• Visual Studio Express Editions Playing an audeo file

  sounds easy dosnt it well i have been trying and i cant get it to work. This is what i have so far My .Computer.Audio.Play(C:\Documents and Settings\Steven Bayer\ My Documents\ My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\30 Seconds to Mars\A Beautiful Lie\01 Attack.mpeg, 10) and that dosnt work i think the error is in the : The Audio.Play method only supports .wav files - you can't play a .mpeg. If you had a .wav version of the same file you would play it like this: My.Computer.Audio.Play("C:\The File Path\01 Attack.wav") Note that the path is a String and must be surrounded by quotes.

• Windows Forms Using PictureBox as display for device, Resize picture box causes picture to disappear

  I'm building a C# multi-display app (3 picture boxes with graphics in each window).  I use the docking properties of the picture boxes to fill their area (also use splitters for resizing). I've implemented a draw function on the 'ReSize' event handler...but it still doesn't work.  I can actually see a flicker of my drawing as I resize the window...but when I'm done resizing..the window is blank.  It's like there's another event happening after the resize event that is wiping out my picture.  I've also tried handling the form's Paint event... same problem. Is there some other event I'm not handling properly THANKS! ...Show All

• Visual C++ The private property data members are showing up as funny small sqares in some of the method codes?

  Hi, I'm coding in a C++/COM using only standard C++ library in V.S. 2005. The program creates a Dialog page for extending Active Directory property page. I have a few property data member declared as wchar_t*. In the 1st meothod(LoadInitalData) code I assign data to those members and used MessageBox to output and examined those data that they worked just fine. When I code the other methods to save the controls valuse and I need those private member data that I saved earlier they're all displaying as funny squares. I use the same MessageBox call to output the saved member data but the result is all messedup and I can't use it. What am I do ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom collection and DataSource

  Hi! I have made a strongly typed collection which inherrits from System.Collections.CollectionBase. The collection is used with a persistence framework I'm developing and implements lazy loading which means that the list isn't loaded until I use it (e.g. asks for a object in the list) for the first time. This works ok!

• Smart Device Development WM5 / Desktop Application

  At our company we develop an application that targets a custom Windows CE 4.1 (not 4.2 nor PocketPC 2003) platform.  We have done development using eVC 4.0 when targeting the device but also have been using effectively the same project files to target the desktop (not emulator) compiled with VS2003.  We would like to move to VS2005 for a couple reasons including being able to target Windows Mobile 5.  I thought we would have had the perfect dev environment because it should be possible to be able to compile and debug either a Windows Mobile 5 or a desktop app from the same solution.  I started w ...Show All

• SQL Server Fuzzy Lookup problems

  Hi everyone, Ive just started looking at the Fuzzy Lookup feature and i think i must be getting something fundamentally wrong. I have two tables - each contain different meta data representations for a set of potentially similar documents. The only chance i have of matching a document in table A to a document in table B is a common title field. However, manual input means that the titles may differ in both tables although they are potentially quite similar in most cases. In the lookup i get to specify the output columns from table B (Reference) which is fine, but i don't seem to get to choose the columns from table A that i would also ...Show All

• Windows Forms MDI Problems

  Am getting the following problems with MDI forms: 1. Child forms set to maximised at design time do not appear maximised when shown. 2. Icons of maximised child forms do not show in the control box menu until the MDI form is resized. 3. I can't get the toolbar buttons of child forms to merge with those of the MDI form. I've set the AllowMerge property of the MDI form toolstrip to True, and MergeAction of the child form toolstrip buttons to Append and Insert, but they just don't appear. EDIT - OK, I can fix this with the ToolStripManager. 4. I want the toolstrip to be draggable to any side of the MDI form. I'd use a single toolstrip container ...Show All

• Visual C++ ArrayList::Sort() with Class

  I have an ArrayList which stores different instances of a class, which contains 3 integers. I wish to sort the ArrayList by 1 of these integers. I'm sure it's possible but can't find anything on MSDN to show me how, can anyone help Thanks, IxxI I'm pretty sure I need to use the IComparer interface to add a custom sort to the Arraylist but any code I try is rejected by the compiler with fairly unhelpful error messages.

• Visual Studio Team System Load Test with Browser and Network Mix

  Hi, I am trying to use a load test for a webservice including the network and browser mix( 3 or 4) in the scenario. Is there a way to check the results for a particular mix in the test results Thanks, Swapna You can get information on the requests with respect to the network mix, but not the browser mix.  To get the infor for network mix do the following: 1) Open the load test in the load test editor 2) Click on the run setting 3) Open the property browser 4) Change the Timing Details Storage from None to Statistics Only 5) Save and run the test 6) When the test is complete, transtion to the post run viewer 7) Click the tabl ...Show All

• Visual C++ std::string.compare() bug?

  Can anyone confirm that this is a bug: std::string s1( "Mytest" ); std::string s2( "Mytest1"); if ( s1.compare( 0, 6, s2 ) != 0 ) return false; I get a result of -1 while I think it should be 0. The workaround is listed below which returns the expected value of 0. if ( s1.compare( 0, 6, s2, 0, 6 ) != 0 ) return false; Hi, I guess your problem is to think that it will compare "Mytest" (s1) with the first 6 chars of s2, but this is not the case: It will compare the first 6 chars of s1 with s2 and not s1 with the first 6 chars of s2. if(s1 ...Show All
