• Visual Studio Express Editions "WINDOWS KEYPRESS" - How to detect a KeyAscci in Windows?

  That's my question...i want my aplication response to a keyascci in any moment(im in if are not selected the aplication). Thank you for reed and try. I just tested the code and it works for me. This works to bring the application to the front when it is minimized or not the current application. It is not designed to launch the application if it has not started. Is that what you were asking I have seen some fullscreen games that force themselves to stay on top. Have you tested by hot-key pressing with a normal application in front ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Xbab applications not running from the internet

  Hi there, I am trying to run an xbap application from this URL http://www.valil.com/winfx/Valil.Chess.WinFX.xbap (other xbab apps from the internet are not running either e.g http://www.charlespetzold.com/wpf/JeuDeTacquin/JeuDeTacquin.xbap ) IE 6 gives me an error message and wont let me run the app even though I have added the site as a trusted site.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 1280x720 For Space War??!?!?

  OK... maybe it's just me but... The SpaceWar starter kit requires that the machine is capable of 3D display of 1280x720 isn't that a little bit big for normal users For an actual game, yes that would be appropraite for the 360 and high end systems. But SpaceWar is supposed to be a starter kit demonstration for students and beginner programmers to learn with, most normal notebooks which students around my area carry only supports displays of up to 1024x720 and with rudimentary graphics acceleration. The aging Toshiba M200 which I use have a GeforceFX but it also can't muster up a 3D display of 1280x720 (code died trying to run). I changed the code so that the window would be smaller, but the whole game seems to be hard coded to wor ...Show All

• .NET Development Regex problems

  Hi all, I'm having problems with Regex, or more accurately trying to find the right expression to use. Basically I've opened up a text file, and I'm reading in the lines, and at a certain point I need to get a certain part of the line. the line I'm trying to read is: Color [Lime] Reading the line is no problem, but what I want to do is extract the word between the brackets(there are two different lines in the file that I want to read) so that I can assign it to a textbox color. I've tried some different expressions like "Color [(.* )]" and "/\Color \[(.* )\]" which have failed miserably. Does anyone have any suggestions The code I have at the moment is Regex *regex = new Regex(S"Color [(.* )]"); St ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Getting frames from a video clip

  Hi, Im pretty new to multimedia programming, and have a (at least what i think should be) a simple question. Is there an easy way to get the video data, frame by frame, from a video file, say avi Ive been thinking about DirectShow, but im not sure that is the right path to go. The application that need this feature is written in C#. // Henrik What I'm going to give you is a mostly-non-MF answer. First off, Media Foundation today is unmanaged only. Media Foundation does have a way to get at the contents of a file directly, albeit asynchronously -- this is called a Media Source -- but as of Windows Vista, MF natively supports only WMV (/WMA/ASF) and MP3 formats, not things like AVI.

• Visual Studio Referencing custom environment variables in MSBuild.

  Hello, Ultimately all I want to do is set an environment variable with a value, so it can be referenced within my Build script. Sounds easy I know, but I can’t find an answer anywhere to this problem. Summarised below are the steps which I am currently taking to achieve my goal: Set environment variable in DOS (i.e. SET TEST=TEST1). Type SET to ensure the variable had been created, which it has. In my build script write a target to reference the newly created environment variable. < Target Name = " ReferenceEnvironmentVariable " > < Message Text = " TEST1= $(TEST1) " /> </ Target > I invoke the above target by ...Show All

• .NET Development Reading the first half of a split record with C#

  Hi, I have a record that has a fixed length of 253 characters. The record is split into multiple sub- records each of a different length. The first sub-record has a minimum length of 125 and I need to process only this. Doing something like this : if(record. length > 124){ //process record } will work for records that have a minimum first sub-record length of 129 as subsequent sub-records will be <= 124 (253-129 = 124) and will be skipped. But in a case, where the the record is split into 126 and 127, the above code will not work as it will read both the sub-records ( and I need only the one that is 126). Can somebody tell me how I can solve this problem and read only the first sub-record . Thanks much!! ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) WPF/e vs. HTML

  After reading Mike Harsh's blog post What WPF/e Really is . I'm kind of disappointed with the approach that the Architects are taking with WPF/e, as in that it augments HTML instead of replacing it. Why not Personaly I find that HTML slows me down in producing rich content for my users (something that WPF promises). Sure its easy, its fast, and we should keep it (not every website needs rotating letters). However, as I see .NET being used -alot- for mission critical application, I would only EXPECT WPF/e to take the fore front and upgrading the way we provide commericial services on the Internet in a fast, uniform way. Flash is doing this, Flex is not 'augmenting' the Web, its rewriting it. Share your thoughts. ...Show All
