• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem with BDA IPSink Filter

  Hello All! Hope this is the right place for putting my problem description ;-). I am currently developing a DirectShow filter for decapsulating IP over DVB data using ULE encapsulation ( RFC4326 ). This is similar to what the BDA MPE (Multi-Protocol Encapsulation) filter does which is provided by Microsoft.

• Windows Forms what happens when more than one applications access same ACCESS db locally?

  Say: I have 3 applications running at same time which all communicate to the same ACCESS db on my C:\ drive. If I modify the data on one application, commited the change to db, will the data displayed in rest 2 applications be automatically updated If not, do I need an extra update/refresh functions in every application so that I can manually update the data shown on rest 2 applications when they are changed in one application plz help No, other applications will not be updated. Your applications only retrieve data from the database when you tell them to, so if you change data from one application, other applications would have to r ...Show All

• Windows Forms Changing the Target Extension of an output file

  I would like to be able to change the extension of an output file from the default '.exe' to another extension before it gets inserted into the setup project.  How can I do this Tim, this isn't supported specifically with VS.  However you could rename the built output then add it as a file to the setup project.  You could automate this by having the post build event of the application (or the pre build event of the setup project)rename the built output. Hope that helps ...Show All
