• Visual Studio Tools for Office Fuzzy text in a label control

  Hi, I've added some controls to the top of a sheet in an Excel file. The problem I'm having is that the text on, say a label, is blurry or fuzzy. It almost looks like when smoothing is being applied but actually makes it worse. I've tried various fonts and sizes and that doesn't matter. The rest of the text on the sheet looks fine. Has anyone seen this before, and hopefully knows what's happening I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. Hi Dennis, I was wrong. The funny thing is, when I run the program, the screen intially shows up with the label still fuzzy. However if I'm patient (which I'm often not), in a few seconds it clears up. Weird. I'm glad you asked the question -- if I wasn't trying to capture screenshots I wouldn't h ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Does WM5 support G711 Codec?

  Hi, In MSDN, its being specified that G711 Codec (u-Law format) has been supported & it can be accessed through RTC (ACM drivers). http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/wcertc/html/ceconsamplesperblock.asp Is it possible to access the Encode/Decode open API's of the codec library out of the box If so, Please tell me how to do it.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vector maths methods...

  Following a long day of writing and debugging some nasty rigid body physics code, and feeling the pain of the maths library I have to use for this C++ work, I thought I'd take another look at the XNA maths code to see if the results would be more readable (as you might hope ;). ... But my quick look at the framework docs seems to show more deficiencies than in the code I have been using all day... 1/ There is no Point3 class. This is a real pain as libraries that don't distinguish points and vectors are a right pain - transforming a point by a 4x4 matrix will result in a different result to transforming a vector. (And I don't want to resort to coding every point/vector as a homogeneous coordinate either!). There appears to be a ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Windowed rendering troubles

  i need to run my app in windowed mode with vertical synk, but if i will set d3dpp.PresentationInterval = D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_ONE; then app work with 60-70fps, compare to my monitor refresh rate is 100fps, if i will set D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_DEFAULT then app work with 300fps, but eat 100%l cpu time, how to fix this problem and get window rendering with correct framerate I've done a test on a sdk sample (Progressive mesh) in which I've enabled vsync. I'm afraid I can not notice what you're describing. So to me it means that it is dependent on your configuration. Could you confirm using an other driver or an other card I think your driver is wasting some time converting/copying back bufer ...Show All

• Windows Forms Develop an "Item" instead of just a control

  I want to design a custom look for a form, I could always create a borderless form, and fill the form with a control to do this bt I want this instead of being just a control, to be an "Item" like the "Windows Form" is, so you can slect add new item for your project and select my custom designed form instead of a windows form.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Installation problem

  Hi, the installer stops with this error message: "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". Now, I am pretty sure this is not the case ;) I am trying to install on W2.3k with VS 2005 Team Suite. Linq and the .NET v3 RC1 are already installed and work fine. Help! Best regards, Marc That's a standard Windows Installer error message. The only request we explicitly make in the installer is that the user be a member of the Administrators group in order to install, but you would have seen a different error message. Would you mind generating a Windows Installer log file and sending that to me From a command prompt, run msiexec /i ADONETVN.msi /l*v adonetvn-installation.log ...Show All

• SQL Server Query Date Stored as Text

  I am using Windows "Performance Logs and Alerts" to log performance statistics to a SQL database. In this case I am using a Counter Log, which creates the necessary tables upon startup of the log. I can see my data pouring into the database and now I am writing some T-SQL statements to query the data and display it on an aspx page. I have one particular problem that is presenting me with a bit of a challenge. I want to be able to query my captured performance counters based on date ranges entered on the aspx page. Unfortunately I am having trouble doing that because the "CounterDateTime" field where the date for each counter sample is stored is a char(24) data type instead of a datetime data type.
