• Windows Forms VS Crashes upon exit

  I've been having the following problem since B1 and I was hopping it would go away in B2 but it didn't. Here it goes: I have a control designer (Windows Forms Control) that makes a call to the following code from a Verb: internal static void ShowURL ( string url) { WebBrowser browser = new WebBrowser (); browser.Navigate(url, true ); } This works fine, a new browser is created, the pages is shown and everything is fine and dandy, that is untill I try to close Visual Studio, it seems that thebrowser object (even though the browser window was closed) is still alive. Is this a bug  Can anybody suggest a workaround Frank ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Clarification

  So if i'm right, Microsoft is releasing MSN Messenger Activity API's for the protocol Good, in a way, but will Microsoft change they're licence to allow us to create applications (such as MSN Messenger Robots and 3rd Party MSN Messenger Clients) that will connect to the .NET Messenger Network , because if not, then this is really just for refrence.... Well I think encryption would be fine, given that translation is an example in the documentation.  Photo Sharing is probably out of the question -if- it works like the current Photo Swap (aka, some sort of flickr viewer/sharer would probably be fine -- ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Video capture

  I am writing a video capture program, which works fine for a lower end capture device, but I've bought one which does MPEG encoding on board. The software that came with the unit works great, but my DX code can only see it as a TV tuner, and cannot show any sort of preview. I suspect this is because it's doing something non-standard to stream MPG - is there anything I can do about this Thanks for helping This page might give you some thoughts. http://www.codeproject.com/directx/MPEG2_Capture_Device.asp ...Show All

• SQL Server A problem with SQLColumns call

  Hello, let us consider the following problem with SQLColumns call. Fist of all here goes a small quote from MSDN on SQLColumns input string parameters: CatalogName [Input] Catalog name. If a driver supports catalogs for some tables but not for others, such as when the driver retrieves data from different DBMSs, an empty string ("") denotes those tables that do not have catalogs. I read it as I can call SQLColumns the following ways: SQLColumns(hstmt_, (SQLCHAR *)"",SQL_NTS, ... or SQLColumns(hstmt_, (SQLCHAR *)"",0, ... but none of this calls works. The only working way is SQLColumns(hstmt_, 0,0, ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Probably stating the obvious here...

  I am making a game using visual studio .net 2003 with directx 9 2005 update.  I create a deployment project with visual studio that includes all directx.dll files and other detected dependancies.  I deploy the game to the computer on which it was developed and it works fine. Now I want to test the networking so I deploy it to a laptop.  The laptop is running windows xp with SP 2 (so .net framework is there obviously)  I also installed latest runtime on this laptop. When I try to run the game, it says: "Application has generated an exception that could not be handled" It may be that the game itself is throwing some ki ...Show All

• SQL Server Help with multiple IIFs, or need suggestion of better solution.

  I am trying to check multiple fields from a db to see if they have either a 1 or 0 value, and if there is a 1, then write a value into a text box. I need to check multiple fields, and if all of them are checked then I have to insert the value for each into the text box. If it was just checking one condition it woudl be easy, because I could just nest IIF's until it was true. So I can't do because once the truth clause is satisfied it will exit the loop: IIF(Fields!Fielda.Value = 1,"Fielda",IIF(Fields!Fieldb.Value=1,"Fieldb"....) I also cannot do: =IIfFields!Fielda.Value=1,"Fielda,"") =IifFields!Fieldb.V ...Show All

• Visual Studio Accessing DTE within VSPackage

To get you started, if you are using a .NET programming language, then you can create a .NET User Control, then call the CreateToolWindow2 method which you can pass the location of the assembly and the class name implementing that user control, and we will create a tool window contai ...Show All
