• Audio and Video Development Scaling with Media Foundation transform

  Hi I'm trying to write a transform that among other things does scaling. To Test it I'm using the PlaybackFX from the Media Foundation samples. The problem I encountered in is that in the transfrom filter it looks like the other parts of the topology is ok with the scaling (I'm getting SetOutputType() with the scaled size), but in the player it doesn't seem like working. I tried to get the video size using IMFVideoDisplayControl::GetNativeVideoSize() and I'm getting the original size before the scaling (the MSDN describe this function as a way to get the size prior to any stretching by the video renderer, so I expected it to be the scaled size). I also tried to set the video size to the output size of the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Printing in .NET

  The printing model in .NET is done by putting code in PrintDocument_PrintPage event and setting HasMorePages = True which will cause the PrintDocument_PrintPage event to fire again until you set HasMorePages = False. Is there a way that I can manually control the page breaks without using this crazy (IMO) event mechanism I wonder if this helps you in some way http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=813103&SiteID=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=805077&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Displaying Working Icon on screen

  Hi all, I'm developing mainly on PDAs and I want to know how to display the icon that comes up when a process is taking a while. There is normally an icon that appears which lets the user know that something is working in the background (like a progress bar, but a square that just repeats some animation) Is there an easy way to display this (is it part of a built-in function) or do you have to add your own icon and loop through the animation within a timer Thanks in advance. Kind Regards, Grant.

• SQL Server MDX Calculations Script updates

  I have mdx calculated members defined in my cube calculation script. Is there any tool (other than BI Studio) that would allow a power user (typically a financial controller) to modify formulas for selected calculated members Another option could be to use custom rollup formulas stored in the relational data source and offer a nice front-end for modifying those formulas, but this would require a full process of the cube, where as modifying the calculation script would only require a default process. Any other idea Thanks! Thanks for the explanations Darren. As you rightly guessed, I would like to allow power users to modify centrally stored calculations. However, BI Studio is overkill for my target popu ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS and deleted records

  I am trying to use SSIS to upsize Visual FoxPro data. The data is in free tables. I'm using the VFP OLE DB provider in a connection pointed at a folder. When I click on preview, I see the right data--deleted records are not included. However, when I run the package, the deleted records are sent to SQL Server 2005. I can pack all the tables prior to executing the package as a work around, but I would think I shouldn't have to. I don't see any way to detect which records are marked for deletion in the data flow. I've tried to specify in the connection string Deleted=Yes, but to no good effect. Also, as I mentioned, when I preview the data, the deleted records are not included, so the connection seems to work properly . Steps to reproduc ...Show All

• Windows Forms Spare Row at the botton of the DGV

  Hi All Whenever I bind Data to the DGV control, there always seems to be a small grey area at the bottom of the control that I can't get rid off, no matter how carefully I size the control at design time. I am using the AutoSizeMode property of the right hand column to ensure there is no 'spare space' horizontally when the control/form is resized, but I can't find any similair property to get rid of the spare vertical space. I thought it may be due to the control leaving room for a user to add a new row of data, or for scroll bars, but whatever I seem to do, theres always a small bit of space after by rows. I have now set the background colour of the grid from the dark grey default to something less in your face, but this is only a w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Customize Project Template to set Area Security

Is there a way in the setup default Area permissions for these new groups in the template Or will this need to be something that is done after the project has been created. Yes. In the GroupsandPermissions.xml you can set the default permissions (permissions applied to the root area node) for that group. For example, in the Agile process template, the Contributors group has the following definition: < group name = " Contributors " description = " Members of this group can add, modify, and delete items within the team project.

• Visual Studio Registering new Project Type with VS2005

I found this article in the MSDN docs http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3xa20z3f.aspx , but I am not clear if this is what I need to do, and if it is how to do it.
