• Visual Basic Bringing file into Stream

  I'm trying to bring a file I open from my hard drive and bring it into a Stream. I'm doing it this way because I want to simulate a test. I'm using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2003. This is a Windows application. When I get past the line "Count = pdfStream.Read(Buffer, 0, Buffer.Length)", "Count" is equal to zero, which it should be 8193. I think I am not getting the file to be recognized by the MemoryStream or perhaps the Buffer, but I can't see where to hook it together. Can you see where I'm missing it Thank you! ofdChoosePDF.ShowDialog() 'Choose the file from an OpenFileDialog box. Dim thePdfFileAndDirectory As String = ofdChoosePDF.FileName 'Get filename. Dim pdfStream As MemoryStream pdfStream = New Mem ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Support for Streaming Servers ?

  I am currently trying to find out if support for any streaming architecture has been implemented in the FEB2007 release; ideally the Windows Media Server WMS architecture. I would like to be able to access streaming content under any of streaming protocols ideally rtsp:// or mms://. Our architecture is setup on WMS and I am typically working with 45-90 minute recordings. Due to the limited support for WMP on Mac OS X as well as compatibility issues with the latest Intel based macs, I am very eager to be able to replace the embeded WMP with a WPF/E based player, however I need the ability to seek to random points in a file. Also in looking at the docs, WPF/E is said to support WM9, I was wondering if it will be suporting all WM9 codecs ( ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Whats the best way to determine whether or not an Entity already exists in the DB

  I'm asking with regards to using Linq to Entities. Lets assume that before I persist an Entity, I want to make sure that it doesn't already exist. I notice there's a GetObjectByKey method, but it throws an exception if the key is not found. Also, I can't do something like... var e = (from c in model.MyEntities where c.Name = "Senkwe" select c); if(e.Count() > 0) //Can't do this because Count() is not yet implemented e.ToSequence().First() // Will throw an exception for an empty sequence (and First() is not even implemented actually) Any workarounds I'm missing Thanks.

• Visual C# How to check assignment of Event Handler

  Hi All, I have following line in my C# code : bkmkRow . Selected += new WordTools . SelectionEventHandler ( this . STTable_Row_BookmarkSelected); where bkmkRow is the Bookmark object of Word class (in VSTO). Now before assignment of "SelectionEventHandler" to "Selected" event, how can I check that any event handler has been assigned or not Any help Thanks in advance....... Joey, You might well be right.

• Windows Forms unable to import merge module 'vc_user_crt71_rtl_x86_---'

  Hi. This is for VisualStudio 2003. I have a deployment project that used to build fine. Very recently I started seeing the following error messages when building the msi file: unable to import merge module 'vc_user_crt71_rtl_x86_---' unable to import merge module 'vc_user_mfc71_rtl_x86_---' As a sanity check I tried building the last shipped version of this code and got the same error. Now, I *KNOW* this built properly when we shipped it, so I'm guessing this might be a system or setup issue on this particular PC. I did some searching on the web - I have confirmed that these files do exist in my C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules directory. I tried deleting and redetecting the dependencies for this deployment p ...Show All

• .NET Development Asynchronous Vs Threading

  Hi, I want to know what are the differences between Asynchronous invocation and threading.Does Asynchronous invocation creates a new thread Thanks, Suresh Hi, There are many differences, actually delegate async invoke (use a thread from the pool (async invocations may use threads or fibers) to execute (like queuing a task on the Threadpool object), so they can not be compared, one uses the other one. Threads are independent execution flow with its own stack. Imagine them as they are a different program running "at the same time" as your main program. When you want a specific task to be exceuted but as soon as you call it you want your program to continue the asynchronic invocation is d ...Show All
