Hi,
I’m working for a company that requires Video conferencing between two employees I’m intending to code this in Managed C++ over a .NET framework. I’m thinking of using windows media player. Therefore, if "A" wants to connect to "B", A would send a Request (opens the connection) and B accepts the request and establishes a connection. I’m currently using Visual Studio C++ Express Edition.
I’ve been researching this like crazy. I would really like some comments/feedback on starting of this project. Any links or advice will be much appreciated!
Many Thanks

First of all, I would suggest that any sort of UI development with Express Edition is a PITA. If these people want you to write professional code for them, tell them to buy you a decent IDE.
I would have suggested Direct Show generally for this sort of thing, but it appears to have disappeared. I'm not sure how the WMP control is going to help, does it allow video to be streamed to it ? How are you going to capture the video ?

Christian,
Well I need to develop a prototype of it working for my company. Express isn’t to bad for now.
Well basically there will be a list of names on a database linked with their individual ip address/MAC. When A wants to talk to B, he will select the name. B receives a diologbox asking B is they want to accept. IF they accept, a connection is initiated. Unless you a better suggestion?
WMP do allow videos to be streamed to it, the problem its difficulty actually doing that. It will involve a few encoders. There will be a TCP/IP connection to the full connection. There be UDP from each system. I was also thinking if it will be easier to create a separate screen to pop up only contains the video. What do you think?
I hope I have made it clearer.
Thanks for your help

In that case, have you considered C# Express ? b/c UI with Winforms will be easier in C#, and you don't have MFC in C++ Express.

No, the WMP control can be quite happily hosted in a form, there's no trouble there.
I'm sorry, I've not done any video capture, so I can't help much beyond that.

Yeh i have to use Managed C++ so I cant use C#.
Thanks for your help and advise!

OK. I'm interested to know why do you have to use managed C++ ( and not MFC, for example ) ? Surely if you're not hired as a developer ( which I assume from you're having to prove yourself before they will provide tools ), they are lucky to get whatever you're willing to work with ?

I have already started my application with MC++. I had to build a Database Management System in MC++. I can probably integrate C# If I wanted to  . MC++ will produce a more powerfull and robust code
I actually want to Learn MC++ aswell coz im a beginner to it
im research continues

I don't see why MC++ would be more 'robust', although I believe it will be *slightly* faster than the equivelant C# code. Not much, tho.

Hi,
I have created one setup project to create an MSI for my application. In that application i have used one COM DLL , when i developed i registerd that dll manually and added/used in the application.
While giving the msi to testing team, i need to give a msi, which automatically register that DLL in that machine as a part of installation of the application.
Please provide me code or link, which would be more help.
thanks
Happy coding!!

When you look at the properties tab when having selected this dll than you will see a Register property. Just set it to vsdrfCOM or any of the other settings you want.
|
|
|
|
|
HRESULT __stdcall DllRegisterServer()
{
HKEY h1,h2;
RegOpenKey(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,"CLSID",&h1);
RegCreateKey(h1,"{22A4ACB4-3615-11d3-9D85-008048D7F59D}",&h2);
RegSetValue( h2,"InProcServer32",REG_S2,"C:\WINNT\Profiles\muser\sarbjit\comcalc\debug\\comcalc.dll",50);
RegCloseKey(h1);
RegCloseKey(h2);
return S_OK;
}
You can use the above code for auto registering the dll when the dll or the COM Component is invoked.
Thanks

I have one application where all the business logic gets executed under transaction, like if one update fails; all the previous updates would be reverted back.
In a scenario, i tried to drop a message to local MSMQ under the transaction and as well as to a remote queue. While testing, i gave wrong Qpath to test the transaction, if the queue is local queue, it works as expected( I mean the other updates gets reverted), but in case of Remote queue... ... I cant .. other updates gets committed becoz the Q.Send method doesnt throw an exception in case of non-existence of remote queue.
Any help with code would be much appreciated...
Happy coding!!

I looked at the web development message board and my question seems to me to fit better here.
There are three parts to my situation.
1) XML server that pushes XML streams as updates are available to a URL of my choice.
2) Here is the question lies.
3) Normal Service that wants to consume the XML streams from item 1.
Currently I have an ASP.NET page that writes the xml streams to disk, my service has a file watcher
that watches the directory that the ASP.net page is writing the files to.
While this works, I find it far from ideal.
I would like to have a webservice running that would "forward" the xml streams straight to my service and skip the write the files to disk altogether.
I am not sure how to go about this. Should my service have some sort of listener that listens for input from the webservice?
Ideas appreciated,
Steve

Hi all.
I'm in the desperate need for a robust multi-currency API for .NET. It should follow the current rules and regulations for monetary operations and multi-currency apps.
So if you know of any API's that resemble that please let me know asap...
Kind regards,
Johannes Hansen

What do you want it to do for you ?

Well I would be VERY happy if I could get an API that supports currency operations according to local rules and regulations. For instance, it should use "Argentina Rounding" and 2 decimal precision if you are making operations in an Argentina culture and the operations should follow the other rules and regulations that apply to Argentina. But I could settle for less. 
Maybe I could settle for an API that implements various rounding schemes. Swiss rounding, Argentina rounding, bankers rounding etc. The currency precision is already available in the framework today using the CultureInfo class although I'm not sure which standard it follows.
Kind regards,
Johannes Hansen

The SmtpClient does not seem to call the QUIT Command to close the connection to an SMTP server, is this usual behaviour? It appears to keep the connection open between each mail that is sent.
I would assume that at bare minimum it should call QUIT when the application that is using the SmtpClient object is shut down.

J

Didn't your mother tell you impolite to swear like that?
The SmtpClient class is a wrapper for the CDONTS COM Component, and its NewMail class. It is NOT a full .NET implementation of a SMTP client.
It is poissible that the CDONTS class doesn't send a QUIT command. You'll have to setup a packet sniffer between your machine and the network to figure this out. I haven't been able to find any documentation on whether it actually does this or not.
If you have to guarantee a QUIT command being sent, you'll have to implement your own SMTP client in your code. Just Google for "C# SMTP Client" and you'll find a bunch of examples.

I think you are refering to the 1.0/1.1 version of the Web.Mail classes, the new one (2.0) appears to be a ground up implementation of an Smtp Client which would work standalone

Its not that I need the QUIT Command sending, it is workable. If you created a forms app with a button to send a simple mail through the local SMTP server (lets assume IIS), run the application, click the button to send the mail, then restart the IIS SMTP Service, and click send again the application will fall over because the connection was closed, even though the connection has been reopened. We have an inhouse smtp service which causes exactly the same problem because it has a timeout on it, if this is normal behaviour then someone using the SmtpClient would need to wrap it in a Try Catch to resend under these conditions. I would have hoped that the SmtpClient would clean itself up and attempt to reconnect to the server itself. Or send a QUIT message after the message has been sent to the server.
Thanks, James

Nope. 2.0 wraps up the same CDONTS object. It just uses more code to do it.
