• Visual Studio Express Editions Validating info from a serial port

  Im trying to validate some info from a serial device such as version info, but I’m EXTREAMLY new to programming so I cant figure out, first if I should try to pull the data out of the terminal window with the richtextbox.find or use something like serialport.equals or stringcompare. If any one knows where I could get a gentile nudge in the right direction that would be great. Ok to explain what I’m doing I’m working with a device that does gps and when it first powers up it gives the firmware version I am making a small app to change some of the settings but I would like to validate some other info from the device as I do it. I'm not sure if serial ports are a good way to get started when you're new ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Step by Step Cue volume sample request

  Hi, I just can't figure how to set the volume of a given Cue instance. I want one specific instance of a sound (ex: player 1 laser volume@50% , player 2 laser volume@80% ). I saw only one post giving a very light explanation, which was: a) you should create a cue "Volume" variable in XACT (that I can do) b) link that variable to the sound Volume ( how ) c) set the volume programmatically. I suppose SetVariable("Volume",0.5) will do it once XACT is properly set up. Thanks Freds72 You can do it like You say. Create cue instance variable "Volume", add RPC preset linking Sound:Volume with this variable. Attach sounds to that preset (important!). Then ...Show All

• .NET Development CLR and thread deadlocks

  Hello, I'm hosting the CLR (.NET 2.0) in an unmanaged C++ app. The CLR is used for calling C# plugin functions through IDispatch. The C# plugins are COM visible classes and are created from the app main UI thread. They are mostly used for accessing the app through a COM primary interop assembly generated with TLBIMP.EXE. The interop between C# and the app is achieved through the default Microsoft COM wrappers. This is all working fine but I'm having a problem when the C# functions are called by the app from a worker thread. At this point the CLR attempts to interop with the app via the UI main thread which is causing a deadlock because that thread is locked while the worker thread is executing. From what I see in the call stack (b ...Show All

• Visual C# Math: Round up number. eg 1234 / 50 = 6

  I have a dataGrid and i wish to produce page buttons for next and back. Therfore i need to know how many pages i will need to for my data Eg, i have 1234 rows of data and each page will contain 50 rows. So 1234 / 50 = 24.68. So I need 25 pages How do i round up a number so 1234 / 50 = 25 . Thanks. Paul Everyone here is missing the fact that 1234/50 will be executed as an integer divide, automatically truncating to the lower integer. Now, what we really want is the next higher integer, which is always just the lower plus one. So given int Rows = 1234; in RowsInPg = 50; then int Pages = (Rows / RowsInPg) +1; will given you the number you want --- with the one exception. If t ...Show All

• .NET Development Server app on Windows XP Home

  I need to develop a server application that can run on Windows XP Home. I would like to utilize SSL for security. After reading a number of posts I ourused in this forum I am curious if I could use HTTPS protocol (HttpListener class) without IIS Initially, I was thinking of just using sockets, but previous posts seem to suggest that http being a higher level protocol supports SSL with greater built-in functionality. Also, my clients will not necessarily be Microsoft specific, only the server piece can claim this fact. Thanks MDA There is no need for IIS. These operating systems have a HTTP kernel-mode driver, http.sys. This class is available only on computers running the Window ...Show All
