• Windows Live Developer Forums Do I need to uninstall MSN Messenger before installing WLM?

  Hi, I have no clue where to post this, I'm taking a chance and post this here. I apologize if this is not the right place. I have a quick question about the installation process. Is it recommended to uninstall MSN Messenger v7.5 first before installing Windows Live Messenger I have read the FAQ but could not find an answer. Thank you. No, just install as normal. It will remove MSN Messenger and replace it with Windows Live Messenger. There is no need to uninstall it as the installation will do it for you. ...Show All

  When I use the qWAVE API QOSQueryFlow, a problem occurs. UINT64 rate; ULONG Size=sizeof(UINT64); bool b=QOSQueryFlow(QOSHandle, FlowId, QOSQueryOutgoingRate,//QOSQueryFlowRate, &Size, (PVOID) &rate, QOS_QUERYFLOW_FRESH, NULL); If I set parameters to query the bandwidth with QOSQueryFlowFundamentals, The function succeeds.

You're correct chunkai. The QOSQueryOutgoingRate api call returns the outgoing shaping rate of the flow as specified throu ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Creating an exe from the Project Builder

  Hello, I have finished my firs application and I have troubles with generating an exe to be installed in the customer’s PC.

• Windows Forms .NET 2.0 Changing the Select Command of a DataAdapter

  This may be a dumb question, but here goes. I have a grid with companies in in from a database. I have a combo box that I want to be populated with the permit numbers for these companies when I select on from the datagrid. To me I would think I would need to just change the Select Command of the dataadapter for the combobox to do this, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to. Am I just overlooking something or what Please Help The tableadapter is a partial class that you can extend. The class has an variable _adapter which is a data adapter. In this sample on the vb-tips website I added the ContinueUpdateOnError property to the table adapter. You can use the same technique to expose the selectcomm ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Animation Keyframes return broken data

  I'm using the content pipeline, and enhancing the mesh processor to attach animation information in the Tag, so that I can animate imported meshes. It seems that the animation keyframes return broken data when importing from .X files. They seem to duplicate the first key (with time and everything), and then fail to include the last key. This makes making an animated game challenging. Here is an example from an animation with 41 frames, ranging from 0.0 to 1.33333: In the .X file: AnimationKey rot { 0; 41; 0;4;1.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000;;, 160;4;0.996917,0.000000,0.000000,-0.078459;;, 320;4;0.987688,0.000000,0.000000,-0.156435;;, 480;4;0.972370,0.000000,0.000000,-0.233445;;, 640;4;0.951056,0.000000,0.000000,-0.3 ...Show All

• Commerce Server Base/virtual catalogs and related products

  Hi all, I am attempting to determine the best way to set up base and virtual catalogs and I'm having some confusion on how the related products are being handled. We have a base catalog containing all of our available products. Originally we also had our related products defined there, but when we went to add products to a virtual catalog, it used the related products from the base... but didn't allow you to remove the relationship in the virtual catalog (which we might need to do if a related product isn't contained in this catalog). Soooo... because of this, does that mean related products are typically defined in the virtual catalog instead What if you want to create a virtual catalog that is a subset of another virtual catalog You w ...Show All

• Visual C# Using an OLE object without having the TLB

  I have a 3rd party EXE that exposes some OLE functionality, but no TLB. In VB I can access it with: Dim MW as Object, MyStr as String Set MW = GetObject(,"MixW.Application") MyStr = MW.Mode ... etc. It works similarly in Delphi using type OleVariant for the object type. So far I have not been able to do the equivalent in C#. How can I access the COM object in C# without the type-library Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. If this can't be done, that's enough to rule out C# for most of my work. Thank you for the reply, but I already had tried that. TLBIMP does not show any methods, so there is no way to access the object. In VB it works perfectly. My guess is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Preserving sub-branches

  I am using branches in TFS for a couple of reasons. The first is to maintain branches for each release so that if we get issues on our production application we can address them without picking up all the latest changes for the next release in development. The second use of branches is to maintain shared code between projects - e.g. I have some javascript files that are common to a couple of different web projects and also some Asp.Net user controls that are common, so I use branch and merge to keep these synced between the different projects. The problem I have is that when I create a new branch for my first purpose (i.e. create the branches/2.0 branch once 2.0 goes into production) I lose the branches that were created for my second purp ...Show All
