• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MediaElement in Streaming Scenarios

  I asked this question in another thread and did not really get an answer. I'm not sure if it was because I was in the wrong area so i'll ask it again. Is there any way to get access to properties and events related to the current media being played by the player. In a scenario where one is streaming media, I cant seem to find a way to get this information for display purposes. What the heck am I to do ! WPF does not provide any metadata APIs for Media (audio/video). If you are interested in these properties, please look at the WMP SDK. ...Show All

How do I that without making the image transparent as well Thanks ahead of time Only set the TransparencyKey with the color that you want becomes trasparent. If your image has a white color, set it to white color. ...Show All

• SQL Server FTP Connection Manager: Set FTP password using a variable

  Hi, I want to setup an FTP task that is portable in the sense that all it's connection parameters are stored in variables. I can create expressions for properties ServerName and ServerUserName but not the ServerUserpassword.  Is there an property that I missed, there seems to be properties for everything else except the key piece of info, the password.

• SQL Server sql 2005 Maintenance Plan Issue

• Visual C# Get window handle

  Hi All, Is there any possibility of getting the handles of all windows which are present in the taskbar. I need to track down which window is being closed and display a message stating the file name of the closed window. You want to get all the system processes and iterate through them checking the Process.MainWindowTitle if the string is empty then the process *probably* doesn't have a visible window. This code will fill a List of all the handles: Process [] processes = Process .GetProcesses(); List < IntPtr > windowHandles = new List < IntPtr >(); foreach ( Process process in processes) { if (process.MainWindowTitle != string .Empty) { windowHandles.Add(process.H ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Configuration Service Providers & CM_PPPEntries: how to specify extra parameters

  Hello, I'm working on an extension of an existing order entry application running on Windows Mobile. The extension allows the automatic configuration of email and internet connection - and I've done them using the Configuration Service Providers CM_PPPEntries and EMAIL2, and the DMProcessConfigXML API. Now the customer asked me if it's possible to configure in CM_PPPEntries parameters such as the baud rate, the "Wait for dial tone before dialing" flag and the extra dial-string modem commands (as defined in the advanced settings using the connection wizard applet). Is this possible Thanks Antonio These are set using RAS API or TAPI. The CM_PPPEntries provider can also set them via DevSp ...Show All

• Windows Forms Data Not Saving In Calculated Field

  I have a textbox that is populated from a calculated variable. The textbox populates ok but when I save the data, the textbox resets to zero and saves to the database as zero. All of the other data on the form saves appropriately. The data is originally binded as: ctl.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Text", usmDataSet_est1.Tables["cabinet"], ctl.Name, true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged)); I'm setting the text property of the calculated value with: private void populateAreaTextBox(string First, string Last, Control ctl) { string sArea = Convert.ToString(Decimal.Round(calcArea(), 2)); ctl.Text = sArea; } What could be the problem The textbox is read-only.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Welcome!

     Welcome to this new forum, which is part of the SharePoint forums group that contains a comprehensive set of forums designed to cover all aspects of SharePoint Products and Technologies. I’ve held off on having these forums created for over a year because we already had a handful of newsgroups in place, but the benefits (search, moderation, filtering, stats, flexibility, planned enhancements, etc.) and the recent surge in usage have convinced me that it’s finally the right time to embrace forums as the de facto channel for community Q&A and discussion .      This particular forum is for topics about Excel Services capabilities in Office SharePoint Server.

• SQL Server Ho to make data source web method execute once per a report?

  My report works with XMLDP data provider and obtains source data as a result of a web method call. This memthod returns all data necessary for the report. Thus, all of about 20 report datasets query the same web method with the same parameters and then select appropriate data with different ElementPath expressions.

• Internet Explorer Development window.close in javascript

  I'm writing an extension using ATL/COM. When clicking on the button, a new browser window with a form pops up, and when the form is submitted, the server returns a page to close the window using javascript window.close method. The pop up window is created through CoCreateInstance function, and thus when window.close is called from script, the browser prompts the user whether let the script close window or not. Yes we can set window.opener to null in ie6, but this no longer works in ie7. I tried to process the WindowClosing event, but it seems only be fired when the window being closed by script is created by script. I looked at del.icio.us's script in the pop up window, and found that they're just using one line: window.close() ...Show All
