• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Videostream

  Hi all. Been looking around with the aim of writing an app that can both preview and stream webcam video, but appear to have fallen at the first hurdle. All the information I can find seems to be older, using either native calls or DirectShow to perform this, but I've been told that the framework now supports using a WebCam. Anyone got any information on how to use a webcam preview, and maybe how to go about streaming it over a network Thanks! Further detail. The CBaseRenderer class helps in creating a streaming WMF Filter (and you can use the InputPin that it provides to retrieve the individual frames as they are passed to the Filter). The frame samples are pushed to the filter by the graph through the ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Font Size Randomly Changing

  Has anyone experienced a problem in a FoxPro 9 application, where the font size of some controls on a form change It could happen going from form1 to form2, or form3 to form2.  The size changes from 9 to 8, 12, or 18. There doesn't seem to be a pattern, and it could happen today day and not happen for several days later. I have never heard or seen such a thing! I also don't think that VFP implements self-programmed changes. So this must be something to do with the environment - Themes Maybe some wierd set up in the windows IDE configuration for "active" and "inactive" windows But without a little more detail it is hard to guess ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums OGC WMS/WFS connection in Virtual Earth

  Hello all, MSN VE is looking fantastic and getting better. Indeed a good option against google earth. But I could easily make some php scripts that could connect WMS to Google and project data on the fly to GE and this was also possible with MySql+GE connections. But did anybody already do an experiment to connect a WMS to MSN Virtual Earth I would be very much delighted to have some codes if possible. Shuman Kibria Please contact kibria14829@itc.nl I'd liek to see some examples.. we use ASP and have done the WMS with Google Maps using an ArcIMS server.. I just posted yesterday on how to get our exsisting Shp files, MrSID and other ESRI based extensions to work. .. Jason ...Show All

• Smart Device Development "My Company" display on programs list

  Good afternoon gentlemen. After I install the CAB file into the pocket device, in the installed programs list it appears "My Company AppName". I want to remove "My Company" from the name of my application. How can I do it I'm using .NET 2003 with C# code. Best regards, The text "My Company" is generated during the building of CAB files. To change this, you will need to change the file that is located in your <project root>\obj\release\<AppName>_<Platform>.inf. Example filename: \SCANNERAPP\obj\Release\ScannerApp_WCE4.inf In this file, the section labeled [Version] has a field called Provider. Change this to say whatever you want. A warning about this file: it gets regenerated everytime you choos ...Show All

• Visual C# Safe Termination of application when using ThreadPool threads in .NETCF2.0.

  Hi all, I'm successfully (I think ;p) making use of the ThreadPool class to launch short running asynchronous worker threads to process SMS messages on a WM5 device. When the worker method completes (even in event of exception) it calls another method that fires an event. This event calls bound methods on the form class. These methods create delegates and make use of the form.BeginInvoke to asynchronously marshall updates to the UI safely using the UI thread itself. My concern through all of this is application termination. I don't know how or if its possible to check the ThreadPool for running threads. It is very unlikely but I don't want to cause problems. Although I try my best to avoid exceptions from locking up threads I don't ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) how to make the header of an expander control stretch?

  I'm trying to make the header of an Expander control fill the available horizontal space in the parent. I'd expect something like this to work: <Expander IsExpanded="True"> <Expander.Header> <Border Background="Blue"> <TextBlock>Hi there</TextBlock> </Border> </Expander.Header> <Expander.Content> <Rectangle Height="100" Fill="Red"/> </Expander.Content> </Expander> The result of this is: - the content (red rectangle) is stretched out horizontally (good) - in the header, the blue background precisely fits the area of the text in the TextBlock (bad) If I put the Border with the embedded TextBlock in, say, ...Show All

• Visual C++ MSI package fails on Vista, okay on XP

  I have a problem installing one of our applications on Vista. It installs fine on XP. The installer package is an .msi created by Visual Studio .NET 2005 running on XP Pro SP2. The package includes a variety of files including 3 ActiveX components. Each component is flagged to self-register during installation. This works fine on XP. On Vista, two of them do not self-register, creating an error. If I ignore the errors and force the installation to complete, then I can manually register them using regsvr32.exe. The only difference I can think of between the ActiveX control that does install and the two that don't is the following: The successful one was originally created using the ATL Wizard in Visual Studio .NET 2003 ...Show All

• .NET Development Changes made to multiple tables

  Hello all, This may sound rather silly (a newbie question...), but is there a way to have more than one table in a dataset, and to have the dataAdapter updated afterwards with changes that were made to all tables If not (as I believe would be the case), what is the easiest way to go about this Am I obliged to create a dataAdapter & dataset for each table if I wish to minimize the usage of dataAdapter.update dataAdapter.fill methods (initializing/filling the Dset & Dadapter upon Form load, then having a certain point to update, instead of updating with every click event and the likes..) Hope this was coherent enough , thanks for any answer.. Somehing like: string strSQL="select * from table1"; string strSQL2="s ...Show All

• Visual C++ Is it possible to consume a VB.Net .dll from C (unmanaged not c++)

  I have a VB.Net dll that contains functionality I need to access from a C program.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Passing WindowsIdentity between services for use with Azman

  Hi all, The following scenario: a client connects to a service passing its WindowsIdentity (WI), e.g. domain\user, using wsHttpBinding. The service uses the WI for authorizing using Azman. The service depends on another service (which could also be called by other clients in different scenario's). The second service also has to authorize the WI of the initial client (domain\user). client --> service 1 --> service 2 | | AzMan AzMan Default, wsHttpBinding passes the WI of the 'intermediairy' service (the first service called, e.g. domain\network service) to the second service. This way the second service authorizes the service (domain\network service) and not the initial caller (domain\user). ...Show All
