• Audio and Video Development Client display of Stream from Windows Media Encoder

  Is there a means in Media Foundation to render from a stream over ip We are needing to display the stream created from windows media encoder without a large buffering delay. The delay needs to be at most 2-3 seconds. Using the media player control has a delay of up 15 seconds. Well, if your machines are running Windows XP, then Media Foundation (which is on Vista only) isn't going to be a viable option anyways. I might recommend posting this question on the Windows Media Encoder newsgroup: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/default.mspx dg=microsoft.public.windowsmedia.encoder&lang=en&cr=US ...Show All

• SQL Server MS Access' IIF function in a MS SQL Server view

  I am translating some of my Access queries to SQL views. In one of those, I had a very convenient function called "IIF" (e.g. IIf(IsNull([Remark]),"NULL","NOT NULL"). How is this function called in the MS SQL Server 2000 Apparently I cannot use either "IIF" nor "CASE" in the query/view..... I'm used to using COALESCE instead of ISNULL, so that's what I was thinking (but it still won't help his problem).  You should be able to use CASE in a view. Maybe he was thinking from the Access query.   ...Show All

• SQL Server .NET Runtime Optimization error on SQL Server 2005

  I posted this on the .NET Framework inside Sql Server forum as well.  Sorry if the cross-post offends anybody. I upgraded my primary production server this morning to SQL 2005.  Everything went fairly smoothly, but a couple of hours after my installation was complete, I found the following error in my event log:   Source: .NET Runtime Optimization Service EventID: 1101 .NET Runtime Optimization Service (clr_optimization_v2.0.50727_32) - Failed to compile: Microsoft.ReportingServices.QueryDesigners, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91 .

• .NET Development OleDbDataAdapter, Fill, Update, CommandBuilder and PrimaryKeys

  Hi again, I used to change my database-tables using an OleDbDataAdapter, filling a DataTable with the table-data, change it and call Update again to save the changes. This was easily possible with the help of a CommandBuilder. No I've got the problem that a table has no primarykey and i can't define it because there are no (not even mutliple-column) unique entries.     m_dbAdptrRemedies = new OleDbDataAdapter("","Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + m_RemediesFilename);     m_dbAdptrRemedies.SelectCommand.CommandText ="SELECT * FROM tMittelListe";     new OleDbCommandBuilder(m_dbAdptrRemedies); So how do i update my changes in the DataTable to the database ...Show All

• SQL Server Which method to use for synchronization?

  I have three options in my mind to synchronize my data of sql server compact edition with sql server 2000/sql server 2005. 1)Merge Replication 2)Remote Data Access 3)Web Service All the data would be residing on Sql server 2000/2005 and user will get their data after being authenticated and will change the data and add new data and then again will synchronize with server with new changes. Please suggest me solution, my opinion is going towards Web service. Thanks Hi! Thanks for all replies. I chose merge for my application. I have quite a lot of data and realized that merge is the way to go because I sync in both ends. The db is about 3 mb big now, 12 tables. I realized that instead o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Get The text of Words from a word document

  This may be a topic for some other group, but this group gets replies faster then then Automation or some other Word groups, so maybe someone here knows this. I really want to thank Cindy for pointing me in the right direction for what I wanted to do. I ended up using the DsoFramer control to host my word doc, and now I have the document loaded, when I first saw the Word.Document.Words collection, I thought cool a collection of string variables for words. Microsoft would never make it so easy. Does anyone know how I access the words in the document, and highlight a word that matches my search criteria (similiar to the way Google highlights your results). I am heading to the book store to buy an Office book next, but if someone has ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual SourceSafe and VB

  Hi, I recently purchased visual SourceSafe 2005...and I was hoping to get some help from any kind person! I created a 'test vb project' just for experience and to to edit it in SourceSafe. Then I right-clicked the same project (__.vb) and chose 'add this file to SourceSafe...(the little folder picture with the green plus icon next to it). I then closed vb and re-opened SourceSafe. I saw my project on SourceSafe and deleted it and I closed SourceSafe.

• Audio and Video Development Using external style sheets

  Is there a way to use external style sheets without having to use include for the styling section of the markup file XSS My idea is to have the same menu markup file for 2 menus with slightly different styling. Well, in theory you would do it via a GPRM (I was mistaken when I said script would work -- you can't set XPath variables until the markup is loaded, but the expression is only evaluated before the markup is fully loaded!) Unfortunately HDiSim has some bugs with the include attribute where it expects a nodeset rather than a boolean... so right now it looks like an include for the body is the easiest thing to do. ...Show All
