How do I add this to my code to use AdsDDCreate? D'Oh! | :doh:

Or do I need too?

UNSIGNED32 AdsDDCreate( UNSIGNED8 *pucDictionaryPath,
   UNSIGNED16 usEncrypt,
   UNSIGNED8 *pucDescription,
   ADSHANDLE *phAdminConn );

I am trying to create a data dictionary using an Advantage Client Engine in VB.net with ASP.net.

Then I am going to use

AdsDDCreate( "n:\\MyData\\myData.ADD", 0, "Database describtion", &hDD );

Thanks

It would help if you explained what happened, and what was supposed to happen.

Can't manage to P/Invoke that Win32 API in .NET? Why not do interop the wiki way!

yup I found that shortly after I posted but it seems it doesent have the same kinda functions that it does in java, but after a nice little search I found a DLL that was made on planet sorcecode that lets you have the same function's in VB, just needed to call the reference.
thanks for the info anywho

Graphical Representation of Sound intensity

Is there any way to graphically represent sound (waves or bars or anything) intensity. Like those in the Graphic equallizers that dinamically move? Confused | :confused:

Thanks.;)

I knew that writting decent code was not easy, but not so complex :p

If you want to write your own solution, you'll have to do some reasearch into Fast Fourier Transforms, or FFT. You'll find that it's a bit CPU intensive to do. There are plenty of examples on the web, but you'll have to translate most of them to VB.NET yourself. Just search for "Fast Fourier Transform Spectrum Analyzer".

If you want there are two ways to display the audio file.
1. Analog output, like a old oscilloscope.
For this, just read the data file and display in a moving graph.
2. FTT graph.
This required a lot of process power, as you would need to keep
resampling on the fly. I'm not sure if your looking to do any
type of analysis, so the Analog output method would be more well
suited

Redirecting Standard output in an unmanaged DLL

madfiddlerchris30-Jul-04 4:56

I have a WINDOWS application that calls an unmanaged DLL (it's a JNI). The DLL redirects standard output and standard error for the JVM that is initiated.

Unfortunately the DLL function returns an error whilst performing this redirection.

I have created a test CONSOLE application which, essentially does the same thing but I have redirected standard output and standard error before calling the function in the DLL and this works fine. Applying the same method in the WINDOWS application does not work and an error is returned

Here is the code for the CONSOLE app (that works)...

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.IO

Module Module1

<DllImport("myJNI.dll")> _
Public Function myFunction() As Integer
End Function

Sub Main()

Dim returnCode As Int16
Dim stdout, stderr As String
Dim fsStdOut, fsStdErr As StreamWriter

Try
stdout = "c:\out.txt"
fsStdOut = New StreamWriter(stdout)
fsStdOut.AutoFlush = True
Console.SetOut(fsStdOut)
Catch exc As IOException
Debug.WriteLine(exc.Message & "Cannot open " & stdout & " file.")
End Try
Try
stderr = "c:\err.txt"
fsStdErr = New StreamWriter(stderr)
fsStdErr.AutoFlush = True
Console.SetError(fsStdErr)
Catch exc As IOException
Debug.WriteLine(exc.Message & "Cannot open " & stderr & " file.")
End Try

returnCode = myFunction()
Console.WriteLine("myFunction returned " & Str(returnCode))
fsStdOut.Close()
fsStdErr.Close()

End Sub

End Module

So does a .NET WINDOWS application tie up stdout/stderr in some way and if so how can I get around this?

Any help appreciated!

merging projects??

Is there a way to do this. I have 2 seperate projects that I want to be able to run together, and experienced problems when trying to import all the code into the other one, that and one has different references, so trying to manually import the code is a real pain.

but when I try to make reference to a class in the other project it cannnot find it.

Thanks for the help

Re: merging projects??

Depending on how your projects are written, you can't just "merge" the two together. You'll most likely have to copy the files into one of the projects and modify them to use a common namespace.

The only other way to do it would be to add the two projects in question to the same Solution. Either way, you'll have to modify the code to work.

You must install the .NET Framework on the machine first, before you can install your app.

There are a bunch of articles here on CP that deal with installing the .NET Framework with your application. Look at these[^] search results.

DirectX 9

29-Jul-04 23:35

I have installed the managed directx sdk version 9. I have written an application in vb.net that displays some very basic artificial life forms that move in flocks around the screen using Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw. I am successfully drawing to both surfaces (Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Surface) and calling the Surface.Flip method to put the buffer surface's content onto the main surface (Surface.Flip makes the surface memory associated with the BackBuffer surface become associated with the front-buffer surface). What I can't manage to do is keep the back surface's content without it dissapearing i.e. I want to carry on overlaying what I am drawing onto it with each flip. I know why it is lost - when a flip is carried out the pixels are blitted to the main surface. I need some way of maintaining it on the back surface. Does anybody know how to do this?

Jim

To adapt your engine to this, after the flip, you'd have to copy the image on the surface that's displayed to the back page surface.

Thanks for your reply.
I did try doing that using the Surface.Draw method. This "copies" the contents of one surface to another. However it defeats the object of what I am trying to do because it merely performs the same bit block transfer that the Flip method does i.e. transfers not copies. The main problem I have is finding a way to copy the contents of a surface, retain it and draw it back onto a surface.

Then I don't get what the problem is. In all the code examples I've seen for DX, I've actually had to clear the drawing surface myself before I started drawing the new frame. If I didn't, then I'd se trails of everything. I guess I don't understand the effect your looking for?
