Audio and Video Development Missing WMCreateWriter in wmvcore.lib
wmvcore.lib shipped with DirectShow (included in the latest PSDK) doesn't list many functions exported by wmvcore.dll (e.g. WMCreateWriter). Does anybody know the reason for this and where I can obtain wmvcore.lib that matches wmvcore.dll I have code that was working and now it appears that there is no way to compile/link this code. Can you (i.e. MS) just post the import library for now, so that people like myself would be able to at least build our existing code until you sort out this issue BTW, this looks like a blunder on MS' part. How can one forget to ship a library ...Show All
SQL Server XML reserved chars
consider this short T-SQL snippet: it fails because instruction set @m = '<boom' contains an illegal char: declare @m nvarchar(255) set @m = '<boom' declare @msgs nvarchar(max) set @msgs = '<test1>'+@m+'</test1>' declare @x xml set @x = @msgs Anyone knows a way to automatically or manually convert '<boom' into '<boom' when I assign to an xml datatype something like that: set @msgs = '<test1>'+PREPARE_FOR_XML(@m)+'</test1>' TIA I've tried the CDATA and I'm surprised of what happens: if you run the following statement declare @m nvarchar(255) set @m = '<boom' declare @msgs nvarchar(max) set @msgs = '<test1>'+ '<![CDATA[' + @m +']]>'+'</test1>' dec ...Show All

Windows Forms in-place editor for data grid?
In the ColumnType property of a data grid view, there is a dropdown list of choices, including a check box, combo box, etc. I did not see one for a text editor, and don't know how to add one. I have seen 3rd party grids with things called Memo Panels and Memo Editors that, when invoked in the active cell, pop up a sizable text editing window, which is really essential for editing memo fields. Is there something like this that I am missing in the VS 2005 toolbox ...Show All
Windows Forms How to set a C # form never be focused, but still get the event message?
As my last thread article " How to set a C # form never be focused ". The solution is as follows, nobugz wrote: Add this code to the form: private const int WM_MOUSEACTIVATE = 0x0021; private const int MA_NOACTIVATEANDEAT = 0x0004; protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) { if (m.Msg == WM_MOUSEACTIVATE) { m.Result = (IntPtr)MA_NOACTIVATEANDEAT; return; } base.WndProc(ref m); } This solution is eating the "WM_MOUSEACTIVATE", returning MA_NOACTIVATEANDEAT, and not passing m to base.WndProc(ref m).

Software Development for Windows Vista Removing service subscriptions for non-guaranteed events?
I'm writing a workflow service to watch for file changes, which implemented the following interface (note: correlation attributes not shown for clarity): [ExternalDataExchange] interface IFileSystemWatcher { event EventHandler<FileWatcherServiceEventArgs> FileSystemEvent; void Watch(string directory, string filter, WatcherChangeTypes changeTypes); } I have derived an activity from CallExternalMethodActivity to set the subscription up on the service by calling the Watch method (internally in the service this creates a FileSystemWatcher and stores it in a hashtable with other details about the subscription), and another from HandleExternalEventActivity to handle the FileSystemEvent event. It's all working fine, the events are ...Show All
SQL Server Datamining Viewer Client Problem
