• Windows Forms A Simple Form Question Wait For your solutions

  I am working with the directshow VMR9 windowless mode. I had read the documents about the Directshow, but there no answer about it. My question is that How to Draw some sharps on the playing form.

The windowless is also that when we send Update me ...Show All

• SQL Server System::InteractiveMode is FALSE from dtexecui?

  In a script task, I prompt the user for some parameters. I use the System::InteractiveMode variable to tell me if the package was launched via user interaction or from an automated process such as a file watcher. I display the prompts only if System::InteractiveMode is true. When I run from VS 2005 then I get the prompts, and when the package runs automated (dtexec) the prompts are not shown, so all is OK. However, when the package is run from d ...Show All

• .NET Development calling static Methods by reflection

  How do you call static methods by reflection, for example if I want to call "int.Parse()"  how would I do it Retrieve the MethodInfo for the Parse method and when calling Invoke, pass in null for the object reference. (Since this method is static, there is no object reference and it is safe to pass in null.) MethodInfo mi = typeof ( int ).GetMethod("Parse", BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static, null , new Type[] { typeof ( ...Show All

• Visual C++ Recursive function and dynamic memory causing me problems...

  I am writing a recursive sorting function that requires, at each recursive call, temporary storage to be created and deallocated after use. Here is the block: Temp = new int [j-i+1]; for ( int a = i; a <= j; a++) Temp = A ; MERGE(Temp, i, j - size_mod, j, A); // merge back into A the sorted portions delete [] Temp; Temp = 0; MERGE is not the recursive function, it is a seperate function that doesn't allocate or deallocate a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Does VB.NET support "nested" expressions (like C++?)

  Hi all! I don't recall the exact term in C++, but I could do things like: int c = 5 + (a > 1 a : 0) + b; Can I also do this some way in VB.NET Thanks in advance!
