What do you find interesting?
I've produced an article here on Code Project about an application I made for the Pocket PC. Personally, I think it is very interesting.
An International Hangman Game for the Pocket PC[^]

Interesting in that way, that it is interesting to test the usability of
that PocketPc application (this application should be able to use from many
people)? does anybody know one? - and would be in best case free downloadable.
thx
regards

I still don't think I understand what you mean. From my interpretation of what you are asking for things like Pocket Word and Pocket Excel would count. Both of those applications come with the Pocket PC itself.

Hi
I installed DirectX SDK for C#, but I can't use it cuz the assemblies doesn't exist, I tried to find them, but nothing.
Someone knows where Microsoft.Directx.*.dll files are?
Thanks in advance

For my machine, they reside in "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Managed DirectX\v9.02.2904"
Have you made sure that you've installed the latest DirectX Runtime to your machine ? By DX Runtime, I mean the DirectX installation package you can get from Microsoft that allows you to play DirectX games.

I had the same problem...I kept on having files missing no matter what I downloaded...so at the end I downloaded everything related to DirectX from microsoft's website... The SDK isn't enough...you need to download the redistributable runtime package which will install the missing files (Microsoft.DirectX.dll etc...) Also, you'll need to install the package on every machine you wish to run your application on...Cheers

OPC defines two main components(COM) registered in opcserver category : OpcServer & OpcGroup. I have written two coresponing classes as follows that implement the required Interfaces as defined by OPC.
[Guid( "926EFA52-C020-4259-B879-203512901EAF" )]
[ProgId("FAHM OPC Server 1")]
[ComVisible( true )]
public class OpcServer: IOPCServer, IOPCCommon, IOPCItemProperties, IOPCBrowseServerAddressSpace
{}
[Guid( "075A7104-076F-481f-8CCF-11BA9AE375EB" )]
[ProgId("FAHM OPC Group 1")]
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
public class OpcGroup: IOPCItemMgt, IOPCAsyncIO2, IOPCSyncIO, IOPCGroupStateMgt
{}
I can in a not managed programming language such as delphi or c++ create an instance of them and call all methods of both of them and QueryInterface them to all implemented Interfaces and see they are working by showing just a messagebox for test.
The problem is that the IOPCServer Interface defines a method AddGroup as follows that returns an instance of OPCGroup and has following signature in c++ and c#:
c++:
virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE AddGroup(
/* [string][in] */ LPCWSTR szName,
/* [in] */ BOOL bActive,
/* [in] */ DWORD dwRequestedUpdateRate,
/* [in] */ OPCHANDLE hClientGroup,
/* [in][unique] */ LONG __RPC_FAR *pTimeBias,
/* [in][unique] */ FLOAT __RPC_FAR *pPercentDeadband,
/* [in] */ DWORD dwLCID,
/* [out] */ OPCHANDLE __RPC_FAR *phServerGroup,
/* [out] */ DWORD __RPC_FAR *pRevisedUpdateRate,
/* [in] */ REFIID riid,
/* [iid_is][out] */ LPUNKNOWN __RPC_FAR *ppUnk) = 0;
c# :
void AddGroup(
[In, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string szName,
[In, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)] bool bActive,
[In] int dwRequestedUpdateRate,
[In] int hClientGroup,
[In] ref int pTimeBias,
[In] ref float pPercentDeadband,
[In] int dwLCID,
[Out] out int phServerGroup,
[Out] out int pRevisedUpdateRate,
[In] ref Guid riid,
[Out, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.IUnknown)] out object ppUnk);
When in the unmanged code call this method of IOPCServer, it seems to be ok, but the returned object in ppUnk that supposed to be a IOPCItemMgt fails to execute any of its methods and raises an memory exception. I tried following implementation for OPCSerevr.AddGroup but all of them have the same wrong result:
impl. 1:
Type typeofGroup = Type.GetTypeFromProgID( "FAHM OPC Group 1" );
if( typeofGroup == null )
throw new Exception("OPC Server Not Found");
object grp = Activator.CreateInstance( typeofGroup );
IntPtr pRes = IntPtr.Zero;
IntPtr pUnk = Marshal.GetIUnknownForObject(obj);
Marshal.QueryInterface(pUnk, ref riid, out pRes);
Marshal.Release(pUnk);
Marshal.Release(pUnk);
if (!pRes.Equals(IntPtr.Zero))
ppUnk = pRes;
else
Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHR(HResult.E_NOINTERFACE);
impl. 2:
object grp = new OpcGroup();
ppUnk = IntPtr.Zero;
ppUnk = Marshal.GetComInterfaceForObject(grp, typeof(IOPCItemMgt));
impl. 3:
object grp = new OpcGroup();
ppUnk = grp;
impl. 4:
object grp = new OpcGroup();
ppUnk = (IOPCItemMgt)grp;
And for each of mentioned lines in above implementaions I surrounded it with a try-catch block and showed messageboxes after each successfull or failed block, and it seems that none of them fails, but I don't know why the returned IOPCItemMgt is incorrect. Can anyone help me?

Invoking "ipconfig /all" from the command line displays a lot of useful information about the network configuration, including IP addresses.
I'm trying to determine the IP addresses to the DNS servers from a C application but have so far only been able to extract the host/local IP address - by using the functions gethostname and gethostbyname.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
Olof

GetAdaptersAddresses
The GetAdaptersAddresses functions retrieves the addresses associated with the adapters on the local computer.

I've got troubles to build a project (in debug mode): under VC++6.0 it works very well, but when I try to compile it on another PC with VC++.NET, I got some link issues: mfc libs were missing (msc42d.lib, mscn42D.lib....). When I finally got all that missing dlls, I had this message: "external unresolved: _iid_iactivescriptdebug" and "external unresolved: _iid_iactivescriptparse". Wich I suppose are defined in another (more recent) version of these dlls.
Anyway, does anybody have a clue to this pb.
Maybe I didn't install well the .NET software, but I reinstalled it with all the options I found, and it didn't help...
Please HELP..............

I'm sorry I used the word DLL, but it is LIB that I meant: I had all the dll required, only LIBs were missing

VC++ .NET installs the MFC version 7.1 files on your computer. These files are 'almost' backwards compatible with the MFC version 4.2 ones, which are installed by VC++ 6.0. You should modify your project settings to include mfc71d.lib and mfcs71d.lib, respectively (Yes, you have typoed there).
The reason that your builds fail might be because you're using a interface definitions that are possibly deprecated (== not supported anymore). The only option is to go through the code and change these to the appropriate, supported values. Because it's a linker error, you should use a feature like "Find in Files..." in the IDE.
If these are, like I believe, GUID identifiers of COM interfaces, you can always use the command __uuidof( interface name ) to return the GUID where needed. This command always gets the correct GUID for the current file version, regardless of what version you're using.

Hello,
I've two versions of crystal reports. v9.1.5000 and v9.2.3300. VS.NET 2003 IDE shows only v9.1.500 in the .NET assembly reference dialog. Is it possible that different versions of same assembly are shown in .NET assembly reference dialog??
Thanks,
Hatim Ali.

I'm looking for a way to get the PixelFormat of the Screen ( Desktop ). I tried to find it in the MSDN, though I didn't found anything.
In the current project I draw a a few bitmaps quite often, and to speed it up I planning to convert the bitmaps at startup to the current PixelFormat of the screen.
Hope somebody can help me,

I made a class in VB.NET which communicates with COM port. For that purposes, I used several API functions. I am convinced that I have regularly called them (I have experience with C++). The problematic piece of code executes in a separate thread.
It happens that the main program terminates unexpectedly, with no message, as I closed it myself. It did not happen until I implemented mentioned class. I use .NET Framework 1.1.
I tried to write in log file information when a function is called and then when it returns, but that did not help – log files were interrupted in the middle of writing string to file.
I suspect that the issue is connected with API, but I do not understand why no exception is thrown. Let me mention that my class has no link with the main program, it starts the thread which monitors COM port events and writes them into internal buffer. The main program, occasionally, reads that buffer.
Is this happening only to me?

No, I've also experienced various strange effects when using interop when my function declaration didn't fit.
Recheck your interop declarations, they're probably the cause...

it keeps saying the the file name is invalid!
How about the 2nd argument? what IS IT ?

I'm looking to write an app that will pull data from a txt, excel, or access file. I would like to have 2 combobox2 pull names from col 1 and Row 1 and return info to a couple of labels depending on the selected value. This would be the equilivent of vLookup in Excel I believe. So...
Size TW THHW THHN
18 - - 14
16 - - 18
14 20 20 25
12 25 25 30
if Combobox 1 was selected as 14 and combo box 2 THHW Label 1 would return a value of 20. Can someone please tell me what this operation is called in VB.NET so that I may lookup how to do this. I can build the table in any of the above formats, .txt, .xls., or .mdb. The idea being that I can update the values eaisily when needed.
Thanks for your time,
Glisson

I'm resizing multiple 24 bit RGB images from 752x480 to 640x480. When some of the images are resized the interpolation (at least I'm assuming that's the cause) is shifting the image down one pixel; this happens with about 50% of them. Since they're sequential images, which are then saved into a video, this shift causes vertical jitter.
The following is the function I'm using to resize the images. Since I'm only resizing horizontally bilinear is all that's required. I've tried both Bilinear and HighQualityBilinear, neither makes a difference.
public static Image HighQualityResize(Image source, int newWidth, int newHeight, bool useBicubic)<br />
{<br />
System.Drawing.Bitmap retImage = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(newWidth, newHeight, source.PixelFormat);<br />
System.Drawing.Graphics graphic = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(retImage);<br />
<br />
if(useBicubic)<br />
{<br />
graphic.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
graphic.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.Bilinear;<br />
}<br />
<br />
graphic.DrawImage(source, 0,0, retImage.Width, retImage.Height);<br />
return retImage;<br />
}
Am I doing something wrong? Is there something that I need to do in addition to remove jitter? I don't understand why this is happening...
