• Software Development for Windows Vista ASF writing to memory

  Hello I have a DirectShow app that uses the ASF writer to capture video from a webcam and write it to a file. I was wondering if there is way to write the data to a memory buffer instead of a file. My application will upload the file, so I will be happy not to use the file system. Thanks Ran. There may be a way (probably is), but I'm not sure what it might be. Grabber the raw samples as they go by is easy. However, there's more to an asf file than that. Are you sure that the fs is really going to be a bottleneck here If you are uploading, I would expect the link speed to be your limiting factor. Not sure you'd get much (if any) speed improvements from writing to memory. ...Show All

• SQL Server Optimize "LIKE"

  It's bad enough that SQL CE 2.0 doesn't support views, when I use "LIKE" in a SELECT statement (eg., SELECT ... WHERE fldname LIKE '%word%'), the response is terrible to the point that it doesn't come back. In my case, the 'word' can be anywhere in 'fldname'. How do you optimize the LIKE operator I created an index on the field but it didn't make a bit of difference. Thank you. You can optimize like by not having a wildcard (% or ) at the beginning of the search argument. Using '%word%' will always scan every row in the entire table. Hope this assists. ...Show All

• Windows Forms the last checkbox that I click doest update the property to which it s bound

  Hi, I have few checboxes bound to my class properties: chk1 bound to propty1 chk2 bound to propty2 chk3 bound to propty3 .... The checkboxes are in a multi-tab child form and the child form is part of an MDI. The child form has 3 tabs. when I check off the chk1, chk2 and chk3 and I click a button on my MDI toolbar, only the previous properties propty1 and propty1 get updated but not the last checkbox that I just clicked : propty3. For propty3 to be also updated I always have to change the active tab, then go back again to the previous tab so all the properties (instead of only the first ones) get updated according to their bound checkboxes. All I do is the binding like this: myForm.chkBox1.DataBindings.Add ...Show All

• SQL Server Change of Execution plan

  Hi, We migrated our database from SQL Server 2000 to Yukon last week. Now, when we run our application it has slowed down. We analyzed some stored procedure and they seems to have degarded. The execution plan has changed. Now, this looks like there's lot of work if we have to tune each query w.r.t the new execution plan. Our application has around 4000 stored procs.

Need help on this, otherwise it seems we might have to move back to 2000. Thanks in Advance Ritesh ...Show All
