• Smart Device Development Class Library for Compact and Desktop

  I want to create a business class library that will be used by both WM5 applications and desktop applications. The class library contains finance functions and the code will be completely independent of the device the application calling it is running on. The applications themselves will be different (at least on WM5 application and one desktop application). What is the best practice to create and manage the development of the class library. Should I just create a compact framework class library project and us it in both applications. Or should I create a compact framework class library project and a normal class library project and in each project include the same source code files -Darrell The bes ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Need to know if uploading with VB Express app is possible.

  Hi I have a copy of Visual Basic Express 2005 and I am currently writing an application that has to upload images to my domain into a specified folder. The problem is that everything I have been reading a researching on this hasnt helped me. I have used "My.Computer.Network.UploadFile" and have also tried the "System.Web.UI.WebControls.FileUpload.SaveAs" and both dont seem to want to work. the latter simply tells me that UI is not a member of System.Web The first one seems to work on pretty much all the methods such as "ping,IsAvailable" etc, but doesnt seem to work for uploading or downloading. My file paths are correct, the server is up and running and I am connected to the internet when I run the debug ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista [MDX1.1 / C# / DirectShow] Fast native memcopy from SampleBufferCB to Offscreen Surface

  Hello, I'm doing the following thing and I'm wondering, whether there is a faster way doing it in .Net: I have a DirectShow Graph with a SampleGrabber Callback installed, for getting the uncompressed image data of a arbitrary compressed videostream. I have a ringbuffer containing previsously created Offscreen Surfaces, to which the grabbed image data is first copied to and later (in a separated thread) is displayed on a DirectX Surface. I've chosen to do it this way: public int SampleBufferCB(double SampleTime, IntPtr cbBuffer, int Len) { try { GraphicsStream gs = sfc.LockRectangle(LockFlags.Discard); if (gs.Length > Len) MoveMemory(gs.InternalData, cbBuffer, Len); / ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Disable events in userform

  Is there a way to disable Userform events within Userform code I am trying to dynamically set scrollbar.max without triggering the Scrollbar_Change event procedure. This is strange because I have just tried the same technique within my code and set breakpoints to track code incrementally and I find that dynamically setting the scrollbar.max triggers the scrollbar_change event within my form. Which version of Excel are you using I am using Excel 2003. (Incidentally, setting the scrollbar.max within the Form_Initialize procedure is also triggering the Scrollbar_change as would be consistent with dynamically changing the scrollbar.max.)

• Visual Studio Javascript Debugging With IE7

  Hello, I have ran across an issue debugging an ASP.Net page after installing IE7 on my development machine and I have not been able to find a solution. I am using Visual Studio 2003 and I am no longer able to access the rendered source (including embedded javascript which is emitted in the code behind) using Debug -> Windows ->Running Documents -> Page.aspx When I click on the running page in the Running Documents , all that displays is the source page and not the page that is running in the browser. Doing these same steps in IE6 worked fine. Also, note that the debugger statement does break but only shows the source page (not the running page) in Visual Studio and places the break at the end of the </html> tag. Therefor ...Show All

• .NET Development Date interoperability between Java and VB.Net

  Hello, first ever post on this forum. I am a beginner vb programmer who has been given the task of getting a 3rd party Java application to work with VB.Net. The WSDL we have been supplied contains date information that accepts nulls. The information passed is processed on the server side.I am trying to find a way to get VB.Net to send nulls to the wsdl. I have read on numerous sites that because in Java, dates are treated as reference values but in VB as value types that there is an issue. The company who supplied the WSDL are not willing to alter their structure and thus I am here asking if there is any way around this. Below is a snippet of one of the methods causing concern:- <operation name="retrieveIndividual" par ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem when accessing/enumerating MSMQ with .NET v1.1

  Hello, i am working with the MessageEnumerator class. I use the MessageEnumerator.MoveNext() method to enumerate through all the messages in a message queue. Depending on the content of each message i remove it from this queue or not with the MessageEnumerator.RemoveCurrent() method. Then i (try to) dequeue a new Message from my queue again with MoveNext(). The while-loop (should) work until there are messages in the queue.
