• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Media Player-Like Application

  I'm trying to throw together a simple media player application. I would like to set the source (URI) of a media file to play and have controls over playback. The MediaPlayer class obviously does all the heavy work. I would like to have Sliders for Position, SpeedRatio and Balance. I can hook these all up in code, but it appears that none of those properties are Dependency properties and therefore Binding doesn't appear to work. I noticed that Sp ...Show All

  I'm for the moment learning the shaders, but keep on "blocking" on one ot two thing that I don't understand.

• Visual C# static method inheritance

  I am trying to derive a class such that I can reuse methods & operators from the base class. E.g., in the base class, I can write   Base b1 = new Base(); Base b3 = 3.0 * b1;   because I’ve written the ‘Scale’ method and ‘operator *’. (see below)   When I try to do this in a class derived from Base, I fail utterly. The compiler hints that “an explicit cast exists; am I forgetting it ”, but I have no idea where ...Show All
