• Visual C# C# audio input method

  Hi there, I know that with C# you use interop.speechlib.dll to ask your program to read out text, however, is there anyway we can use microphone to tell our c# program to execute some procedures Any help will be much appriciated. Thanks With SAPI5.1 interops you can also use speech recognition engine. Take a look on http://www.microsoft.com/speech/default.mspx  and http://www.microsoft.com/speech/download/sdk51/ BTW, with the next release of SAPI 5.3 (part of Windows Vista) it will be possible to use speech technologies without interops  in managed code: http://windowssdk.msdn.microso ...Show All

• Visual Basic Running VB 2005 Programs on other computers

  I'm having a problem running my VB 2005 programs on other computers with VB 2005. My programs run fine on the computer I wrote them on, but when I run them on any other computer, my forms load wrong. All the buttons on my forms are in different locations and the form is a different size. I'm not sure why this is happening or how these values are changing. Can anyone other any assistance "Load wrong", gives us very little information to go on. VS2005 programs/assemblies require the framework v2.0 to to run.

• Visual C++ vc2005: strcpy(char[100], CString); doen't work. Why?

  Hi, Recently I updated to Visual Studio 2005 (from 2003) In VC++2003 this code worked: char SuperString1[100]; //m_supervar is a member variable associated with some Dialog Edit contron (CString) strncpy(SuperString1, m_supervar, 5); This does not compile in VC++2005... the same problem with strcpy... So question is how to convert CString to char in VC++2005 Thanks in advance Serhiy I am sure it compiles, but you are probably talking about the warning. In VC++ 2005, the CRT string functions have been deprecated. I'd suggest that you update your code to use the new secur ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is it possible to connect to SQL Server Express?

  From the SQL Server Express web site it claims that you can use Visual C# Express 2005 with SQL Server Express 2005, but I have yet to find a way to make that happen. When I try to select a data source the only options I get are Microsoft Access Database File Microsoft SQL Server Database File When I try to select the latter, I just go on a wild goose chase where it claims that I don't have credentials with the server. When I use the regular version of Visual Studio 2005 at work, I also get the option Microsoft SQL Server Which lets me connect to SQL Server Express 2005 no problem.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is there a "Setup" project available in Express editions?

  Maybe a dumb question, but I have Visual C# Express 2005 Beta 2 installed on my computer but it seems like it doesn't have a Setup kind of project. Isn't it available in Express editions How else, except for the Publish feature (which doesn't work as well), can I deploy my applications Resorting to 3rd party software doesn't sound too good to me. Is it something wrong with my installation It would be a pity not to include in VS 2005 such a tool. Hi A.L. Forgot to answer your other question: Setup projects are available in in the VSTS SKU. -Patrick ...Show All

• Visual Basic PropertyGrid problems

  Hi, I am currently using the propertygrid control to browse an object containing many properties of different types, some being structures which contain properties of their own. The first problem is that when I create a class inheriting from ExpandableTypeConverter, and use this class as the type converter for a property in my base class, I cannot find a way to unbold the display text using the DefaultValue attribute... The second (more important) one is when I have one of these property (of the type of a user-defined structure) and I try to edit a property of the base property it does not change...The base property get m ...Show All

• Visual C# Inheritance and custom events

The following code: if (mInitialValue != "" ) { if (mInitialValue != this .textBox1.Text) HasChanged( this , e); } Results in the compile error: The event '[The child class name].HasChanged' can only appear on the left hand side of += or -= (except when used from within the type [The parent class name]) Yet if I define the event in the child class it complains that it is hiding an inherited event.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Any way to simulate a key being pressed?

  I'm wondering if there is a way to simulate a key being pressed, such as ENTER. I need to do this without targetting a specific window, just simulate as if somebody hit enter on the keyboard. I cannot target the window (or more like I don't know how) because I'm not creating the window. It's a print dialog that is created by the FaxServer object. Any ideas I know that simulating enter would certainly not be the best answer (without targetting), because any number of things could happen to screw it up, but it's my last resort. Thanks. What about SendKeys.Send( "{ENTER}" ) ...Show All
