handlers. In my scenario I was trying to stream music and change the titles as the songs played along, so for each song I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Form 2...... in Form 1 only

• Visual Studio Team System Want just to see (not manage) work items from project portal

  Basically, I would like to see work items query results from the project portal. For example, I would like to see all scenarios for a certain iteration. I understand that I need to bring somehow TFS work items to SharePoint and the way of doing it is via reports. Is it right If it is, how do I achieve this Hello Eliyahu, Yes, that is correct. You can create reports and view them from the team portal.

• Visual Studio Express Editions system hangs?

  A search for related questions, etc. turns up nothing useful. Some time after installing MS VB 2005 Express Edition, my system started freezing up, requiring a cold boot every few minutes. So I uninstalled using the recommended tool. My system recovered 100%: no more freezing. Then I reinstalled. For now, things seem to go all right. My question, before it is too late to ask: how can I as a user _document_ these system hang-ups I checked the Event Logs, found nothing suspicious. Are there any monitoring tools Thanks in advance for your answer. stefaan dot meeuws at gmail dot com precisely: the mouse pointer freezes, the keyboard does not respond and the only thing possible is to hold ...Show All

• .NET Development Versioning applications and dll

  Hi. I have a program tha is composed of an exe file and a dll. I have a problem when i want to update the dll because i must update the exe file. Is there anyway to call a dll with version equal o greater than current version for example I have tester with the .config in the exe file but i will develop other applications that will call the dll so i can not change the .config of all programs each time i update the dll...

How can i do it i will preserve backward compatibility of course. Thanks. Hi, As you have just discovered, this is an annoying th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Best 3D framework for .Net applications? (not games)

  Hi, I'm looking to create decent visualisations within existing mixed managed\unmanaged applications. I have used managed directx which seemed unfinished and is now apparently dead due to the advent of XNA. I have heard that you cannot use unmanaged code within an XNA application so what is the best route to provide decent 3d support within non-game .Net applications C++\Cli using unmanaged directX Interop\P/Invoke to directX 3rd party port of a free framework e.g. Axiom (Ogre port), Ihrlicht.Net Thanks! Duncan I'm sure it's not Microsoft's favorite recommendation, but OpenGL exists for both native and managed applications. The Tao Framework is a good tool for your purposes. OpenGL is extensively used fo ...Show All

• SQL Server "Error converting data type nvarchar to real" using LIKE operator on CHAR column

  View1 has a CHAR column of CharCol1. While using LIKE operator on this column, I receive below error. Select * from View1 Where CharCol1 Like '%77%' Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1 Error converting data type nvarchar to real. But all of below syntax works: Select * from View1 Where CharCol1 like N '%77%' Select * from View1 Where CharCol1 Like '77' Select * from View1 Where CharCol1 = '77' Why does SQL 2005 treat '%77%' as real This used to be working in SQL 2000.     Actually the view was being used in SQL 2000 and after SQL 2005 upgrade, this error has started.

• Software Development for Windows Vista RegLoadMUIString Missing In RC1? C# Code Sample

The "default" key for a device appears corrupt in the Vista registry, for example: "[xufkY][ VD/ D-ΓO ιν !!! ]" is displayed instead of "DVD/CDROM drives".

• Software Development for Windows Vista Accept() error when spawning a task

  I am trying to spawn a task to listen for socket connections which will then spawn a task to receive from the connection. The problem I am having is that when I spawn the task the accept() returns an error of ENETDOWN (50) saying that the network is down. However, if instead of spawning the listening task I simply call the function the accept() returns fine. Here is the code... //Spawning a task int main() { taskspawn("listenTask", ListenForConncetion, 100, 0); Time t = {9999, 0}; Sleep(&t); Exit(0); } void ListenForConnection(void) { bind(listenSocket, (sockaddr *)&listenSocketInfo, sizeof(listenSocketInfo)); ..... listenSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); ..... while(1) { acceptSocket = acce ...Show All
