Hi,

you can easily observe and control the circa 5 control lines of an RS232C port (directly attached, or USB-to-RS232C) using the SerialPort class available since .NET 2.0 (mind you, through USB the maximum speed for operating the control lines will be less).

I haven't seen anything I would trust to run on recent Windows versions for parallel ports.

I think this article may help[^]. If you need something more complex, then look into the [in|out]port[w|b] functions in inpout32.dll

I've never ever worked anywhere where there has not been someone who given the choice I would not work with again. It's a job, you do your work, put up with the people you don't like, accept there are probably people there that don't like you a lot, and look forward to the weekends.

[My articles]

They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains
the hottest blood of all, and the wildest, the most urgent.

All the whales in the wider deeps, hot are they, as they urge
on and on, and dive beneath the icebergs.
The right whales, the sperm-whales, the hammer-heads, the killers
there they blow, there they blow, hot wild white breath out of
the sea!

And they rock, and they rock, through the sensual ageless ages
on the depths of the seven seas,
and through the salt they reel with drunk delight
and in the tropics tremble they with love
and roll with massive, strong desire, like gods.
Then the great bull lies up against his bride
in the blue deep bed of the sea,
as mountain pressing on mountain, in the zest of life:
and out of the inward roaring of the inner red ocean of whale-blood
the long tip reaches strong, intense, like the maelstrom-tip, and
comes to rest
in the clasp and the soft, wild clutch of a she-whale's
fathomless body.

And over the bridge of the whale's strong phallus, linking the
wonder of whales
the burning archangels under the sea keep passing, back and
forth,
keep passing, archangels of bliss
from him to her, from her to him, great Cherubim
that wait on whales in mid-ocean, suspended in the waves of the
sea
great heaven of whales in the waters, old hierarchies.

And enormous mother whales lie dreaming suckling their whale-
tender young
and dreaming with strange whale eyes wide open in the waters of
the beginning and the end.

And bull-whales gather their women and whale-calves in a ring
when danger threatens, on the surface of the ceaseless flood
and range themselves like great fierce Seraphim facing the threat
encircling their huddled monsters of love.
And all this happens in the sea, in the salt
where God is also love, but without words:
and Aphrodite is the wife of whales
most happy, happy she!

and Venus among the fishes skips and is a she-dolphin
she is the gay, delighted porpoise sporting with love and the sea
she is the female tunny-fish, round and happy among the males
and dense with happy blood, dark rainbow bliss in the sea.

I know how to add the wmp component, but I want to add the following to the wmp (Two buttons):

* Slow motion function
* Zoom function

I looked this entire website and google, but I didn't found any answers. Who can help me out?

You'd have to write plugins to Meida Player yo pull something like this off. You'll find very few, if any, C# or VB.NET examples of doing anything like this though. The Media Player SDK is written for use with C++.

Hmm... That's too bad. Aren't there any other componments to download or media players with these two functions (Zoom and speed)?

You're going to have to research that yourself. I don't know of any myself.

Hello Everyone ...

I am a new member here in your website

and i hope you help me D'Oh! | :doh:

in fact i'm almost done from programming [ RMS ] Restaurant E.Management System Project

but now i think about make my own theme By " XAML " and attach it to the project ...!?

i know how to make this XAML file, but i don't know how to use it in the project

Is your project a WPF or Silverlight project? If so, you can just add a ResourceDictionary file to your project and use it. If it's not, then good luck - you've got a lot of plumbing and resource management code to write on your own.

i'm afraid that it's not ,

but do you mean i need to build my own components from A to Z

Or there is some easy ways to make it done Sniff | :^)

Oh , really can you give me a little tips about [ WPF ] ...!?

Thank you

Hi,

I try to use Late Bound COM Objects to get pointer on Microsoft outlook.
When i use Type.GetTypeFromProgID i get ComType and its work find.
But after CreateInstance i get an exception with error code 80040111.
I google the error code and i did not find anything logically explanation.

this is the code ... only two lines ...

<br />
Type Comtype = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Outlook.Application.11");<br />
             <br />
object obj = Activator.CreateInstance(Comtype);  //The exception is here<br />

I don't consider myself an expert, but I use COM for different purposes. In my view the great advantage of late binding is version independency.

Therefore I make the reference to outlook without the version number, and that works fine by me and my clients who run different versions of Outlook.

Your code would be:

Type Comtype = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Outlook.Application");

object obj = Activator.CreateInstance(Comtype); //The exception is here

I hope this helps.

Regards

I have been having this problem for some time and I believe it must steam from my misunderstanding of some basic concept. That said can someone please set me straight on the matter of usable form size.

In the below instance I am looking to create a line with a ten pixel boarder at the top and bottom. When the code is run as expected there is a 10 pixel gap at the top however the bottom of the line goes off the screen and needs an additional 35 pixels added for the desired effect. Can some kind person please tell me why and how I should measure the form height if not like this.

Jason

System.Drawing.Graphics graphicsObj = this.CreateGraphics();
graphicsObj.DrawLine(new Pen(Color.Blue, 4), new Point(110, 10), new Point(110, this.Height - 10));

~~Try this.Bottom, instead of this.Height, perhaps?~~

Forget it, i was wrong...
Sorry.

var question = (_2b || !(_2b));

Ok. This should work, I hope.
Instead of this.Height try this.ClientRectangle.Height
Seems to have worked for me Wink | ;)

I guess when you do this.Height it takes into account the titlebar and all that.

And sorry for the "this.Bottom" post just above, but for some reason it was the first thing to have popped into my mind.

var question = (_2b || !(_2b));

Fantastic that’s exactly what I needed but didn’t have a handle on where to start looking.
Thank you very much.
