• Visual FoxPro How to play a Windows Media Audio format (WMA) in VFP?

  Hi all, I am now trying to create a small program to play media audio files. I'm now using the MultiMedia ActiveX control (mci.ocx) to play these files but this ocx seems can not play WMA files while this type of file is getting more and more popular to music-lovers. Could anyone tell me how to play WMA files in VFP. Note:I want to play them directly in VFP with MCI control or with some API function that VFP can handle, do not have to use ActiveX of 3rd party (If have to use ActiveX of a third party to play , i can create one for my own in VB6). Do you have the latest codecs installed, right my two cents, ...Show All

• Visual C# How can I prevent others using my assembly?

  How to trust the calling assembly that loads my assembly. I don't want anyother client load my assembly except specific assembly   Sean Vikoren wrote: To get really secure code, you will need to compile to a native format.  Of course when you do this, you loose the flexibility of running in the CLR. The security protections offered by the CLR would also be lost.  Considering that no calling code restriction mechanism is guaranteed to be effective when implemented in native code either, this is hardly worth the trade-off if caller restriction is the main reason for the switch. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS 2005 Issue

  At two of my XP machines I successfully setup VSS 2005. Issue is at the server which is an Windows 2003 Standard. It seems that when I check Server -> Configure then Enable SourceSafe Internet for this computer and corresponding option bellow Enable SourceSafe Internet for this database VSS Administrator does not properly create virtual dir, to be more precise, it does note create VssUpload_db1 and VssDownload_db1 sub-virtual dirs. Moreover, when I uncheck Enable Internet access it does not delete virtual dir, as it is case at my workstations. It’s the same build, and same steps, so problem should lay somewhere in server configuration. S ...Show All

• .NET Development VS User Interface Data Set Interconnectivity

  Hi peers, I have experienced a problem related to simultaneous connection to the same dataset from the different child Windows Forms within the MDI Parent Form(VS UI).

• Visual C# Migration from .net to vs2005

  hello, Im writting test tools for different hardwares. I started with C# .net and everything seems to work normally. Then the company wants to migrate everything to 2005. So i opened my projects in 2005 and convert them. first of all i noticed that everything run slower (does 2005 mean better ). I have some cross threading issue but i turned the warning off with the system controls so it works like .net. And third thing which is the worst is that the program is not working with some hardware. I think the code is too slow for the hardware to respond correctly back. Is there any way to speed up the code. Im using VS2005 Professional edition. ...Show All

• SQL Server Reuse of Recursive Queries

  I have a recursive query which I use to retrieve a set of identifiers. Something like: WITH Set (Id) AS (/* recursive code */) SELECT Item FROM MyTable T WHERE T.ItemId = ANY (SELECT Id FROM Set) What I would like to achieve is to be able to reuse the code in bold in another procedure without duplicating the code (ie. reuse the query building up the set). What I've done is to create a user-defined function which returns a TABLE parameter. So now, I have something like: SELECT Item FROM MyTable T WHERE T.ItemId = ANY(SELECT Id FROM MyFunction()) My question: is this the righ way of doing it Does the use of a function incurs an ...Show All
