• Audio and Video Development mp3 classes

  can anyone tell me what classes to use to edit id3 tags of mp3's I'd actually recommend using the Windows Media Format SDK for this, which you can get from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsmedia/downloads/default.aspx . Take a look at WMCreateEditor, IWMMetadataEditor, and the various IWMHeaderInfo interfaces. Note, however, that this forum doesn't cover WMFSDK questions, so if you have any questions once you get going, try them here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/default.mspx dg=microsoft.public.windowsmedia.sdk&lang=en&cr=US Becky ...Show All

• .NET Development .net & XML & .pdf & error

  Gang: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Has anybody had issue with not being able to open pdf in any browser using .net application The pdf is fine if use Adobe to read it; or just a browser, but not when combined with .net. This is probably related to dll hell with version 1.1 framework. If anybody has pointers, I'll be researching the issue. The pdf is accessed via datagrid HyperLinkColumn. It was working until recently. I'll be asking the network admin if has backup of application/bin/dll's. I am having the same problem. My application prompts the user to either open or save the pdf. Once it has been saved, after opening it, it comes ...Show All

• Visual C# Intellisence Doesn't Remember Last Session

  I have visual studio 2003 installed on my computer. The intellisense was working just fine until I installed VS 2005. I don't know what happened but now everytime I start VS 2003 it doesn't remember any of the recent intellisense commands. Ex: If I type "System." it should come up as "System.Diagnostics " instead it selects the first item in the list. If I repeat the process in the same session it goes right to "System.Diagnostics". Is there anyway to fix this I found the option at Tools => Options => Text Editor => C# => Formatting. It was already checked so I unchecked it, cleared the history and rechecked it. I will see if that solves the issue ...Show All

• .NET Development Run my program on startup - without logging in - is it possible?

  Basically I want my program to be run on startup. The program uses a GUI form. Is there a way that can be accomplished without anybody logging in I'm not really used to windows account and privilege system (linux guy), so any comments are appreciated. If there's no way to do the GUI thing, can I make a service that logs someone in and launches the program Any pointers or suggestions are appreciated. If nothing works I can always have someone log in whenever the computer starts and just put those programs into the startup folder, but I'd rather have it automated. As mentioned by other folks, you should use startup folder. Launch your app from startup folder, present them with whatever login dialog you wan ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce Install and Registry Changes

  Hi, We're working through the Certified for Vista Logo process and have struck an issue with one of the test cases. I'm referring to test case 15 which calls for a registry compare before and after install. The requirement is that there should be no changes to the registry during a ClickOnce install. We have found (and so has the testing authority) that changes do occur as the tools used (RegDump and RegDiff) show differences. Some changes seem to have to do with operating system stuff and don't relate to the install at all. I suppose those could be explained away. There are however a number of entries that seem to relate to the install. A small example: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1053833859-2623809191-2711474811-1003\Software\Classes ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS explorer on Vista RC2

  We're having problems with VSS on Vista RC2. I ran VSS explorer on Windows XP for years with no problems. Now on Vista the symptoms are: I can check out a file and it shows with my username as checked out. Within a few minutes the file listing will refresh and no longer show that I have it checked out - so I can't check it back in or undo my checkout. But if I look at properties for the file, it does show that I have it checked out. VSS will let me check it out a second time, and then properties shows I have it checked out twice. At this point, I can check both copies back in from the "checkout history" tab and it will merge any changes and things are okay. But this behavior is terrible. Any idea what I'm doing wrong Is there a ...Show All

• .NET Development Updating Database

  I am using VB.Net 2003.  I've just switched my dB from Access to SQL I have a tab control with two tabs on it..  One for the Billing address, and the other for a shipping address. On the Shipping Address Tab I have a button that will copy the data from the fields on the Billing Address tab. This all works fine. Now the code below is what I am expecting to write the data back to the dB. But it doesn't. In fact, when I press the button to copy the data to the Shipping Tab and then I change to the Billing tab and back again, the data on the Shipping tab has been wiped out and the fields are blank.  so I guess I actually have to different problems.... any help would be appreciated.  thanks Private ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Compatibility with the ageia physx card

  Hi, does anyone know if XNA GSE is or will be compatible with the Ageia PhysX card from http://www.ageia.com/physx/ thanks Alan Your question is incorrect. The hardware compatibility is the OS task. All you need is the set of drivers from the OS or hardware manufacturer. Of course, Windows XP supports Ageia PhysX cards in this sense. But it merely means The OS recognises the hardware in a way your program may have access to the card features, usually through the specific API. But if you ask "Does the XNA have native support  to produce the physics simulation meaning  the Ageia products " the right answer is No. As Joel says, you can use the third part ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Why do my programs take up loads of RAM?

  When I run a program that I made, it seems to take up to 30,000Kb of RAM, which does not seem right seeing that these programs are usually skeleton programs.
