• .NET Development Convert VB to C# for saving/reading an image from Access DB

  Hi, I am trying to save and read an image from MS Access DB based on the following article: http://www.vbdotnetheaven.com/Code/Sept2003/2175.asp Right now, I saved images without any errors. After reading the ole object from db, I saved it to C: as imageFromDb.BMP and displayed on the web. But it can not be displayed. After I manually sent the file to wordpad, it shows System.Byte [ ] Now I suspect my saving an image might be wrong. The tab ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Ink Over Video

  I am trying to allow the user to draw on top of a mediaelement(video) when the clip is paused. I have tried overlaying an inkcanvas over the mediaelement and also placing the mediaelement as a child of an inkcanvas. Using both methods, when the user draws on the video it tears (the underlying video isn't refreshing the current frame). The best solution I have come up with is grabbing the current frame as a bitmap when the user pauses and overlay ...Show All

• SQL Server Access Permissions on server scoped objects for login

  We are having problems with the response times from UPS WorldShip after switching from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. I think that the problem can be fixed from the database end by setting the permissions correctly for the user/role/schema that is being used by WorldShip to connect to the server but, I'm not sure how to do it. The Setup Client UPS WorldShip 8.0 running on XP Pro SP2 Connecting via Sql Native Client via SQL Server Login Connec ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Namespaces Microsoft.DirectX not found

  I've installed the DirectX 9.0 SDK and the runtime and can run the sample executables, but when I try to run the code in the edit or debug mode (using vb.net ver.2003) it can't find Microsoft.DirectX and Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput namespaces.  I verified it as having 9.0c using dxdiags.exe.

  I am trying to right a function that takes a multi-line selection, and extends the selection to encompass all of the top line, all of the bottom line, and all of the lines between. The idea being the user can lazily select half of line 2, all of line 3 and 4, and have of line 5.  Running the macro will select all of lines 2 to 5. I tried doing this:     Public Sub SelectWholeLines()        ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is it possible to queue Team Builds?

  Is there a way to make the build server queue build requests instead of running them simultaneously   We have had several problems with builds hanging during initialization, hanging during building, or completing the build process but failing to drop to the network when two builds are competing. I have considered writing a task that will wait on a mutex at the start of every build, but thought maybe I had better ask if MSFT had ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I clean out the Recycle Bin?
