I don't see how anyone can answer that for you without writing you a firewall. Why do you need to write one ?

I'm sure if you look round SourceForge and the other open-source sites you'll find the code for one.

If you need to "intercept http", it will be a lot easier for you if you write a proxy, not a firewall. There are samples here in Codeproject of proxies that do this.

I am reading from an XML file and I need to convert a value from the variant string that I get to a double. How do I go about doing something like that?

atol, and use _bstr_t to convert your string into a char * first. If you put the string into a _bstr_t, the conversion to char * is implicit.

Actually, I think you can shove it into a variant_t and ask it to ChangeTo a double.

Thanks for your help, it sent me on the right track. After playing with ChangeType I found out that
the variant_t will do the conversion for me as it has the double() operator overloaded.
Thanks Again,

Great - glad to help. My experience with variant_t and VARIANT is limited, so I have only a vague idea.....

I am looking for a way to programmatically convert MIDI data to sound data (such as WAV) and then have that handed back to my program or saved to a file. Although I have found plenty of stuff about waveout functions, DirectX, DirectSound, etc., it seems as though the results of the soundcard processing always head straight out to the speakers. Is there a way that I can register my program (or a file) as the destination of the sound generator so that I can effectively convert MIDI to WAV and then do further processing on that sound data? Any ideas are appreciated.

ADO: how can u access the number of records in a given table again?
-- WITHOUT having to enumerate all records and increment some sort of counters?
thanks

No worries - I've asked dumber questions. I believe the response you get from ADO is a single cell called 'count', so that is what you need to select. ADO.NET has executescalar, which is far nicer.

*grin* I know, but I thought you may not be aware what it comes back as, and that it might be hard to find out. I forget the vagaries of ADO, I'm in ADO.NET land nowadays.

You will love it. The Microsoft ADO.NET Core Reference book is a must have if you're going to use ADO.NET.

Not wise to quote the table pseudonym.
select count(0) as [whatever] from table (nolock)
is the best way to do it in SQL Server.
However, if you're going to select all the data anyway, you'll end up doing two queries which is not necessary. In that case, just select the data and look at Recordset.RecordCount . Only works on client based recordsets though.

Actually ADO exposes a property called RecordCount once you have returned a recordset, so you don't actually have to do a "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [YourTable] WHERE...". You will need to set the CursorType to 3 (which represnts a static cursor).

Ya, but I didn't think it was implicit in the question that he had a recordset already.

I know, I was just commenting on something that wasn't said yet in case someone wanted to use it in the future.

You're right, of course. To be honest, I was aware that there was a property, but didn't mention it because I could not recall then name, and did not look it up because it did not seem to be exactly what was needed.

why "INT" and not "int" again?
thanks

They are the same thing, but INT is a macro, presumably so one day Microsoft has the option to turn them all into longs or something. Personally I use the macros whenever I call a Microsoft API that uses them, otherwise I always use C++ standard types.
