• Visual C# Playing cd's with mci question

  I am trying to write some code to play a CD from a drive and the user can indicate what track to play. I should be using this format, as far as I know: mciSendString("open cdaudio", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero); mciSendString("play cdaudio from 3:00:00:00 to 4:00:00:00", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero); So this would play from the 3rd track to the 4th. This does not work, it seems to start in the middle of the first track or the track that I want to paly (3). Any advice Thanks :-) see if the documentation helps... http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms709492.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms707322.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib ...Show All

• Visual Basic Redistribution

  How does one redistribute PrintForm Are we limited to the provided installers Regards, - Mike Hi - Sorry I didn't realize this thread took a new direction on the EULA for print form. You can find the EULA in the install directory for the component, e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Power Packs\PrintForm 1.0\Setup\EULA.rtf The other EULA you are pointing to above is for something else. We're still talking about license for PrintForm, right If yes, I think this is well written enough to understand the bottom line. Here is the first paragraph (I encourage you to still read it all): " Microsoft license to User for Use of the Toolkit This license governs ...Show All

• .NET Development Authenticating client using SSLStream

  I have seen the MSDN sample code for implementing SSL in a TCP client/server application (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.security.sslstream.aspx) I then wanted to add the 'optional' client authentication piece to this sample by changing the client to use: I Added: X509CertificateCollection X509Coll = new X509CertificateCollection(); I Added: X509Coll.Add(new X509Certificate(@"c:\Projects\SSLStreamClient.cer")); I Changed: sslStream.AuthenticateAsClient(serverName, X509Coll, SslProtocols.Tls, false); it originally was: s slStream.AuthenticateAsClient(serverName); I created SSLStreamClient.cer using makecert.exe and placed it in CurrentUser.Personal and in CurrentUser.Trusted Root Certi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Anyone else Agree - Missing Event?

  I was just wondering or agrees or... even... disagrees. Why is there no 'StateChanged' event There is event for Started, Completed, Terminated, but not the main event I , personally, would think would make the most sense: StateChanged Anyone else think this would very much be a benefit to workflows in general Especially, if the event included the option for a generic<T> object to be passed in the event. Again... a newbie just sharing his "two-cents". Trevor We do report all state changed in the workflow instance via explicit events in the runtime events and the tracking events. Can you elaborate more on what do you mean by "StateChanged" event And what value added ...Show All

  Ok, so I have model rendering working with custom effects thanks to the help of members here. The problem I have now is that if I use the effects generated by the FX Composer (Nvidia product,) my models always render at 0,0,0. Here is the code I'm using to render models with a custom effect called "SimpleEffect": public void DrawModel( int index, Vector3 trans, Vector3 rot, Vector3 scale, float aspectRatio, Camera camera, GraphicsDeviceManager graphics ) { int iMeshCount = 0; int iEffectCount = 0; Matrix world; // Sanity check if (myModel[index] == null) { return; } //Copy any parent transforms Matrix[] transforms = new Matrix[myModel[index].Bones.Count]; myModel[index].CopyAbsoluteBoneTransformsTo(tran ...Show All

  Hi, I am trying to compile a DX10 program with a LCC based C99 compatible compiler. It works fine with DirectX 9, but with DirectX 10 I get an error message in the dxgi.h header in line 287 that says: "Missing Parameter type '__RPC__deref_out'" This error repeats then a couple of times, because it is quite often in the file.
