Does anyone have any information on capturing the audio and video from running games and writing it to and avi file. I am looking for code which is not hardware specific, ie without the need for a capture card.
Any help would be appreciated. Thx

Your best bet is to either use the movie capability that might be built into the game, possibly called "recording a demo" also, or to use Windows Media Encoder 9. Those are going to be the better and more flexible options, than spending the next 6 months writing your own capture software. (I mean, why reinvent the wheel?)
But, if you use the encoder, or even come up with your own code, the overhead for capturing screen movies is MASSIVE. This will reduce the performance of your game dramatically, especailly at higher resolutions. You can reduce this effect by disabling compression as the movie is written, but this will result in a HUGE .AVI or .MPEG file that you'll have to reprocess to compress down to a more managable size.

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I build a program where the user can save his/her progress to a file. What I want is that the user can double-click the saved file and that they can continue with the file they saved.
I tried the following code:
<br />
Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)<br />
' Display arguments passed to the application<br />
Dim s, path As String<br />
<br />
For Each s In args<br />
path = path & s<br />
Next<br />
<br />
Application.Run(New CMMain(path))<br />
End Sub
but I ended up with a wrong path for example: c:\ProgramFiles\MyApplicationFolder\Project\testfile.sav
ProgramFiles has to be Program Files (The space is gone)
MyApplicationFolder also spaces gone
How can I solve this? Probably an easy solution but I haven't found it jet.
Thanx in advance

When you are concatenating all the parts of the command line together you are not inserting a space. When the Command line arguments collection is built the parser splits the command line when it finds space characters.
Also, there is a much better of joining these parts together. See String.Join()[^] in the MSDN library.
Does this help?

Any one out there who knows the source code in converting PDF to word documents??

Here[^] is the information that could convert word to PDF (it is not match your question). In my opinion, you should use any method to read the content of PDF and transfer it to hidden RichTextBox control (RichTextBox control could keep some original text formatted). After the process is finish, you can transfer the content of RichTextBox control to word application.
Hope this work

The sample you gave will only work for converting Word to PDF. It won't work the other way around.
I can't find any (free, anyway) components that will convert PDF to Word...

Hope that component will release soon. Dave, how about the method to read the content of PDF and transfer it to hidden RichTextBox control (RichTextBox control could keep some original text formatted). After the process is finish, you can transfer the content of RichTextBox control to word application. Is this way could solve this problem? Have you use this method before?

I haven't read anything from a .PDF files because I've never had the need to. You could use a RichTextBox control, but you would have to read the .PDF and supply the code to parse it and reformat it in RTF markup. The RichTextBox control knows nothing of the .PDF format, so loading it into a RichTextBox control would do much of anything to solve the problem.

HI all!
When designing a control, i embedded some pictures into the project.
But when i try to access them i get no joy!
the thing is the code i use works fine on just a standard project, but when i try it in the control, no stream is returned!
The namespace im using is correct, and ive even tried putting the resourses in both the usercontrol project and the test project!
Heres the code i use for standard projects:
Public Function GetEmbeddedImage(ByVal AppForm As Object, ByVal strImageName As String) As Bitmap<br />
Dim Exec_Assem As [Assembly] = AppForm.GetType.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly<br />
Dim myNameSpace As String = Exec_Assem.GetName.Name.ToString<br />
Dim PicStream As Stream<br />
Dim BMP As Bitmap<br />
<br />
PicStream = Exec_Assem.GetManifestResourceStream(myNameSpace + "." + strImageName)<br />
BMP = New Bitmap(PicStream)<br />
GetEmbeddedImage = BMP.Clone()<br />
<br />
BMP.Dispose()<br />
PicStream.Close()<br />
<br />
<br />
End Function<br />
<br />  
the only differnce in code i use when calling from the usercontrol is :
GetEntryAssembly
Instead of which i use
GetExecuting Assembly
as this returns the user control assembly instead of the test project assembly.
Thanks for your help!

Can someone please tell me the difference between these two statements
1 Public DataForm12 As New Form1
And
2 Dim DataForm12 As Form1
The first one is declared in a startup module, but when I try to access any of its controls from another form in the same app, I get no response. For instance: if I try to set a control on DataForm12 to enabled=false nothing happens.
The second one I just do not know about
Thanks

Public DataForm12 As New Form1
Declares the public member DataForm12 with the type Form1 and (because of New) initializes it with a reference to a newly created Form1 object.
Dim DataForm12 As Form1
This DataForm12 however is valid in the code block in which it has been declared. Because there is no New operator this variable is initialized with Nothing. If you don't need two instances of Form1 you don't need the second variable anyway. Supposed you have got this code:
Module MyModule
Public DataForm12 As New Form1
End Module
Then you can access the member DataForm12 anywhere else in your project because a modul behaves like a static class.
MyModule.DataForm12.Show()
Best regards
Dennis

Hi Dennis
Thanks to you I finally saw what my problem was: I had not only declared the form in the module(Public), but I had declared it a couple other times(Dim) in other areas of the app also.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm sending mail using System.Web.Mail namespace. My email body is come from a rich text box (rtf property of richtextbox).
I also set the email body format to MailFormat.Html
But when sending mail successfully, the email body display all the format tag, not html format, like this
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Microsoft Sans Serif;}} \viewkind4\uc1\pard\b\f0\fs17 alo\b0 \par \par \ul\i ola\ulnone\i0\par }
How could my body have html format?
Please help me.
Thanks.

You have to convert the RTF formatted text to HTML yourself, wheather by your own code, or using a 3rd party component. There is nothing in the .NET Base Class Library (BCL) that will do this for you. Most commercial 3rd party components for this conversion aren't cheap either. But, you might want to check out the OpenSource sites, like SourceForge. I found DocFrac[^] there. I haven't used it, but it might do the job for you.
After you convert the RTF to HTML, all you have to do is assign the HTML string to the Body property...

Have you found something that will convert this RTF code into HTML for you? I've been searching for free libraries or utilities for a while, but there all lacking something. What have you done about your issue?

Hello
I am OK with VB6 language, can not understand VC or much else unless is simply explained.
What i am trying to do is record the sound received from my Hauppauge WinTV USB2 device to a file. I need to start recording to the WAV file and at a set time stop recording, allowing the WAV file to be played like any other WAV or audio file.
I have tried experimenting with code like...
'MCI command to save the WAV file<br />
i = mciSendString("save capture " & CommonDialog1.FileName, 0&, 0, 0)
... but no WAV file is created
My current success is...
Private Sub Command1_Click()<br />
'Start Recording<br />
With MMControl1<br />
.DeviceType = "WaveAudio"<br />
.FileName = "F:\New.wav"<br />
.RecordMode = mciRecordOverwrite<br />
.UpdateInterval = 10<br />
.Command = "Open"<br />
.Command = "Record"<br />
End With<br />
<br />
'End Recording<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub Command2_Click()<br />
MMControl1.Command = "Save"<br />
MMControl1.Command = "Close"<br />
End Sub
... but this records any sound, where i only want the sound that the Hauppauge device receives.
Can any one help, hope theres enough information to understand what im trying to do?

Hello,
I want to know, how can i enable/disable internet access to certain systems on the network ?
Is there any class/... for this ?

No there isn't. There is nothing simple to doing this either. This is exactly what Firewall/Proxy servers are for. In order to control this, you'll need a Proxy server that will sit between the clients and the Internet. On each client, you'll configure the web browser to use the proxy server. When the browser requests a page, the request will go to the proxy and the proxy will go out and get the page and return it to the client. The nice part about this is, the proxy server can ask for a username and password to allow access to the Internet.
