  Hi, I am a ASP.Net user, and with all of my stupidity I tried to change the IIS configre, didnt backed it up and now I cant find the "Defult" butten, I tried to remove it and add it again but it didnt restarted it. What shot i do Thank you all, Nadav Levintov. I see... you should check the Event Viewer for details on any errors that have occured. That should shed some light on what the problem is :) Also, you may have made changes in the web.config which is stored in your applications web directory. You could rename this file and see if it makes any difference. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Keydown/up/pressed events for a Form not firing

  I'm currently developing some software that has a form that should close when I press the escape key. I've tried to listen for Keyup events on the form, but it doensn't seem to register the keypresses. Any idea what might be awry The code I'm currently using is: private void Form1_KeyDown( object sender, KeyEventArgs e) {   if (e.KeyCode == Keys .Escape)   {     Close();   } } And the form's KeyPreview is set to True... However, if you have a cancel/close button on your form, you can choose it as a CancelButton (also a form's property). ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development uncompressed YUV to EVR

  Hi, I am writing a simple YUV media source to take in .yuv bytestreams and send it to the EVR. I have modified the MFT_Grayscale to act as a dummy transform to copy the yuv samples to the EVR. I am also using the playbackFX sample for the player. I'm having a problem with the player just showing a black screen, as if no samples are being sent to the EVR. I have verified that the samples are being processed in the dummy transform with the correct image size and attributes for my given yuv sample. I have tried other yuv samples and all just display a black screen, but the samples are being processed for sure. Is there any way to debug this to see if the samples are being sent to the EVR Or does anyone have any clues why this is happeni ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Outlook Add-In not loading outside of VS2005

  I created a Add-In project using the Add-In for Outlook 2003 project template. I started with some simple code to test functionality and then continued to create the add-in I wanted. During development I always tested using the debug in VS2005. I never had a problem with it appearing this way. However, now that I am trying to deploy the Add-In, I am unable to get the Setup project to work. Even on my own machine, once the setup project is installed, the add-in does not load. I created a simple MessageBox.Show("hello") add-in to see if I had introduced the issue. However, this add-in behaved the same. I could always run it in VS2005; however, when installed from the setup project, the add-in would never load. Another str ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Custom Pushpin Transparency Issue

  Hi, This may seem like a studpid question but does anyone know how to make certain parts of a pushpin image transparent. eg. If I draw a red circle pushpin on a white square how do I show just the red circle and make the remainder of the white square transparent Cheers, Scott. Ok these are driving me crazy. The solution to getting transparent png's working in IE6 is using a behaviour which all works well except you must the size of the orginal element. For some reason the size of the image is not being reported properly. So my Pushpins keep changing sizes randomly. I've add to opt for making all of them the same size and setting a fixed height and width for all pushpins. Anybody had much luck wit ...Show All
