• Visual Studio Express Editions Strange string problem in vb?

  I am currently making a program that reads the ID tags from an MP3. Here is my problem or an example of my problem. Lets say I have the artist showen in a msgbox and the song title showen in a seperate msgbox like so: msgbox(artist) msgbox(song) The msgbox will appear and show the correct info. But lets say I do something like this: msgbox(artist & " - " & song) it will ONLY show the artist, but this doesn't happen all the time, depending on the MP3 that is read, it will display just as I want... What I really want to know is what can cause it to not display the rest of the string like I want it t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Action Pane VS ModalForm

  Hi, I'm developing a User Control inside a Action Pane, but user find it's not acceptable to view so many controls (e.g. DataGridViews, ComboBoxes, TextBoxes...etc) in this little area. So I'd like to know is it possible to create a "floating" form, such that user can drag the user control into the main window, or drop to the margin of XLS / DOC file and docked. (In short, to make something like VS2005 and we can resize the "Property Window" and drag&drop freely, or docked to left / right hand side with a "shadow" image. Thanks, Peter, The ActionsPane can be resized and ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Stretch texture

  Based on the following code that uses a Sprite and Texture to draw a textured square... _sprite.Begin( D3D.SpriteFlags.AlphaBlend ); _sprite.Draw( _texture, new Rectangle( 0, 0, (int)_width, (int)_height ), new Vector3( 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f ), new Vector3( (int)_left, (int)_top, 0.0f ), Color.FromArgb( 255, 255, 255, 255 ) ); _sprite.End(); ...I am confused as to what part of this code I can change to stretch my texture horizontally or vertically. According to intellisense, the call parameters break down as follows: the texture (obviously), the area of the texture that ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView changes not saving!

  Hey Guys, I am writing an app with Visual C# Express and have put a DataGridView on my form. It pulls data from an Access database and displays it fine, but when I edit, add, or delete a record from the DataGridView control the changes "appear" to have taken, however once I close the app and reopen or check the Access database none of the changes have taken affect.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Studio 6.0 SP5 setup on Vista Beta 2 (5384)?

  Does anyone know how to get around the MDAC check in the Service Pack 5 setup of Visual Studio 6.0 For some reason it doesn't detect MDAC 2.5 or higher which it requires (even though Vista obviously has a later version - 6.0) and the setup will not continue from that point. I've tried every registry key I could think of to trick it into thinking MDAC is installed. Thanks Ted. Totally untrue - the support on Vista has been committed to by Microsoft until March of 2008  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbrun/ms788708.aspx I know for a fact that it runs perfectly on Vista as I have run i ...Show All

• Visual C++ Processing video from a webcam

  Hi, I wrote oone app that captures video from a webcam (it's the one in Mark Pesce's book of DirectShow). It works perfectly but it only records around 7-8 seconds. I want to make this modifications but I don't know how so I ask you to help me: 1. I want the app not to stop recording at 8 seconds, I want me to stop it when I want. 2. I don't want sound. The app shows a window with the video it is recording and writes it into a file. I want it to filter those frames with another kind of filter (a Sobel one for example). 3. In order to make this I think I have to connect the output file of the Smart Tee Filter (Capture or Preview, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Change priority from integers to strings

  I've been customizing the Work Item template in the MSF Agile template. So far I've made good progress in implementing the states (Active, Closed etc) that we currenlty use.

• Visual C++ Poly-Threaded C++ Applications

  I have a few programs that I am converting to be threaded. At present I have a couple of programs, computer chess engines, that are threaded and work fine with Microsoft's C++ compilers. When the SMP.H #define's detect _WIN32 || _WIN64 it calls up process.h functions but on other platforms it need to use a bit map in ASM to manage the threads properly. Other considerations include inter-process communications etc. If threads dont need to speak to each other then the situation is simple, if not then some form of signalling is needed and the program becomes more complex. One program I use computes end game positions for chess, usin ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA on Windows XP ??

  Hi people. This is my first post in MS forums, so please, don't make me alone in this thread :) I found on Wikipedia that "The XNA Framework is based on the .NET Framework 2.0. It will also include a version of the Common Language Runtime, which is optimized for gaming requirements. The runtime will be available for both Windows XP, Windows Vista and the Xbox 360." Does it mean, and it is true, that some version of XNA will be made for Windows XP I know that DX10 is Vista only, but I was hoping that some version of XNA, (I assume XNA will have DX9 support too ) would be running on Windows XP too, so my ...Show All
