I got that because that is what you said. Since you're new here I guess you don't understand the "Quote Selected Text" button and didn't see the "bynagari wrote:" text.
There is no way to do what you are asking. SoundPlayer requires either a path to the file or a stream. If the blob is in the database it obviously isn't a physical resource with a valid path. Neither is it a stream. Unless, as I said, SQL Server FILESTREAM will work for this.

This is a Healthcare app.... we are storing inside the DB for security reasons... Our security policy does not allow us to store in a file structure.....

OK Thanks. As I said i don't really have a solution to your problem. I suppose that you can't afford to have any lossy compression schemes either.
Thanks for the reply,

If you need a file that looks like it is in the OS file system but is actually stored in the DB you may want to try (.Net) System.Web.Hosting.VirtualPathProvider.
It's a bit of work but you can create a virtual provider that reads from the database to satisfy file requests. This is what sharepoint does.
e.g. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910441[^]
I don't know if this will allow streaming, with pausing, though.

Hi,
I created a form that has an event handler that binds the data to the form at load time, it works perfectly until I add a GroupBox. Once I added the group box, the Form Load event is not firing. I see that VS is still adding the load event.
<br />
this.Controls.Add(this.groupBox2);<br />
this.Controls.Add(this.groupBox1);<br />
this.Controls.Add(this.classmatesBindingNavigator);<br />
this.Name = "ClassReunionPlay";<br />
this.Text = "ClassReunion";<br />
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.ClassReunionPlay_Load);<br />
If I comment out the two "this.Controls.Add(this.groupBox) from above the EventHandler once again gets called when the form loads.
Is there something I should be setting in the properties for the form or the GroupBox to get the event to fire?
Thank you,
Glenn

Not sure what is going on, partly because you only showed a very small part of your code; my guess would be you have now moved your data receiving controls into a groupbox however you did not move your classmatesBindingNavigator.
However, unless your form's constructor throws an uncaught exception, I know of no way to not get a Load event. Are you sure you observed correctly?

Hi Luc,
Thank you for the reply. Yes this is exactly what I did. I've moved the data receiving controls into a new groupbox. I'm trying to learn how this works. I don't know how or where to move the classmatesBindingNavigator.
Thank you,
Glenn

I checked BindingNavigator, I now don't think it matters where it sits.
I'm still not convinced about your Load event not firing. Is the event still wired? (does it show a handler in the properties pane? or do you still see the "Load += new EventHandler(...)" bit in the designer file?
Try putting a breakpoint high up in the event handler; alternatively insert a MessageBox.Show().
|

Hi Luc,
Yes, the event is showing in the properties window under "Load", and I do see it wired in. When I set a break point at the entry to the event, I can see that it never hits, the form loads and we never hit the break point.
If I comment out the two GroupBoxes above and change nothing else, rerun the application with the debugger, I stop at the Load Event.
I thought I lost my mind at first, wondering how the load event is not hitting when the form is getting loaded.
I tried creating a simple Hello World form, placed a GroupBox on the form, added a label within the GroupBox, added a MessageBox.Show to the Load Event and it works.
So I then added a MessageBox.Show to my Class Reunion application and it doesn't give me a message box.
Here is the code that setups the form. I eliminated the code for the controls.
this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(683, 344);
this.Controls.Add(this.groupBox2);
this.Controls.Add(this.groupBox1);
this.Controls.Add(this.classmatesBindingNavigator);
this.Name = "ClassReunionPlay";
this.Text = "ClassReunion";
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.ClassReunionPlay_Load);
((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.classmatesBindingNavigator)).EndInit();
this.classmatesBindingNavigator.ResumeLayout(false);
this.classmatesBindingNavigator.PerformLayout();
((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.classmatesBindingSource)).EndInit();
((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.kTReunionDataSet)).EndInit();
this.groupBox1.ResumeLayout(false);
this.groupBox1.PerformLayout();
((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.picturePictureBox)).EndInit();
this.ResumeLayout(false);
this.PerformLayout();
I think you are also right on moving the bindingNavigator because if I call the Load Event, the bindingNavigator shows I have 433 records, when I click the next record button, I do not see any data in the controls.
Thank you,
Glenn

It should be in the .NET Framework SDK

Yeah, that'd be nice. Where is it? 
I see mentions that it might be in the next version of the Windows SDK.

Hello,
I have developped an Add-In for Office Word using Visual Studio 2008 and VSTO.
At some point, as I save an XmlDocument, IsolatedStorage is invloved.
For this particular kind of save, my Application Domain must be correctly set up.
Problem is VSTO is responsible for loading my assembly in its application domain (source: http://www.vikasgoyal.net/office/VSTO%20Application%20AddIn%20Architecture.aspx[^]), and that application domain is not correctly set up (ActivationContext Property is Nothing).
My question is: is it possible to load my assembly in another application domain ? Or is it possible the application domain managed by VSTO ?
Thanks in advance,
Aurélien

Hi,
I am having real trouble finding an article which explains what the relationship is between the various versions of C# and the .NET (and ASP.NET) libraries. I want to be able to answer questions such as: if you want to use, say, C# 4.0, does that tie you to a minimum version of .NET (and the CLR)?
Any pointers would be very much appreciated.
Best wishes, Patrick

Tricky to answer that one. In principle, C# is just a compiler, which compiles code to the CIL (or MSIL). Now MSIL has not changed greatly since standardisation (I don't even think it has changed), so things look bright there. The problems are that:
C# is not a pure compiler. For some language features (for example it's basic object implementation), it relies on the CLR to supply the implementation. So constructs which are added to the language may well rely on specific features of the libraries.
Also when compiling code (which happens in asp.net pages), the compilation will rely on System.CodeDom.Compiler to emit the MSIL. Since System.CodeDom.compiler is part of the CLR, you could say that there is a dependency on the libraries ( I'm pretty sure that when you compile through the C# compiler, the compiler relies on the CLR to emit it's bytecode, and will choose the adequate version of the CLR for it's task.
SO: I'm not sure, this is educated guesswork. Haven't found anything on this subject really.
Anybody can offer some more insight?
Pity that Brad Abrams has just left Microsoft, he would have been the person to ask... He's the father of .Net. http://blogs.msdn.com/brada/default.aspx[^]

Technically, there are no different versions of C#; there are only different versions of the framework, which instruct the IDE, compiler, linker and other tools as to what is correct and what is not. If you use the 4.0 framework, then you are automatically using C# 4.0; if you use the 1.1 framework, then you are using C# 1.1.
Because of this, there is no minimum version of the framework, there is only the version needed by your application. If you compile your app to the 4.0 framework, your user will need to have the 4.0 framework. This is because the code does not reference System.Core, it references System.Core version 4.0.0.0 public key token whatever. If that assembly is not found, your user will not be able to run the app. Likewise, you cannot compile your app to the 2.0 framework and expect it to work if the user has only 3.5 or 4.0.

Not entirely true. .Net framework 3.5 and 4.0 are technically extensions of the 2.0 Framework, though dependant on enhancements made in service pack 1 of 2.0. Therefore anyone with 3.5 or 4.0 installed DOES have 2.0 installed, so 2.0 apps will continue to work fine. However you you will have to build against service pack 1 which only comes as part of the 3.5 and 4.0 bundles. It is not available separately, so you may as well build against the later frameworks even if you do not use their functionality.
3.5 to 4.0 is I believe a breaking change, and likewise 1.0 to 1.1 to 2.0. As far as I am aware only the 2.0 Framework has persisted upstream.
|
|
|
|

3.0 and 3.5 were additive releases to the 2.0 framework that also included some service packs to 2.0.
However, The 4.0 framework is a completely different version than the 2.0 framework. Just having the 4.0 framework does not imply that the 2.0 framework is present.

My god - could this BE any more complicated. I thought .NET was supposed to cure the old 'DLL hell'; seems to have replaced one set of problems with another.
Does anyone know if you can get an installer (or something) that will simplify the process of getting the right version of .NET for an application?
Over the years, I have always found myself having a negative reaction to many Java applications because they just never seemed to work (though this does seem to have improved somewhat recently). The reason could have been bad coding, but I got the feeling a lot of it may have been due to having the wrong framework installed. If I were trying out a .NET application and I got a runtime exception saying the right version of the framework was missing, I'd be that much more likely to ditch the app - especially if it were just something small that I was evaluating.
I guess the point I am really making here is that all this version stuff needs to be something the end-user just doesn't have to worry about or .NET and I as the developer are failing them in a big way and they will simply go back to that old C++ .exe they know and trust.

Actually, scratch the question in my last post. Following the link posted by Jinal, it looks like I need to investigate 'Click Once' deployment maybe.

PS - My first ever program was a plot of X-squared on a ZX81 in BASIC (which crashed because of lack of screen memory after plotting the fourth block); stuff is just too big and complicated for me these days. Maybe I need a new job - pushing trolleys at ASDA maybe.

This information is more difficult to find than it should be. Here is a breakdown which shows how Visual Studio, CLR, and .NET Framework versions relate to each other:
Visual Studio CLR .NET Framework
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visual Studio .NET (Ranier) 1.0.3705 1.0
Visual Studio 2003 (Everett) 1.1.4322 1.1
Visual Studio 2005 (Whidbey) 2.0.50727 2.0
Visual Studio 2005 with .NET 3.0 Extensions 2.0.50727 2.0, 3.0
Visual Studio 2008 (Orcas) 2.0.50727 2.0 SP1, 3.0 SP1, 3.5
Visual Studio 2008 SP1 2.0.50727 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 3.5 SP1
Visual Studio 2010 (Hawaii) 4.0.30319 4.0
As for how C# relates to all of this, the breakdown is:
C# CLR .NET Framework
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.0 1.0.3705 1.0
1.1 1.1.4322 1.1
2.0 2.050727 2.0, 2.0 SP1, 3.0, 3.0 SP1
3.0 2.050727 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 3.5, S.5 SP1
4.0 4.0.30319 4.0
<update>Corrected the information for C# 3.0.
