• Smart Device Development migrating to CE5

  I have program written for a Symbol PPC scanner. I used VS .NET 2003 for this device that runs CE4.2. Symbol is now shipping these scanners using CE5.0 and naturally my simple program (I scan barcodes and save them to a SQL CE database) is not compatible to the next version of your OS. Please excuse the sarcasm but it is a little frustrating. Anyway, Symbol indicates I need the MS Win CE Utilities for VS.Net 2003 Add on pack and their .net kit for their stuff. However, when I look at the readme for the MS stuff (I got version 1.1 off support.microsoft.com), it says nothing about 5.0, only 4.2. I loaded them anyway, but I do not see ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Soundmax Audio Driver and Windows Longhorn Beta 1

  Hi, I have Soundmax driver installed on Windows Longhorn OS. When I use the sound recorder that comes with the OS (in the Startup->Entertainment section) and record through a microphone, my recording is okay. But if I use Wave out Mix as input pin  and try recording from Windows Media Player to the Sound recorder that comes with the OS, it does not record. It changes my setting to microphone when I start recording automatically. Also another difference I noticed between Windows Xp and Windows Vista is that mixer device option in the Volume Control of Windows Xp shows SoundMax Digital Audio and with Windows Vista it shows " ...Show All

• SQL Server invalid object name 'sys.objects'

  Our scripts have a sql server 2005 requirement.Some of our customers have reported the error invalid object name 'sys.objects'  . On going through some of the posts in this forum it seems to me that sys.objects is a view introduced in sql server 2005. So i suspect this problem might be occuring because the user is trying to run our script on an older version of sql server. I want to know if this is the only possibility or if there is any other case this error can occur in sql server 2005. Thanks, CC ...Show All

• .NET Development to use the NetworkStream::Write() for synchronous sending!?

  Hi ^, i would like to realise a synchronous communication using the NetworkStream::Write() method. In theoretically ("...The Write method blocks until the requested number of bytes is sent or a SocketException is thrown. ...") it is possible to use this function for synchron sending but in fact the Write() method doesn't send the data directly to the remote machine it puts the data into the outgoing network buffer of the PC so doesn't wait for the remote machine's answer. If the outgoing network buffer is full just in this case will be blocked the Write() function. I don't know how can i avoid this buffer or how can i set th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Unable to read 2 (out of 3) media

  I've been reading books and surfing the web for an answer to what, I thought, was a standard graphics problem I'm having...hopefully you can help.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Shader versions and efficiency on same shader code

  I was wondering about, as the title says, if there's any difference in compiling shaders using vs/ps2.0 instead of vs/ps1.1 on code that's compatible for both types. Here's an example of the vertex shader I use for setting up the post processing quad in my program: vsQuadOutput vs_QuadSetup( vsQuadInput Input ) { vsQuadOutput Output = (vsQuadOutput)0; Input.Pos.xy = sign(Input.Pos.xy); Output.Pos = float4(Input.Pos.xy, 0, 1); Output.Tex.x = 0.5 * (1 + Input.Pos.x); Output.Tex.y = 0.5 * (1 - Input.Pos.y); return( Output ); } So simply put, is there a difference between the following 2 options I can use ...Show All
