• Windows Forms Multi-threading problem with Windows Forms (possibly SerialPort too)

  I've been having a problem when updating a windows form from a different thread. Data is received on using a SerialPort class which fires the DataReceived event (on a different thread). This thread then calls a method on a form which updates a text box. The code used in the method is just like the sample from the MSDN below, which reroutes the call so that the textbox update is done from the same thread. private void SetText(string text) { // InvokeRequired required compares the thread ID of the // calling thread to the thread ID of the creating thread. // If these threads are different, it returns true. if (this.textBox1.In ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Scanned images are not sharp in PictureBox

  Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition: My application displays images in a picturebox that is 304x608 pixels. It also prints them out on paper at the same size.

• SQL Server Problem with non-standard dimension

    I am very new to Analysis Services and have a problem that I don't have any idea on the direction to go or where to look for the answer. I have included a very simple example of the tables to hopefully explain what I am trying to do. I have a WIP billing table that is used as my Fact Table. I am using the Adjustment column for my measure. I have three dimensions "Region by Employee", "Region by Client", "Service Code". The different region dimensions are because the work may have been done by an employee in a different office or region than what the client is assigned to. Everything is fine when filtered by the "Region by Client" d ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Where can I get MF SDK?

  Where can I get MF SDK People are talking about it's existance and there is docs on it on MSDN, but where is that SDK Am I missing something The Media Foundation documentation is now here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms694197.aspx . I'm not sure why MSDN doesn't have a redirect. mmdeviceapi.h should be installed with the SDK in the Include folder. Are you saying that you don't have this header Incidentally, the APIs in mmdeviceapi.h are documented here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms678710.aspx , not in Media Foundation. ------------------------------------------------- ...Show All

My interpretations of what I have read about implementing a web portal for access to SourceSafe databases are as follows: 1) You must use VisualStudio to connect to Visual SourceSafe databases via remote web access.  AND/OR 2) From this link - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/th1ac915(VS.80).aspx - entitled "What's New in Visual SourceSafe (although it doesn't reference what release ...Show All

• .NET Development COM Interop and Regasm

  I have a VB.NET program setup for COM Interop that works on my PC. When I install it on another PC using regasm with the /codebase option it works on some PCs and not others. I could not determine why it was not working on certain PCs, so I installed it using the gacutil. Now it works on all PCs.
