• Windows Forms How to Change DataView's Default Sort Comparer

  Hi, Is there a way to change DataView's default sort comparer So you can customize its sort behavier. Many thanks in advance, Q You can not change the default sort for a dataview. You should when ever possible make sure the column in the datacolumn is the right type so a number does not get sorted as a string. Typed datasets are a good option. You can create a bindinglist to store the rows in the datatable. You will have to add the sorting abilities to the bindinglist yourself so you can customize its behavior. You will find some code on that in this thread. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL CE 3.0 (Mobile 2005) Max DB Size Question

  Hi everyone, What are the consequences for just setting the Max DB Size to 4GB and letting it go at that Is the MAX Size any arbitrary value I want or must it be close to what the actual database is expected to be Also, why did they default to 128MB Wouldn't it have been better to set it to a larger value Thanks Dorothy Dorothy, Excuse me for butting in, but you can buy Bill's book at http://www.hitchhikerguides.net/ .

• Windows Live Developer Forums Searching for a contact

  <Sorry if this is in the wrong place. This site can get a bit confusing at times> Whilst at camp, I got some friends MSN accounts. But, it seems I wrote one of them down wrong, just by a bit. I have the general idea of what it is but I cannot guess all the possible variables. Is there possibly a way to search all the contacts with a name like that Like type in for example mine, which starts with mats. Then it would show all MSN users whos account starts with mats. I know there may be various reasons why you do not do this, but if you do it would be nice to get in contract with him, so we can go back next year on the same week. Thanks in advanced for any replies. The purpose of this foru ...Show All

• Visual Basic Popping sounds using Windows Media Player to play mp3 files

  When using Windows Media Player (winmm.dll) to play mp3 files, I sometimes notice 'popping' sounds whereas I have not noticed this in quality applications such as Winamp. Can anyone please shed any light on this phenomenum Basically, yes cgraus. MP3s that I know sound good using my normal player can sound bad in my software player. Wether it sounds bad in Windows Media Player I am unsure. I am not always aware of what player I am playing media in. I just think my software app could sound better. As stated, I am simply using the multi-media player that links to winmm.dll and sending a filename to it to play it. It is possible that the effect is more apparent on Windows 2000 compared to Windows 98. Maybe I can avoid using winm ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Internet Time Update

  The internal clock of my PC is very slow. I need very high precission time in my PC while I am running some time sensitive VBE applications. Can the PC time, the one that Now gives out, be updated with an Internet Timer Server, through VBE I know how to do this manually by going in to Date and Time Properties. I need it programmatically. I guess it is just a matter of knowing the protocol these Time servers use. Thanks, Antonio You are right. I was looking for something in the range of 10ms. 1 micro second (0.001 ms) is amazing. I knew that GPS time is good, but not that good. I guess the algorithms to correct for atmospheric conditions are pretty good ...Show All

• .NET Development Memory leaking on one machine, but not another... HELP!!?

  HI I have a vb.net windows forms app (framework 1.1) It creates 4 user-controls on a window (which themselves contain a mixture of com and dotnet controls). It displays the user controls for a fixed amount of time, passing in image and video files to be displayed for fixed time-legths, then destroys them. Then it starts again. On my laptop, and 3 other machines I have at my disposal, the user-controls are disposed of properly, and memory is released, but on 2 machines, the memory is not released! It appears that Garbage collection is not working properly! This is running exactly the same binary .exe file on different machines, and all machines are running framework 1.1 sp1 on xp pro sp2. Can anyone give a reason why on one machine, the mem ...Show All

• Visual C++ Visual C++ Bitmaps and Graphics

  I would first like to appologise if this thread /question is in the wrong section I am working on an application that has a large bitmap / graphic imported onto it. This graphic is going to be the user interface. The graphic contains a small number of buttons which obviosly I cannot do anything with at the moment because they are part of the bitmap. Each button has a circle that is supposed to be an LED. So when the button is pushed the LED lights, and when it is pushed again the LED switches off. What I have decided to do is create a Panel for each of the areas where a button is meant to be; and have 2 graphics for each of the buttons: one with a dark green circle, the other with a light green circle. I will (hopefully) chang ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using wimgapi.dll with VB6 - WimApplyImage causes VB6 IDE to freeze?

  I'm writing some code to use the wim imaging api wimgapi.dll with VB6. The code works 100% on capture, with the callback function correctly getting progress information and updating my form with progress bar etc. This works fine when run from within the IDE or from the compiled .exe. The apply image code is a problem though - the WimApplyImage code locks up the IDE part way through. When run from the compiled exe, I get no progress messages to the callback - I do get all the process messages though, and it actually works in that it correctly applies the image, but it stops updating my form until it exits the WIMApplyImage function. Anyone have any ideas I've tried registering the callback both immediately before the WimApplyIma ...Show All
