• Visual Basic Windows Media Player 10 Control Enhancements

  Hi, I am developing an application to subtitle videos using the WMP 9/10 object with success for the moment. I'd like to take more advantage of the control and allow the user to use the Enhancements such as Video Settings to control video brightness, contrast, etc. My question if it's possible to access and modify such settings, and if not, I wonder if there's some sort of plugin to allow this, otherwise I'd have to migrate to another player control, and I would not like this option because I'm already forcing users to get WMP9 or 10 to use the program which was released on december 2004.- Any help will be really appreciated, I already sea ...Show All

• SQL Server semaphore timeout

  Hi, I'm having a problem copying a file from the operating system to another system within the same domain.  I've set up an Operating system job that sometimes returns this error: Executed as user: MEDSHARE\SQL. The semaphore timeout period has expired.          0 file(s) copied.  Process Exit Code 1.  The step failed.

• Visual C++ Tips for speeding up debugging (stepping through code)?

  I've got one particular large C++ project that, in VC 2005, when stepping through code in the debugger, it takes approximately 2 seconds for each hit of the F10 key (i.e. each line of code) to be executed. I've tried many things to attempt to speed it up: disable intellisense, renaming feacp.dll, removing all additional output windows, watch, breakpoints, etc, removing navigation bar from text editor window, disabling anti-virus on the machine, closing all other apps. It's always the same speed. Running on a dual P4 2.8 gig with 1 gig of memory, and hyperthreading enabled. Are there any other tips for speeding up debugging in the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deleting Corrupt Team Project

  I initially could not create a new team project because I was not a member of the local administrators group on the team foundation server (single server environment). Once this was corrected I deleted the failed projects via DeleteTeamProject /force <projectname>.  At this point they do not show up in the Team Explorer.   Next I try to re-create the project and the process fails with "Microsoft.Pcw.currituck" failed with error: "Initialization Failed: Project <Project> already exists on server <Server>".   Rerunning DeleteTeamProject again will say something to the effect of "no project found" ...Show All

• SQL Server Where to begin?

  Hi, I'm totally new to sqlexpress and I'm trying to create a database to store websites that my desktop application will manipulate; however, I don't know where to start, I've read many articles on msdn but they all are either non-existent or wasn't very helpful. All I want to do is create a table.

• Smart Device Development Mixing jagged and multidimensional arrays - bug in .NET CF 1.0?

  I think I have found a bug in .NET CF 1.0. If you create a new project and add the following line to the form's constructor: int[][,] myArray = new int[1][,]; a TypeLoadException is raised at run-time. This happens on both CF 1.0 and CF 1.0 SP3 . Everything works fine on .NET CF 2.0 or in the full framework. Mixing jagged and rectangular arrays was not supported in .NETCF v1. Not a bug, just a design decision. That limitation, however, no longer exists in .NETCF v2. ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB first time install

  I am a network administrator interested in program development. I installed VB 2005 Express Edition for the first time on a Win XP Pro SP2 Dell GX 260 Optiplex (1GB of RAM, 1.8 GHz processor). I log in and therefore install with admin rights. Upon writing a small program to view web pages, the IDE hangs when I start debugging to test the program. The vbexpress.exe CPU usage hits 99% and stays there. I have to use Task Manager to force the process to end. Has anyone else run across this on a first time installation of VB 2005 Express Edition I'll know more tonight. This is on my home PC, so I'll try that ...Show All
