Using the mciSendString command I am able to play avi, mpeg, mp3, etc. but I am unable to play mp4. Here in this web-site it says I can play any videos provided that I have the correct codecs. I am able to play mp4 using my other media players (eg. vlc player). How can I play mp4 videos or how can I make the MCI device auto detect the necessary driver type and play the videos ?
Is there no longer an easy way to play videos with VB2008?Use to be easy with VB6, but everything I can find in Help for VB2008 says Vista only.Do XP and Win2000 users have to use VB6 to build apps that incorporate video?
I'm writing a Windows Forms application in VB.Net 2010. The application's purpose is to recreate the Device Manager in VB.Net. The idea here is to capture the information provided by Device Manager and store it in a database. In turn this information could be used as a configuration management tool.
My device tree is coming along nicely, with one minor exception. There are hidden devices that Device Manager does not display by default. Show Hidden Devices causes Device Manager to display these devices. My Device Manager displays them by default. I want to duplicate the Device Manager behavior of being able to hide and display these devices in my appilcation. I have had some success with this task in that I am able to hide the Plug and Play devices that are marked as hidden by windows by use of the "Don't Display In DM" flag. There is the small issue of the Non Plug and Play Device Class. My question is this... Is there a similar flag for Non Plug and Play devices? I have found a reference to the PNP_DEVICE_STATE and IRP_MN_QUERY_PNP_DEVICE_STATE IRP. It contains a flag
PNP_DEVICE_DONT_DISPLAY_IN_UI. My problem is that I cannot find any guidance as to the structure of this API declare and the coding needed to use it. I'm not even sure if this API will be helpful in accomplishing my task. I want to hide the Non Plug and Play devices and device class in my tree. Can someone please assist me with the locating an API that will accomplish this and the proper coding of the API in VB?

I need a skeleton starter code for Database-Entityframwork-WPF app.Are the HDI videos of 2008 up to date regarding the VB code strategy? ie do I use context? should I use a view to move the records along?Do you basically write the LINQs the same as 2008, but leave off the "_" line continuation char? Is the data source the entityModel rather than the Database?(I realize the entityModel is generated from the Database.Also had errors trying to generate the Database from the Model. However, was able to generate the Model from the database. I looked at the examples supplied w VB 2010 re EF, but didn't note an example that would apply. Also, had difficulty in running examples.

I'm looking to see if anyone has a good reference for a third-party add-in that will allow me to play .mp4 video files inside my program without a need to embed a web browser in my program.
