• Visual C++ Displaying a QT form in a VC++ .NET application

  Being entirely new to Windows and mostly new to C++, I took the path of least resistance when starting a new project, and let Visual Studio 2005 lead me to using .NET for my development. It has been a learning experience but not too bad. Now, though, I have to use a form developed in QT by another team. I have a QT license, am using 4.1.4 with the vs add ins. The form, after much gnashing of teeth, etc., builds, and my application links, including instantiating the form, and calling the form.show() method. However, when I actually invoke it, I get a message that it is not a Qt application. So my question (applause) is, "Is there a switch or flag, or quick way I can convince Qt that my .net application is a Qt application " ...Show All

• Visual Studio Do we have to wait for the VS 2005 Prof. SP1 edition or use the Team Suite SP1 edition ?

  I've noted that following VS 2005 SP1 are available : Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite SP1 Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions SP1 Since my edition is VS 2005 Professional, I am wondering whether I should use the Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite SP1 version or I should wait for the specific VS 2005 Professional SP1 edition.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) streaming webcam video inside WCF

  bit of a newbie, I am trying to stream video from a webcam inside a web service. I am having little or no luck finding decent information about using webcams with WCF. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am using AVICAP32.dll to allow me to preview and record the video from the webcam. I have not tried using the system.io.stream to access the webcam yet. The end result for what I am trying to accomplish is to preview, stream, record, and take pictures at an preset interval. So far the preview, record, and take pictures at interval is working but have not found a way to easily incorperate the video into a stream. I appreciate all the help on this. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Programming Languages

  Hi, I'm relatively new to programming, and Visual Basic doesn't seem to be that good of a language, and not that much used in real applications. I want to move onto a different language, one that is very popular, can do almost anything, and can be and IS used in professional applications. Another important factor is platform compatibility. Java provides that, but Java isn't that popular for Windows, and Windows is my primary target. C++ works, but I have a couple of questions: 1) Can C++ be used on any OS Is it a good language to use as my primary language 2) Is C# going to replace C++ Does that work on other OS's C# is newer, and so I'm thinking maybe its the new version of C++ that's going to replace it, as xhtml is probably going to do ...Show All

• .NET Development TcpClient.BeginAcceptTcpClient / Socket.BeginAccept / all other variations...

  First, I'm sorry for the cross-post...I didn't see the networking forum, so I posted into the vb.net forum. I've been having a problem with the use of any of the async methods of TcpClient, Socket, etc eating >95% cpu after receiving the first connection. I've been working on this for over a week now and I'm unable to find references to this issue anywhere. I've tried every way I can think of to work around this problem. Even if no data is sent or received on the connection....or if I close the received connection -- some unknown thread uses all the available cpu power after the first connection occurs. I created a small project that reproduces the problem -- I've zipped it up and posted it here: http://www.profitfuel.net/T ...Show All

• .NET Development Get user information

  Hello! I am trying to find an easy solution to my problem. I am trying to use code on the C# page to get user info. I use may be a half dozen different techniques. they all return "NT Autority\Network Service". no matter how I switch permissions in IIS, I can't get it to say "domain\user", even after I log in with the prompt. If I could find one way of doing this that would be outstanding. I wonder if anyone has tried something similar. -Bahman Assuming this is an ASP.NET app try Page.User.Identity.Name.

• Windows Forms How to turn off Copy always option in vs2005

  Hi, I have added a SQL Database in my Visual Studio 2005 project. When I run application add/update records it gives no error and error show the inserted/updated results after refreshing results. But when i open the table from the server explorer, it contains no data and when i close my application and starts it again it also shows no data as there is no data in table. I read an article that VS automatically copies the MDF/LDF files to bin/debug while running project from VS2005 and all the updates performed on DB are stored in MDF/LDF copies place in debug folder. It was told that there is an option "Copy Always" which can be turned off to let VS use one copy of MDF/LDf files so that i may able to track changes being done in DB ...Show All
