in this way i get a byte array.
so if i need to give the file to my friend i need to tell him the key.
How if is it just a byte array?

You can use any representation of the byte data you like. One obvious would be the hexadecimal representation of each byte.

Hello, I need help with the following problem, please.
I am using C# and DirectX 9 to show MPEG-2 video files within a Windows form. Unfortunatelly I often do not get the correct duration of the file when checking the "duration" property, e.g. a 18 second clip assumes to be only 4 seconds long. So all these videos stop playing too early.
Also, it is not possible to jump to certain positions in the video. If I add a new value (e.g. "AverageFrameLength") to the "CurrentPosition" the displayed video proceeds only every n-th frame and skips all frames in between.
I did not have these problems with a MPEG-1 video, for example. With those, everything worked fine.
Does anyone have an idea, why the durations are gathered incorrectly and how I handle this? I searched the whole web for a solution, but it seems nobody else has ever had a problem like this. 
It seems that there are two things that seem have an influence on this situation.
1.) If these video files are converted to use a constant bit rate the duration property seems to get at least get the correct value. Moving from frame to frame still does not work reliably. But as conversion of all files increases their sizes significantly, this ist not an option anyway.
2.) Also, this does not work with every MPEG-2 codec. To receive correct duration values, I first needed to remove the "Moonlight Elecard" MPEG-2 Codec from my system. After that it used another codec automatically. In my case this is the "MPEG-2 Demultiplexer" (Which - I guess - belongs to the DirectX installtion).
Of course, I cannot know what codecs might be installed on a destination system for my application, and even worse, I cannot simply remove a codec from the system just because my app does not like it...
Any ideas?

Hello Sensei,
i had similar problems with divx files. It it figures out that the problem depends on the codec configuration. Perhaps this leads you forward

User don't login to a network, they login to servers. What kind of servers? And from where do you want to determine this information? Client-side or server-side?

Basically I want to check if the user is at the office, logged in at his desk. It will need to be an application running on one machine.

That depends on the server your running this from. Are you talking about checking this in a login script, a web service, web application, insert situation here, ...

Hi,
My problem is as below,
1. I open a window form in .NET
2. place a panel A on the form, where the panel's paint method was overrided
3. on the panel A, I placed a tab control
4. on the tab control, I placed another panel B with overrided paint method.
And I repaint all the two panels A and B (by calling its Refresh() method), but only get the panel A refresh, while panel B has no effect.
Why ???? I have tried method like Update(), invalidate(), validate(),
but all have no effect on panel B.
Thanks

Hi,
I have the following function that checks a database field for DBNull.Value. If it contains DBNull.Value, the it should return "", otherwise the string.
This is my calling function (objCustomer is an instance of the Customer class):
objCustomer.AddressLine1 = Globals.CheckStringForDBNulls(objDr["Address1"]);
This is my static function:
public static string CheckStringForDBNulls(string strCheckString)
{
if(strCheckString.Trim() == DBNull.Value)
return "";
else
return strCheckString.Trim();
}
Something tells me that my parameter string strCheckString is of the wrong type.
Please can someone help me correct this error/problem that I am having.
Regards.

If I were to convert a null value coming from a database to something else, would this be good enough? I do not know to what date I should convert if it contains no values, so I chose 1900/01/01. Any ideas?
public static DateTime CheckDateForDBNulls(DateTime dtCheckDate)
{
if(Convert.IsDBNull(dtCheckDate))
return Convert.ToDateTime("1900/01/01");
else
return Convert.ToDateTime(dtCheckDate);
}
Calling function is:
objCustomer.StartDate = Globals.CheckDateForDBNulls(Convert.ToDateTime(objDr["StartDate"])); // Check for DBNull value
I get a horrible error:
Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.InvalidCastException: Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types.
Please can you help again.

objCustomer.StartDate = Globals.CheckDateForDBNulls(Convert.ToDateTime(objDr["StartDate"]));
Instead of implementing this, try this one
objCustomer.StartDate = Globals.CheckDateForDBNulls(objDr["StartDate"].ToString());
==========
In your static function try this
public static DateTime CheckDateForDBNulls(String dtCheckDate)
{
if(Convert.IsDBNull(dtCheckDate) && IsDate(dtCheckDate)==true)
return System.Date.MinValue;
else
return Convert.ToDateTime(dtCheckDate);
}

As the value can be different types of objects, use the object base class, and check the type of the object:
public static string CheckStringForDBNulls(object strCheckString) {<br />
if (strCheckString is DBNull) {<br />
return string.Empty;<br />
} else {<br />
return ((string)strCheckString).Trim();<br />
}<br />
}

Hi,
I tried the following function, but it doesn't want to work:
//*********************************************************************
//
// CheckStringForDBNulls Static Method
//
// The CheckStringForDBNulls method checks if a string contains a value, if not it
// returns DBNull.Value, or the value of the string.
//
//*********************************************************************
public static DBNull CheckStringForDBNulls(string strCheckString)
{
if(strCheckString.Trim() != string.Empty)
return strCheckString.Trim();
else
return DBNull.Value;
}
Could you please let me know what I am doing wrong? This is used to check the parameter being added, if it contains nothing, the make the value DBNull.Value, or use the value of thr string.
Thanks

the return type of this method is DBNull, so you can only ever return a null value..
i suspect you don't really need a static method to perform this check, and could probably get away with something like this instead :
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(strCheckString))<br />
object = DBNull.Value;<br />
else<br />
object = strCheckString;

I want to put this into a function because I have a 20 checks, and the code can get very long.
Please put the above mentioned code in a function.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't know how well it would work but you could try making your method return Object
|
|
|
|
|
This was how I initially had it, I just thought there might be another way. But thanks for your help, I appreciate it!!
