The windows media player will not record MP3. Unless there is something I don't know, which is very possible Laugh | :laugh:

I could be wrong but I'm sure I've seen something about the Media Player SDK having an Encoder API which allows you to use digital capture devices to create media files. It's not exactly my field of expertise so apologies if I have it all wrong.

Where's that article about Shell Toolbars?

I'm pretty sure I have seen an article on CP about how to build these nifty toolbars that you can add to your Start Taskbar. You know the bar with the big green Start button on it? Well, if you right-click, you can add toolbars such as the Address, Links, Media Player, etc. Well I want to create such a toolbar.

I found this url[^] that closely looks like what I want to do, but I'm pretty sure I saw a different article about it.

Can anyone else dig it up?

Thanks.

And YES, YES, YES... thats the one;

again CPians deliver, I thanks you so very much. For some reason, I did not find it using the search, and I did look in that section, but probably I was already looking cross-eyed... this site just has too much good info.

thanks again,

Xml Serialization Help Needed!!

Hi. I really need some help on this.

I need to serialize objets into one of the following formats

<myclass>
<member1>somevalue
<member2>option1
<member3>someothervalue

or

<myclass>
<member1>somevalue
<member2a>option2a
<member2b>option2b
<member3>someothervalue

I have been trying many things, yet I have not found something that works.
I really need some insights. If anyone knows how to do this, please tell me. I don't even know what is the best way of designing myClass so as to achieve this.

Rocardo..

Do you think you could either replace your angle brackets with the code or re-post as plain text so that we can all see what it is you're trying to do...

Cheers

Framework secury and exe files

r911-Jun-03 4:07

11-Jun-03 4:07

Hello

I have written a C# application, and I want to launch it from a browser (Smart Client technology). (exe file)
BUT when I launch it, then I get all sort of security problems (Request for the permission of type System.Net.SocketPermission...). This is because I use a socket connection, and the Framework secury don't allow this as default.

Of cource I can let my users alter the security setup like in (http://www.csharp-station.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=304), but I would like to make a trusted exe file, so
that my users can choose to click "TRUST ALWAYS", and then the security setup is done automatic.
(like a webbank, activeX ect.)

ListView Check

11-Jun-03 3:20

I have a ListView in detail view with a check box. I want the check to indicate a status, but it needs to be read-only in the list view. In the in the ItemCheck event, I cancel any changes...

<br />
private void publishList_ItemCheck(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
// Lock check value, but allow user to select and double click item.<br />
    e.NewValue = e.CurrentValue;<br />
}<br />

This works fine if the item is not selected. If I first select a line in the view, I can then un/check it. Docs say that the value of the Checked property doesn't change until after the ItemCheck finishes. Anybody know a way around this?

string.Replace

Andy Hartley11-Jun-03 1:21

11-Jun-03 1:21

I have encountered a problem with string.Replace and String.Replace.

If I have:

string s = "Andrew Hartley";<br />
s.Replace( "Andrew", "A" );

s still holds "Andrew Hartley" and not "A Hartley" as I would expect!

This is the same for String.Replace also!!!

I have used Regex for the time being:

string s = "Andrew Hartley";<br />
Regex regex = new Regex( "Andrew" );<br />
s = regex.Replace( s, "A" );

s now holds the expected result of "A Hartley"

Does anyone have any comments to add, or any suggestions as to why string.Replace doesn't work?

Re: string.Replace

Philip Fitzsimons11-Jun-03 2:50

strings are immutable - so the replace function RETURNs a new string
so your code should be:

string s = "Andrew Hartley";<br />
s = s.Replace( "Andrew", "A" );

web service

In (server / client application )there is a webservice at the server side application, the clients access this webservice. the server can be located on any PC, so its IP
is dynamic. I do not have a fixed IP, for the server.

I have a problem in determining the IPAddress of the server everytime, in the web reference.

in other words, we want the address of the web reference to be dynamic, according to the current IP of the server.

Would anyone plz help me to do it !!!!

Re: web service

shaunAustin11-Jun-03 4:57

Yep, I'll quote MSDN because it puts it better than I ever could

You can use the Web Reference URL property to specify the URL to the XML Web service. The Add Web Reference sets this property by default to the URL of the XML Web service you select, which is a static URL. A Web reference can use either a static URL or a dynamic URL.

If you leave the URL Behavior set to the default value of static, the proxy class sets the URL property using a hard-coded URL when you create an instance of the class.

If you set the URL Behavior property of the Web reference to dynamic, the application obtains the URL at run time from the <appsettings> Element of your application's configuration file. When you specify a dynamic URL after adding a Web reference, Visual Studio updates the proxy class to obtain the URL from the configuration file.

<br />
<br />
<appSettings><br />
   <add key="myApplication.myServer.Service1"    <br />
              value="http://myServer/myXmlWebService/Service1.asmx"/><br />
</appSettings><br />

When you create an instance of a proxy object, you can also set the URL property of the object in your application.

Hope that's some help to ya!!!

Erm... have a look at the DirectorySearcher and Directory Entry classes. They are mainly for Active Directory but I think WinNT which is a ADSI provider protocol (NT4) is supported so you might be able to use that... Otherwise it's Win32 API time... and at the moment I have no idea where to start...

Sorry!

Frown | :(

I'll certainly give it some thought!!!

Dynamic radioButtons

10-Jun-03 23:04

Hey,

I have a collection of objects. For each object in the collection I want to show a radiobutton on my windows.form.
ex.
O Object1.fieldname1
O Object2.fieldname1
O Object3.fieldname1

The problem is thatI have to create the radiobuttons dynamically, because I don't know how much objects are in my collection.

With a combobox there is no problem. I just use there a datasource, a displaymemeber and a valuemember.
But now, intead of having a combobox, I want it in radiobuttons.

I thought a radiobuttonlist was a solution, but that is only for webcontrols.
Or maybe I can play with the groupbox where the radiobuttons come in?
How I create a radiobutton at runtime??

Maybe somebody have an idea?
Thanks in advance,
Nic

Remote File Access??

I'd like to access files in remote computer.

However I hardly know how can I access.. Frown | :(

What I want is,,

One client accesses to a server, and it checks some of files updated
(I think it is possible to identify modified date of file.)

And If some of file had changed, the client download the files from the server.

How can I do to make it? Thanks..

I'm not who I was

Not quite sure what it is you're trying to ultimately achieve but I would probably stick the file in a Web folder and then use the HttpRequest classes etc to get the file info and download the files.

It's certainly a better idea than just sharing a folder. Will it just be on a local network or reachable over the internet!?
