• Software Development for Windows Vista Displaying Media from an IStream - is Directshow what I should use

  Warning - I'm a complete beginner at DirectShow. I need to come up with a solution to play audio and video in our application. However there are several gotchas in the requirements, that are making it difficult for me to know where to begin - I think Direct~Show is the answer, but am not sure how to proceed. The first gotcha is that the media does not exist as files on the users machine - they are downloaded from remote machines and need to be played as they are downloaded. I can provide an IStream interface to the data. The second gotcha is that I do not know what format the data is in ahead of time. I do receive the filename of the data on the remote machine and I can seek to any position in the file and read a block of data. ...Show All

• Visual Basic ImageLooper Control

  I am working on a VB tutorial, and at the same time trying to create my first control called ImageLooper. This is pretty straightforward, a control box with a picturebox1 inside, a left arrow button and a right arrow button (button1 and button1 respectively). The idea is, with each click in either direction, the next or previous in line image will display, depending on which arrow is clicked. Each button works individually ok, but when I switch from the left arrow button to the right or visa versa, instead of going to the next image down or up, on the first click, it takes one step in the opposite direction, displays that (wrong) image, then, with subsequent clicks, starts moving through the images correctly. The language is below: ...Show All

• .NET Development MSSQL table names

  hey, i'm getting a table from my MSSQL server, but for some reason it has to have the user name preceding it. SqlCommand getOrgs = new SqlCommand("SELECT DISTINCT Organization FROM phenostream_usr.Affiliations"); why is this why can't i just say "From Affiliations" I believe this occurs because the user ID you are logged in with is not the owner of the object, and there are other objects with different owners but the same name.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Hide a Map Control?

  I have been searching the SDK for this one... Is there a way to do this I created a custom code but it didn't work... Which one of the following do you mean by "a map control" 1. The built-in map control. If this one, use map.HideDashboard() 2. A custom control you have added. If this one, use the style attribute of you control and set visibility:hidden or display:none. 3. The map itself. If this one, do the same as #2 but for the DIV that holds the map. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System WorkItemChanged event handler throws exception!

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Inactive event handler on custom toolbar

  Hi, I am using Word 2003 and VSTO 2005. I have a .doc solution deployed by the Publish Wizard. When I open this .doc file there is a custom toolbar with different buttons on it. When I click on the buttons the corresponding event handler is called and executed. So fare everything works perfectly fine! Then I reopen an other instance of the same .doc file (so now I have two Word windows open which are customized by the same assembly). If I click on a button on the custom toolbar in the second Word window, nothing happens at all…. as if the event handlers have been de-activated! Can anyone help me on this Thanks a lot!

• SQL Server How Do I Sort the objects in the Integrated Source Safe

  I manage a team of developers and we are using SQL Server Management Studio v9.00.2047.00 I have created a Solution and we've been adding stored procedures and are using Source Safe integration as well. We have discovered that the objects (stored procedure in this case) are not sorted by name when you pull up the solution explorer. This is unacceptable when you have over a hundred stored procedures and you need to find one quickly to edit and check back in. Is there some configuration I don't know about (undocumented or what have you) to enable the objects to be sorted by default I truly appreciate any help. We may have to abandon our approach because of the frustration factor. Bret Williams Correction - after installin ...Show All
