Aside from using a hardware video encoding/decoding device, is there an easy was to capture frames from streaming videos and tag each frame with the current GPS coordinates? Assume I am using windows, and I have the GPS coordinates sent in via USB and the camera is hooked up also. Any api or framework available for this? ...
Is it possible to encapsulate other windows apps in a .Net MDI form? The source code is not available for these apps... there's a set of programs we use that would be nice to have all wrapped into one app... An easy example would be maybe having a .net mdi form app that has a calculator button. When its clicked, it opens the windows cal...

I need a fast replacement for the System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<TKey, TValue>. My application should be really fast. So, the replacement should support: Generics Add Get Contains ... and that's it. I don't need any support in LINQ or anything. And it should be fast. A simple code like: Stopwatch stopWatch = Stopwatch.StartN...
Is anyone aware of any simple way to anglicize a string? Currently, in our system, we're doing replacements on "invalid" characters, such as shown below: ret = ret.Replace("ä", "ae"); ret = ret.Replace("Ä", "Ae"); ret = ret.Replace("ß", "ss"); ret = ret.Replace("ç", "c"); ret = ret.Replace("Ç", "C...
I am writing a server control that is a search box with suggestions (when the user starts typing, matching words will appear for them to select). I am using jquery and C#. The control works fine when I include the jquery Lib on the page that I am testing on. However, it will not work when I attempt to embed the lib in the DLL. I have...
Below is an article about .net framework's use of patterns. I'm not sure I understand the bolded part in the excerpt below. Is it implying if you change the details of creating the object, you (might) change the constructor arguments? There are many cases in the Framework where you can obtain a new instance of a struct or class ...
I'm interested to know how people work in large teams of developers. I work on my own, and each time I create a brand new control, I create a new project to keep all the related files together. I have various common helper assemblies that I import but, for the most part, distinct controls are kept in distinct projects. I'm wondering w...
Questions Should the Data Access Layer (DAL) and Business Logic Layer (BLL) be exposed through interfaces or through abstract base classes? When should we choose abstract classes instead of interfaces and when interfaces instead of abstract classes? Is one benefit of using abstract base classes that if external party decides to ext...
I have struggled with this for a long time, and I did get a solution working eventually but it wasn't pretty, and I am hoping to gain a little wisdom from the stackoverflow community about how this should be done. Basically I am working with motors that connect to the computer using a daisychained USB connection and I have to communicat...
Although there are a lot of posts about .net config files, I believe that my requirements do not allow for any of the solutions proposed (or I don't understand the process enough to make it work for me). The situation is that I have a Windows Forms application (could just as well be another app) which binds certain user input fields (e....
Since 3rd party integration is not allowed in Visual Studio Express Editions, MySQL doesn't show up as an option for adding a data source to the Database Explorer (or Server Explorer?) in Visual C# 2008 Express Editions. This makes it incredibly confusing to try to configure MySQL to work with Entity Framework when you can't use dialog ...
We’re about to deploy version 1.2 of a software project I was working on, up from version 1.1. As it stands right now, there are a few outstanding workflows that are still in progress that will break if we update the workflow and supporting assemblies to version 1.2 because the serialized workflows will be looking for version 1.1 of th...
Hi guyz After I loaded a new reference to my project, I can no longer run my program on another pc without installing it. I attached an image of the exception message. If anybody can help I would really appreciate it! ...
I'm dealing with some really pain in the ass servers, and I'd like them to just use transactions without DTC (for now so I can concentrate elsewhere). I use multiple databases within the scope, so the typical behavior is to promote, but I want to avoid it. What would the behavior be of an in-doubt transaction under this model, if it's ...
I need to encrypt a string on the iPhone and send it to a .Net for decryption using Triple DES. I am able to encrypt/decrypt on the iPhone and with .Net, but I get different results in both platforms. I use the very same code as the encryption/decryption with AES between .Net and iPhone in here The only thing that I changed .net is t...
As the WebBrowser control does not expose a get accessor for the DocumentText property you cannot use it to obtain the HTML that was loaded into this control. Does anyone know a way to obtain the HTML as a string? I am using .NET CF3.5. ...
We're thinking about adding more LINQ tests for ORMBattle.NET, but have no more ideas. All LINQ tests there are checking common LINQ functionality: Any test must pass on LINQ to IEnumerable For any test, there must be at least one ORM, on it passes (actually it doesn't matter if it is listed @ ORMBattle or not). Currently the goal of...
There is an IP web camera that I wrote a .NET class for sometime ago. It's basically a Timer implementation that pings a snapshot CGI script from the camera every five seconds. The camera itself is very rudamentary; it does not have any sort of API for me to work with, the only thing I can do programmatically (remotely) is invoke this...
I have a timer in a windows service (.NET C#). I need to be able to change the elapsed value from an external program. If the timer is currently running, I need to be able to shorten the time elapsed value from an external program. I was thinking of having a public method in the service that would change the timer elapsed value and r...
