• Software Development for Windows Vista MultiVMR9 output copy

  I've finally been able to mix a few videos using the sample code from the MultiVMR9, get the control over my separate inputs, etc. Now I need to output it to another monitor as well as the preview window I'm using. The sample is not real clear (or I am just totally confused now), about how to have the output go to more than one place at the same time. I can get a handle to a window on the second monitor ok, but not sure how to add that into the allocator/presenter, or even if that is the correct way to do it. Anybody do this before A solution that works to get a copy to a secondary monitor on my laptop is the following : using the same device , create an additional swap chain, using your& ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro How to handle transaction consisting of different data sources?

  I want to know how to handle transaction consisting of different data sources (e.g. VFP dbfs and MS SQL tables). Thanks, Peter Hi Craig, Thanks for the post. I will check your website for the updated article. In my case, I have a VFP application which is using VFP data and another VFP application which is using SQL Server tables. Now, I want to add a module from the VFP (SQL tables) application into the VFP (VFP tables) application. So, for some transactions, I will need to update both VFP data and SQL Server tables together. If I understand correctly, transaction involves only 1 statement handle. By using DTC, transaction can involve multiple statement handles. Peter ...Show All

• SQL Server detecting & deleting duplicates in batch vs proc

  I know how to detect & delete dups/or >dups in test with a select clause, this works fine in a small table, but if the table has a million rows say, it sounds like a proc would be faster:  my question is:  How do I display those rows in a proc for detecting what the problem is.  The print stmt. doesn't seem to work and I wondered if I had to go through the process of building an output stream.  The proc creates okay but I'm stuck after that part. thx Kat  -- very rough code below   SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO create proc dupcount @count int as set nocount on select categoryID,  CategoryName,  Count(*) As Dups  from Categories group by Categoryid, Cate ...Show All

• .NET Development querying datasets

  hi everbody, How to select specfic columns from a datatable in Dataset I want to select specific columns not all in datatable ,please help. Waiting for reply. Thanks Vrushali Hi, I am not clear what you want to do exactly saying "select column"... Do you mean to access specific column from DataTable If so then, DataTable has DataColumnCollection exposed as "Columns" property and you can access perticular column by index or giving column name, So e.g., you can get specific column by: dataTable1.Columns[0]   this will give you first column from table as DataColumn class. dataTable1.Columns["CustomerID"] for example, this will give you CustomerID column from data table. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Passing data between separate applications

  Previously, I employed the use of CEvent objects as a trigger to produce synchronized operation of two separate projects. Now, I have to figure out out to feed hardware acquired data from one application, into the analysis application which was synchronously started. I know this is a rather poor setup since acquisition and analysis should happen within the same app, but in this case, the latter was handled by another dev group. I do know is that the CEvent object can be set and reset to signal change, but is it possible to use it to pass values I need to pass water level readings so naturally its a double (float64). I'm not too sure if there's already an existing post for this too, or even if CEvent is not the right method to use in this c ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Remote Desktop still an issue

  According to some MS documents (e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/vista/services.mspx), it should be possible to use CreateProcessAsUser() API in a Vista service to create a process in user session. I am trying to achive this, but the function returns error code 1307 (ERROR_INVALID_OWNER) = "This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object." Does it work for somebody Many thanks in advance. 123 is ERROR_INVALID_NAME ("The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"). Check the command line / exe path you are passing it. Also, keep in mind that Local System does not have privileges to access network paths, and does not have the mapped drives t ...Show All

• SQL Server update statement

  Newbie Question: Im trying to update a table column to a new value and I receive an error, here is my statement: USE PD51_Data; GO UPDATE CASENUMBERS SET CaseNumTypeID = 130 WHERE CaseNumTypeID = 101 AND CaseNumber BETWEEN 199999 AND 600001; GO I receive this error Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '9368----' to data type int.

• Windows Search Technologies Indexing Mapped Drives

  In my options there is no listing of mapped networked drives for indexing. Is there a reason for this. How do I get mapped drives to be indexed so they can be searched This did the trick Gerald, thanks for your help. Can I make a suggestion for the new Administrator's guide, that you can put in an example of the format needed for this field Or even better yet, whoever is in charge of putting in the descriptions in the ADM templates, to say that they need to be in the format of otfs://{*}/<servername>/<path>/* I doubt I'd be the only person that assumed it would be in the format of "G:" or "\\servername\share" considering these options both work when manually selecting th ...Show All

• Visual C++ different number of errors after building and rebuilding

  hello, i have just started using vc8 and have migrated a bunch of code from vc6. i am new to vc++ in general. i was wondering if anyone could explain what exactly happens with my code when i build as opposed to when i rebuild the code bcos i get a different number of errors each time i build then rebuild and vice versa. thanks in advance. I'm a bit prone to novels - but I'll try and keep this brief, sorry! Firstly, it depends on whether you've got minimal rebuild on. Fire up VS2005 MSDN and filter by Visual C++, then type minimal rebuild into the index box. With it switched off, there's pratically no difference, except the rebuild option will clean your output directory for the project before ...Show All
