• Architecture Multiscreen/player synchronization

  Hi, I need input and suggestion on how to design the project, digital signage. Here's the main feature requirements of the project. For example, there will be 5 computers in a room. Each computer has each screen. I need those computers run the same multimedia file and to be able to synchronize them, meaning, if computer 1 is running playlistA, the rest of the computers should be playing the same thing at the same time. I thought of a solution where each computer will have the exact same playlist as each other, then we should have some kind of the mechanism of checking that each computer is running properly. Another solution is to make 1 of them as a central computer and this one will "broadcast" to the others. This way we know th ...Show All

• SQL Server Remove old SQL 2005 Backup files

  I am trying to configure a maintenance plan in SQL 2005 to do a full backup every day and to do log file backups every hour. What I want to do is to keep 3 days worth of full backups and 24 hours of log backups and remove all the backups older that this from the server so that I do not use all of my disk space. I will then backup these files to tape so that I have a good backup history. In SQL 2000 there was a simple option to remove backup files older than a given time frame. Is there an option to do this in 2005 If not can you suggest a way that I can do this.

• Visual Studio XSLT Debugging

  I'm having problems debugging XSLT in Visual Studio 2005. When I click on the "Debug XSLT" button, I get this error: TypeLoadException was unhandled. Method 'Execute' in type 'Microsoft.Xsl.XslPlugin' from assembly 'Microsoft.XslDebugProxy, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' does not have an implementation. It does this no matter what kind of xsl file I have specified for the transform, and no matter what xml files I have specified as the input and output. Also, I opened up my XSL and XML files in another editor and the transform worked just fine. Has anyone else had this problem Could this be a problem with having the latest .NET Framework 3.0 installed Or Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Here is my information: Mic ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Culture prevents listview columns autosizing?

  Happy new year all, I have discovered a problem in the Compact Framework that can only be reproduced by running the same code against an English and German emulator/device. I am setting ColumnHeader.Width to -1 and -2, to find the best fit for each column. Setting the width to -1/-2 does autosize the column on my English devices/emulator, but fails completely when run against a German emulator (the width is only set to 0). Example of the code: foreach (ColumnHeader ch in listView.Columns) { // get width by column header text ch.Width = -2; int w = ch.Width; // now get longest item width ch.Width = -1; // is this less than the column header w ...Show All

• Visual Basic Passing values between forms

  Hello! I have been trying to figure out the best way to do this, read so much about tonite, head is spining, must sleep. But before I go, hoping someone can help me out. I have a text box that holds a value in FormA. I would like to pass that value from that textbox to a diffrent textbox on FormB, c and other forms; in the same app. I saw example where you can make the form public, but can't I create the texbox as a public varaible Or would I try a diffrent way. Just not sure how to write this out in vb.net. Thanks for the help! Rudy There are two common solutions to this issue: 1.

• Visual Basic my.settings string,integer,color,bool work, system.data.datatable does not?

  I have a my.setting named DGVDataTable with system.data.datatable as the type. When the application is started it is nothing. As long as I do not close the app it works fine & I have verified values with watches. This is true for debug and for a published app. I have other my.settings with types of integer, color, bool, string, and they work just fine. I am fairly new at VB2005, so the answer may be something simple that I am just missing. Here is the code to initialize the Table which is called toward the end of form1.load. It throws an exception without the if because it is nothing, which I expect for the first run, however not for subsequent runs.

Then you can take the web test and add it to a load test to stress the server. ...Show All
