pwasser is correct, this is not the correct forum. Although it is possible Chris will stumble upon this post, it is unlikely.

On another note, I think you need to be much more specific about what you need clarified.
Most of the CPOL license[^] seems clear enough to me, but then again, I am not a lawyer so there might be holes in it that I don't see.

Soren Madsen

FYI, this post was flagged as potential spam. I let it through the "spam moderation queue" because it does not look like spam.
However, I don't understand why you are asking this question on this site. Is this a software development related question?

Soren Madsen

My answer has 3 links. If you click on them they will take you right to the articles.

Soren Madsen

Thank you Sergey.

I will take a look at your article. This is a busy week with organizational changes going on at my company and I am joining a new team, but I have a feeling I need to read your article today ;-).

Soren Madsen

Is this your actual code? I don't see a return true in InitializeApi().

:-)

Perhaps the article doesn't have a downloadable file. We really cannot help you unless you tell us which project you are referring to. Or better yet, ask your question in the forum at the bottom of the article.

Soren Madsen

You are correct. Things like that are supposed to go here: http://www.codeproject.com/suggestions.aspx[^]

But please include more details about the problem you are seeing.

How many driver entries do you see for the card in your Windows Device Manager?

If you have an SDK from the manufacturer, do yourself a favor and use that instead of fighting with Video For Windows.

Soren Madsen

Are you talking about this? CxImage[^]

I thought OP might be looking for something like Searching for a reliable hardware ID

And when you have done what the other guys have suggested, check out Agner Fog's Optimization Resources[^]

Soren Madsen

That is a lot of code to dump here without telling us more about your problem.

Hmmm... I was going to say the question looks like spam bait, but obviously you are not the intended spam-replier :-)

Soren Madsen

Sorry, I have never seen any mention of that.

For one, you forgot to add the link...

Anyway, this is probably not a good place for this question. It will do better in one of the forums.
Perhaps this forum: Collaboration / Beta Testing[^]

Soren Madsen

When you have been here a little longer you will find that question has been asked and answered many, many times before.

I am not the one who downvoted your answer, but someone probably did that because the question was asked so long ago.

CHill60 is telling you that the question was asked 4 years ago. I was joking with him since you want to convert numbers to words: 4 -> "Four".

I think you mean "Four" years late! ;-)

Soren Madsen

I am not the one who downvoted you, but someone might have done it just because you are answering a two year old question that already has plenty of answers.

Soren Madsen

Don't worry. We are just kidding. ;-)

Soren Madsen

It is a fine line :-). Ironically, I was just watching Fatal Attraction last weekend. :shudder:

Soren Madsen

And here I thought you were getting used to the groupies :-P

Soren Madsen

Very original ;-)

Soren Madsen

It sounds like you problem started happening at the same time they added the new sidebar functionality. Not that the sidebars are new, but the way they scroll has been changed.

Soren Madsen

Actually, this question does have an answer - Solution 1.
If you mean that it has no accepted answers, then don't hold your breath. The member who asked has posted 208 questions here in QA, received many answers, but only accepted 1 (one!) of those answers.

There were a lot of articles in the queue yesterday. That is how I realized they only display the 15 latest submissions in each category.

Soren Madsen

I can download them just fine using the links in the article:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/Frogs/Frogs_demo.zip[^]
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/Frogs/Frogs_src.zip[^]

Soren Madsen

You are a little late, but this sounds like a great solution, so I will give that my 5.
I see the project has a GPL license - what a shame.

Soren Madsen

This is certainly news to me. I download files from CodeProject all the time and have done so for many years, using different browsers and versions of Windows.

What exactly does not work for you?

Soren Madsen

Just a thought, but if you want to do part of your handling in a service and you are afraid the users might stop it, you can add logic to prevent the user from stopping the service.

Even though I have Local Administrator privileges on my system at work, there are services I cannot stop. I admit I have not tried to see if I can kill them through Task Manager, but I suspect not.

You are implementing the service, so you could simply choose to only handle the Stop request if the user is logged in as Administrator or whatever criteria you can come up with.

Soren Madsen

Sorry, I did not get a notification about your comment because you did not reply directly to my comment (it's an easy mistake to make and we see it all the time).

Anyway, I see that you resolved this by taking the Administrator privileges away from the users.

If I was correct when I said above, that you just want a way of determining when the application is closed (which is the last sentence in your question) and you don't really need to restart it, then one (simple/naïve) method could be to have the application periodically write a time stamp to a file and whenever you need to determine when it was closed, you get the time stamp from that file.
It is an oversimplification of a basic method of handling the problem. You could also have a service monitoring in the background (just as you mentioned you tried), but instead of restarting the application, the service stores the time stamp somewhere and basically operates in a more stealthy way than actively restarting the application.

Soren Madsen

Is it a POS printer or just a normal printer?

I ask because Epson created an entire command set called ESC/POS specifically for handling POS printers. There are several commands defined for cutting the paper.

However, you should consider dropping your current approach and instead follow the advice given by Sergey here[^]

Soren Madsen

Your are asking if it is possible to prevent a program from being killed through Task Manager, but that is not really your core problem, right? You just want a way to have a time stamp of when the program was closed.

I think you should change your mindset and ask for ways to capture when a program is no longer running. I can think of several ways of doing that, but I don't know if you also have to account for the case where the user pulls the plug on the system.

Soren Madsen

Sure, I have that at work too. That is why I am asking him if these particular users have those privileges.

Soren Madsen

Are you saying these users have Admin privileges on the systems? In that case it will be tricky to find a solid way of achieving your goal.

Soren Madsen

If you are referring to the "Featured Article" shown on the CodeProject home page, then the answer is "No". It is an automatic rotating selection and articles that show up are picked based on parameters such as age, popularity (views, votes, bookmarks) and whatever else the CP hamsters think makes sense.

Soren Madsen

Those controls are hidden and show up on mouse hover. Try touching somewhere in the middle of the post to see if that reveals the controls.

Soren Madsen

Yeah, OP posted Solution 2 less than 30 minutes after posting the question...
I know my comment has nothing to do with this solution, I just thought I would point it out.

Soren Madsen

Are you talking about a microphone or headset that you plug into a USB port? If that is the case, they have to be treated like any other audio device using the Waveform interface.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd743832(v=vs.85).aspx[^]

That link is for the C++ interface, but it was just to get the ball rolling.

Soren Madsen

What is the difference between a public and a private patient? Perhaps you don't need separate classes. It might just be some sort of 'patientType' enum property you add to your Patient class.

If you believe you need separate classes, it seems like a pretty simple matter of creating those two classes, derived from your existing class.

Soren Madsen

Are you talking about something for World of Warcraft? http://www.wowwiki.com/Teleport#Notes[^]

If so, this is the kind of information you need to supply in order to get any help. Based on your question, only a very few people would be able to guess what you are talking about.

Soren Madsen

I did not actually get a notification about your comment, because you accidentally posted it as a comment to Sergey's solution and not to my comment. It is an easy mistake that a lot of people make (including myself at times :) ). I just wanted to let you know why I had not responded to you comment. Oh, and then there was my car accident[^].

Anyway, let me know if you need some help and I will see what I can do. My code is actually written in C++ and the last time I worked in VB, they had not created VB.NET yet.
Still, it should be possible to figure out how to get you going. And you are right, there will be a lot of string handling involved.

Soren Madsen

You know I agree with you, but this seems to be a legit Open Source project, so I will let it slide.

BTW, I think he did post that exact review on the actual site: Jan 9 at 12:00 PM[^]

Soren Madsen

Please let us know if you get anywhere with this. Personally, I don't think you can make this work since that class is for sending data, not receiving.
I really hope you can use this or other parts of the library - it did not exist when I started development of our solution and I have not looked closely at it since it is used for developing POS software, whereas we would interface to POS solutions by processing the printed data (and other ways).

Soren Madsen

Please check Solution 1 and the comments made by Sergey and myself. If your intention is to do what I have understood from your question, I believe I can help you get started as I have written similar parsers/filters that handle ESC/POS, STAR and other (including various pole display) formats.

I cannot give you all the code as I developed it at my previous job and the POS interface is a premier differentiating feature in the product, but I can help you get started with this task, which has a number of pitfalls.

Soren Madsen

Because he writes "The software I'm dealing with has the ability to either print via a windows printer driver, or directly via sending escpos commands." and later "...and as a line is read from the incoming port, it would then be encoded as per the class I have created."

So, I think he wants to receive the data, just as a printer does, remove (or to some extent interpret) the Epson ESC/POS control codes from the data in order to present the data.

Soren Madsen

As I understand it, he wants to "go the other way". I believe he wants to do this:
- Use a 3rd party software that prints out receipts.
- Receive the receipt data in his application.
- Parse the data and display it on a monitor.

Soren Madsen

Is your goal actually to save the video in all those formats at the same time or are you simply trying to save the video in the format the cameras are sending it in?

Soren Madsen

That's fine. Actually, wait. Nelek had reported him in the forum. Apparently he also posted a Question with spam links. So, I figured people are hitting him with Spam and not Abuse reports.

Soren Madsen

All his comments are similar to that one. http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/MemberComments.aspx?mid=10786704[^]

Soren Madsen

Is it possible he said "...without System" and not "...with Out System"?

Soren Madsen

I have done something similar and I might be able to help you if you have not solved this yet.
Can you show me the part of the code where you put the data in the array, so I can understand exactly what information is present in the data?

Soren Madsen

Ok. The problem is that you have posted this as a Solution, so members that might want to give you an answer, look at your solution and possibly think you have solved your problem.

What you should do is click "Improve Question" and add this as part of your question.

Soren Madsen

Is this your answer or is it intended to be additional information to your question?

Soren Madsen

In addition to the suggestions in the 3 solutions, it is also possible a firewall and/or anti-virus package is slowing performance on the other system.

Soren Madsen

I think it is a Zen thing. Kind of like this[^] :-)

Soren Madsen

I think you have a very long way to go on this or you need to add a lot more information to your question.
How are you interfacing to the camera (your own socket communication or some library/SDK)?
Which camera (make and model) are you trying to interface to?

Soren Madsen

Why did you have to sniff the data? PTZ cameras are controlled using protocols. If you know the protocol being used, you should usually be able to find a document describing all the commands.

Soren Madsen

Solution 56!!! I wonder what the heck happened here four years ago.

Soren Madsen

I feel like passing on a related trick that we had to use when printing an SVG from a web page. It is a bit different than your solution since it looks like you want a fixed size, whereas we want the SVG to auto-scale to max size when printing, but we ran into problems with making it scale the height correctly.

I will put a link to the solution we went with here in the hope that someone will find it useful: http://demosthenes.info/blog/744/Make-SVG-Responsive[^]
The key to solving our problem, was setting padding-bottom to adjust the total height.

Soren Madsen

That is great!

I have not done a lot of work with SVGs, but I have learned that they can be problematic. Different browsers have issues with different things and I believe the VS2010 IDE barked at me for having <circle .... /> instead of <circle ....></circle>. That might just have been IntelliSense, but still...

Anyway, I am glad I could help.

Soren Madsen

Forget about my previous question. I modified the white colored rects to see where you were going, so it looks like it is not rendered correctly in my Solution. That is not really surprising since CodeProject has restrictions on what can be displayed in the posts.

I guess I would try to replace the
<g class="whitesquare">
with
<g style="fill: white">
And remove the <style> part - just to see if it will work.

Soren Madsen

I was experimenting on a file I render locally in my browser (IE11). If I completely take out the <defs><style.....></defs> part, I see the same image as in my Solution, but with the style in there, I see 4 black boxes. What is it supposed to look like?

Soren Madsen

Yeah, I figured it was a long-shot. I just noticed there is an error, but it could be due to a copy-paste problem when you added the question: In the 4th rect (I think), you have an extra '>' ...y="0.0" />><rect height="35"...
I have no idea if that could mess things up badly enough.

Soren Madsen

Thanks Sergey.

I briefly read through your article, but before that I had seen your post in the Suggs and Bugs forum where you mentioned you planned to submit the article on April 1st, so I kind of knew where that was going :-).
I do have something to add to the discussions, but I have not had time to gather my references yet.

Soren Madsen

Dude, this question is over 4 years old!

Soren Madsen

Is this how you solved it or is it just a comment?

Soren Madsen

Take a look at these:
http://support.epson.ru/upload/library_file/14/esc-p.pdf[^]
http://nicholas.piasecki.name/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ESC-POS-Programming-Guide.pdf[^]

Soren Madsen

Yeah, he is saying something along the lines of: "You are confused. I asked how to use the .ipz skin files from within Visual Studio, I did not say anything about using zipped files." And then he finishes of with a very polite "Are you ok?" ;-)

Soren Madsen

I saw your comment directed to Kornfeld's answer, but I have to tell you that he is correct. If you open one of the .ipz files in 7-zip, you will see that it is a compressed file containing multiple bitmaps. I have not looked at it in detail and don't know if the package with the files has some clever hook into Visual Studio once it is installed, but it looks to me like you can follow the answer in Solution 1 to learn more about the files.

Soren Madsen

Comment from OP posted as Answer:
":S what? i said how to use that .ipz skin file in visual studio this is not realated to winRAR or 7Zip are u ok? | :O"

Soren Madsen

I sure hope the OP is not still stuck on this 4 years after asking this question...

Soren Madsen

Please note: This old question was resurrected by a spammer posting Solution 2.

Soren Madsen

It worked? That is awesome!

Soren Madsen

Obviously your code is incomplete, but what exactly is your question?

Soren Madsen

Please stop responding to them.

Please don't respond to the spammers. Just report the spam.

Soren Madsen

What have you tried? Where are you stuck?

Soren Madsen

In addition to your experiment, I wanted to try something else. I recently got to the Gold Level in the Authority category. I just located an answer I upvoted while I was at the Silver level. Upvoting it again gave the author another 10 points.

It's just a little thing, but I wondered if it would work like that and apparently it does.

Soren Madsen

Refresh the page and re-vote. If you want to give 5 stars, click on the right-most only.

Soren Madsen

What have you done so far? Where are you stuck?

Soren Madsen

I am actually not the one asking the question, I merely tried to suggest a different approach than trying to construct a pseudo-vector graphics from a plain bitmap.
Feel free to post your comment under the Question itself or even as a solution if you believe it can help the OP.

Soren Madsen

:-D Good one.

:thumbsup: Nice continued effort.

Soren Madsen

Ok, but you still need to build the tree, right?
Did you update your version of jstree?

Soren Madsen

Go here and click the green Download button: http://www.jstree.com/[^]

Soren Madsen

Good question. I think there is a Readme file in the folder where you have the jstree files.

Soren Madsen

I just took another look at the jstree documentation and I realized the parameters I have been using here based on the old version I used 2 years ago have changed quite a bit. So if you are using the latest version of jstree, try this modified code instead:

var parentId = (employee.PARENT_EMP_ID == 0 ? "#" : employee.PARENT_EMP_ID);
var nodeData = { "data": { text: employee.EMP_NAME, id: employee.EMP_ID, parent: parentId} };

Soren Madsen

Sorry about that. I forgot to ask you which version of jstree you are using.

Soren Madsen

Try using this:
var parentId = (employee.PARENT_EMP_ID == 0 ? "#" : employee.PARENT_EMP_ID);
var nodeData = { "data": { title: employee.EMP_NAME }, "metadata": { id: employee.EMP_ID, parent: parentId} };

(I hope I got that coded correctly)

Soren Madsen

Ok, that sucks. That is what I ran into as well, so I had to build the tree by putting the node building code into a recursive function.

Wait, I just noticed something. In your code, when PARENT_EMP_ID == 0, does that mean they don't have a parent? If that is the case, then according to the jstree documentation[^], you should set the 'parent' attribute to "#".

Soren Madsen

Good. That is what I was going for. I assume you want to show them as an actual tree. I noticed in the documentation for jstree[^], that if you add a 'parent' attribute, jstree will automatically build the hierarchy.
I would be very interested in hearing if that works for you if you add it. So basically built the nodeData like this:
var nodeData = { "data": { title: employee.EMP_NAME }, "metadata": { id: employee.EMP_ID, parent: employee.PARENT_EMP_ID} };

Soren Madsen

Ok, this is progress :) . Does "steve" actually appear as the root of all the rest?

Soren Madsen

Can you see if this code will work?
$.getJSON("Employee/GetAllNodes", function (result) {
var allEmployees = '';

$.each(result, function (keyEmployees, employee) {
var nodeData = { "data": { title: employee.EMP_NAME }, "metadata": { id: employee.EMP_ID} };

if (allEmployees.length == 0) {
allEmployees = [nodeData];
}
else {
allEmployees = [allEmployees, nodeData];
}
});

$("#treeViewDiv").jstree({
"json_data": { "data": allEmployees },
"plugins": ["themes", "json_data"]
});
});


Soren Madsen

Is that using the code with the AJAX call?

Ok, in your latest code, you were only sending one employee object. Then try this line instead:
"json_data": { "data": msg[0].EMP_NAME},

Soren Madsen

If you could please try something real quick, change the line
"json_data": { "data":msg},
to
"json_data": { "data":msg.EMP_NAME},

That should at least give you one node in the tree displaying the name of the employee object you are sending right now. Just to see that things at least come across correctly.

Soren Madsen

Sorry about not getting back to you, but I got caught up in some other things. I have not worked with jstree using AJAX calls. If you switch back to what you had before, I think I can help you.

I realized that the problem is that you are not translating the data objects into the format expected by jstree. This was one of the things I had trouble with as well and, but since my data was not structured as a list of object, but as a "tree data type" (a root node object with a title and a list of child nodes objects, etc.), I figured you might have picked up the method of just passing in the list directly from somewhere. As far as I know, that will not work.

The expected format of the node is shown below. Since you are in the early stages, you can try to simply set the 'text' field for all the nodes. I can give you a sample of the function I have that converts my objects to the format expected by jstree. Unfortunately I don't have the code with me right now, so I have to add that here when I get home 5-6 hours from now.

// Expected format of the node (there are no required fields)
{
id : "string" // will be autogenerated if omitted
text : "string" // node text
icon : "string" // string for custom
state : {
opened : boolean // is the node open
disabled : boolean // is the node disabled
selected : boolean // is the node selected
},
children : [] // array of strings or objects
li_attr : {} // attributes for the generated LI node
a_attr : {} // attributes for the generated A node
}


Soren Madsen

Yes, that is what I was trying to lead you to in my comment to the question.
Actually, don't call it 'word' (because that has a different meaning in programming), call it 'string' instead.

Soren Madsen

Look at the two lines right above that line. Do you see the difference in how the variable (answer) is written compared to the text?

Soren Madsen

Please ask these kind of questions in the Site Bugs / Suggestions forum[^].

Soren Madsen

Awesome! Glad I could help.

Soren Madsen

You are making two mistakes here.
- You have posted this as an answer, which it obviously is not.
- You have accepted it as a solution to your problem.

When you do these things, people that normally look at the list of unanswered questions to help out with will not see this and you risk not getting any answers.
So, you should really delete this Solution as soon as possible.

Soren Madsen

Which application are you talking about?

Soren Madsen

Does it work when your controller only returns a single Employee object instead of the list?

Soren Madsen

I don't always get around to voting answers up, but here I learned something, so... :)

Soren Madsen

Nifty. I did not know about that one (probably because I never really needed it). :thumbsup:

Soren Madsen

Thanks. BTW, do you know when Dependency Walker was removed from the Microsoft Windows/Platform SDK tools and took on a life of its own?

Soren Madsen

I don't think there is an actual System Shutdown notification, but the system will stop your service as part of the process and you could simply send an email whenever your service is being stopped.
However, I would not try to do that unless I really, really have to. You risk timing out because other services your mail feature relies on have been stopped before your service. If your service does not stop within a certain time, the system will simply kill it and the whole thing is useless.

Have you considered alternative behavior?

Soren Madsen

I am guessing you copied the error message in the subject line (between the ""), so let me ask you: Did the message contained HTML code?
If that is the case, the system probably stripped it out when you posted the question.

Please click "Improve question" and copy the error message and the part of the code that causes it.

Soren Madsen

I think that is very helpful. :thumbsup:

Soren Madsen

Kudos for figuring out the real problem :thumbsup:

Soren Madsen

Great! Glad I could help.

Soren Madsen

Interesting. I did not know about that (referring to the quote you added).

Soren Madsen

Sorry, I didn't see your update before I posted Solution 2. I would answer that by saying you should set it on both sides, but I don't think it will solve your problem. If it fails on your local network when you have it configured on one end, it will most likely still fail even if you configure it on both ends.

Soren Madsen

I agree. Assuming the OP is able to change the formatting of the items in the database or add tables. It's not really clear from the question.

Soren Madsen

Those are nice links. :thumbsup: I will have to bookmark them for a rainy day.

Soren Madsen

It does look like each entry ends with an amount followed by a closing parenthesis. But that's a thin rule. It's real thin.

Soren Madsen

No, that is not what I was saying. I was not suggesting that you change your code to use non-blocking sockets, but that you do the ioctlsocket() call from thread B when it has detected the idle situation and only to force the recv() to exit.

Soren Madsen

I had originally posted Solution 2, but I wanted to change a few things. Big mistake. I tried modifying the text several times, but after submitting, it would HTML encode the Image tag inside the SVG and the images would not display.
If anyone know why the system behaves like that, please tell me. If you see something in my solution that you want to change, don't.

Soren Madsen

Nice catch. :thumbsup:

Soren Madsen

Wow, you were able to figure out a solution right after you posted the question.

You should have posted this as a solution.

Soren Madsen

Did this solve your problem?

Soren Madsen

Can't you just go to "My Settings", navigate to the "Newsletters & Emails" tab and uncheck everything?

Soren Madsen

:thumbsup:

From OP:

Hi christian,

SO how i fix this?

I just needed to send the table with formatting text to this div.

Thanks.alis

So SetBitmap() returns a handle to the previous bitmap loaded in the control and your fix is to do DeleteObject() on that if it is non-NULL, correct?
I think that is something that is easily overlooked and I will go through some of my projects to check if that is done consistently.

Soren Madsen

Just to be accurate, you are actually talking about making the image 1/4 the size of the original image, not 1/2 the size. That's fine, I just thought I would bring it up because there is a difference.

Soren Madsen

If not vague, then at least incomplete. You did not say in your question that you didn't want to use emulated USB to serial port.

Soren Madsen

I know. I think we need the zombie icon[^] on old questions :)

Soren Madsen

Not only is the question vague, it is 2 years old. I am afraid the question was resurrected today by Solution 4.

Soren Madsen

BTW, now that you have sorted out the mutex issue, I should mention that we use COXInstanceManager from The Ultimate Toolbox[^] (free, hosted and maintained here at CodeProject). That class has several nice features, including passing command line parameters to an already running instance.
I couldn't say if it would solve your problem and if you don't already use the library it might be more work than you want to do to get it fully integrated into your project, but I thought I would mention it anyway.

Soren Madsen

If you got it working, that's great. If you have not already done so, I will recommend that you fire up Sysinternals - Process Explorer[^]. Go to the View menu and check "Show Lower Pane", then below that menu item got to "Lower Pane View" and select "Handles". Now you can examine details about the handles used by your applications and by right-clicking on your mutex handle, selecting Properties, going to the Security tab you can drill down to see the privileges users and groups have for accessing the mutex.

Soren Madsen

That does sound weird. I also have projects where Windows services and applications access a mutex and I do not have the problem you are describing. In most of our cases (possibly all our cases), we are creating the mutex and applying a Security Descriptor in order to limit access to the mutex based on the logged in user's privileges, but I don't know if that would change the behavior.

Soren Madsen

From OP: "But the author post date is 29 May 2007"

Can you clarify this? In my experience, KarstenK is correct. The return value is a handle to the existing mutex and GetLastError() returns ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS just as documented[^]. It is then up to you to make you program behave 'correctly', whatever that is in the specific context of your application.

Soren Madsen

Your link doesn't work, the question is over 2 years old and was a poor question to begin with.

Soren Madsen

You link appears to be broken. Try this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682418(v=vs.85).aspx[^]

I also recommend checking out this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms684295(v=vs.85).aspx[^]

Soren Madsen

That is just a repost of the first link in Solution 1.

Soren Madsen

Please explain what you mean by "an expert system". What is it supposed to do?

Soren Madsen

Not really sure why you answered this one. She is psychic, she already knew all this. :laugh:

Soren Madsen

What???

Ah, ok. Yes, I have experienced links that lead to a question without answers displayed even though there are answers.

Soren Madsen

Your solution is a little late to the party, but since it is a question I see being asked every once in a while and you have provided a comprehensive and working solution, I think it is ok for you to post this answer. :thumbsup:

Soren Madsen

Not that I can see. Besides, your answer is C# as per the tag given by the OP.

Soren Madsen

That doesn't really answer the question about how to compare images.

Soren Madsen

That link was already provided in Solution 1 and in Solution 2...

That answer was already given in Solution 1.

Soren Madsen

Are you saying this fixed your problem?

Soren Madsen

Technically, the other post is the Repost, but since it has a solution, this one should be removed.

Soren Madsen

Wicked ;)

Soren Madsen

You need to give us more information, such as the URL that is causing this...

Soren Madsen

Please select "Improve question" instead of putting additional information here.

Soren Madsen

That has to be some kind of record :). Maybe someone should tell Dave that he has a message waiting in Solution 2 :).

Soren Madsen

I don't think that is what he wants to do. I think he wants to have his web server located in one single place (let's say in India), but make it look like it is in Sweden so a Swedish person will feel more comfortable connecting to it.

Soren Madsen

This seemed like a promising tip, but it was already enabled for my Local Intranet zone and enabling it for the Internet zone did not change the behavior. Thanks anyway.
I had only glanced over those settings because there are so many and it is difficult to guess what might work.

Soren Madsen

Thanks, but that is deprecated and replaced with dispatchEvent() (starting with IE9, I believe). I tried it out just now, but I got a script error.

Soren Madsen

Is this what solved your problem or are you asking a question?

Soren Madsen

I for one would just love it if you could expand a tiny bit on this. As it is now, it has absolutely nothing to do with the question.

Soren Madsen

So, you posted the question and 3 minutes later you figured out the solution...

I decided to go ahead and put it in the forum so the account can be cleaned up.

Soren Madsen

I will wait a few minutes. I don't think this one will last long.

Soren Madsen

I smell a setup here...

I am confused about these 3 (so far) Questions and Answers you have posted. Do you have a problem you need help with or is this your way of showing how to do these things?

Soren Madsen

Yeah, but you really need the audio too so you can enjoy that high pitched screaming from the fans. :)

Soren Madsen

Sorry, but I want to confirm that too. Are you sure you don't mean Visual Studio 2005?

Soren Madsen

I just saw your update regarding resolution and frame rate (I am guessing 15 FPS per camera). Those are not scary numbers these days, but it might be just out of reach for an Atom D525.

Soren Madsen

It is possible, but since everything goes through DirectShow, it is not something I consider simple. I got this link from the Logitech support forum - I don't really know why they link to their own page through the "Wayback Machine", but I assume it is lost for some reason (or the forum is not actually an official Logitech forum, weird): http://web.archive.org/web/20111026041525/http://www.quickcamteam.net/documentation/faq/can-i-use-logitech-webcams-for-my-own-application[^].

And as you can see from this link, it is really up to you to dig through the interface and figure out how to set the camera up: http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Webcams/Taking-full-advantage-of-the-H-264-Logitech-C920-using/td-p/1052709[^].
I am pretty sure the user posting that question had a problem because most of the AMCap implementations you will find (it looks like each web cam manufacturer distributes their own build of AMCap) fail to enumerate all of the pins.
If you run into this problem, I can dig up the code I have (somewhere) that correctly identifies all output pins just as the user posting this question on SO used (the answer at the bottom mentions the way to change the Bit Rate): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11695508/how-to-control-bitrate-mediasubtype-h264-directshow[^]

I have not tried using EMGU CV, but it might be easier to do all this using a library like that.

Soren Madsen

It is gone now because it has been reported as a Repost by 3 members. Technically, it is not deleted, but it will not show up in the list of questions any longer.

Soren Madsen

It will probably work fine most of the time if both applications are on the same machine and possibly on a small scale LAN, but things work differently on a larger enterprise network, not to mention over the Internet.

Soren Madsen

That works right up until it breaks. How do you determine that the stream is empty?
When you get to the point where there is no more data available for you to fetch, the sending side might not be done sending yet. A lot of things can happen to cause intermittent delays on TCP connections.

Now, you have not said what kind of data you are transmitting and there are cases where the object size can be deduced from information within the data, but as a general rule, I agree with what Sergey said in his answer.

Soren Madsen

I just came back to see if this worked. I will give you an upvote for your effort even though it did not work for the OP. It must have worked for the person who made the post you linked to.

Soren Madsen

He's one of the Toolbox spammers.

Soren Madsen

For one, you are doing switch( result ), when you should be doing switch( operand ).

Yes, I totally agree. Sorry if I did not make that clear.

It would be interesting to hear if it works for the OP. According to Microsoft, SQL Server 2005 is not supported on Windows 8: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562[^]

Soren Madsen

There is work to be done for sure. Maybe Brisingr Aerowing[^] is looking for a new project:)

Soren Madsen

If you could make it work using USB 3.0, you could be looking at throughputs higher than you can achieve with your 1 Gbit/s LAN connection (although not quite as flexible). I found a cable to do the connection, but it looks like there is still a lot of work to be done before we can actually use it.

Thanks Sergey.

It is possible the OP wants to develop the client side browser plugin from scratch (not using Silverlight), but there are a lot of things that can fail in that endeavor.

Soren Madsen

Thanks Rohan. I realize the OP is asking for C# code, but first it has to be captured and sent to the server.

Soren Madsen

I believe I understand what you would like to accomplish. You want to have a field where you type in a date and the input adheres to a pre-defined formatting mask. I don't remember if that is the right term and I don't remember the correct identifiers that are normally used, but essentially something like having "##/##/####" as a pre-defined mask.
The field starts out completely empty and as the user types digits, the function automatically fills in the '/' characters.
