View 3 RepliesI have a VB.NET application that crashes on a client's computer with a BSOD error... KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR.This error occurs at a point where my program does two things:
Locks the computer
Plays a sound in BackgroundLoop mode
For locking the work station, I am just using this:
<DllImport("user32")> _
Public Shared Sub LockWorkStation()
End Sub
For playing the sound, I am doing this:
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream("somesound"), AudioPlayMode.BackgroundLoop)
Now, this sound loops until the user logs back in. My software detects the session state switch and stops playing the sound. Sometimes when I log back in, the sound card plays garbage data for a split second, instead of the rest of the audio buffer. I get the impression that this has something to do with session switching.Could my client be having an issue where there is memory corruption occurring at the point of locking the computer?I apologize for the vagueness of this post... I am not sure where to begin as I cannot reproduce the problem myself.
Edit: If the sound is left to play on its own, even without locking the computer, eventually the computer will lock up and then bluescreen. Playing the sound while locking at the same causes it to happen sooner.
Edit #2: So I've seen it fail now. The sound loop starts playing correctly but quickly switches to looping of garbage data. It's as if it is just reading a random location in memory and looping that. Very strange behavior!
I have used DirectSound to play a wave file in my application using the function CreateSoundBufferFromFile. It works perfectly.Now I want to play files from a resource dll file. I have created 1n2v32.dll file having nearly 100 small wave files named 1,2,3... I can play them using LoadLibraryEx, PlaySound & FreeLibrary.Now, I am trying to use CreateSoundBufferFromResource function from DirectSound api to play these files. I get Run-time error '432': File name or class name not found during Automation operation I used the following code to create the buffer.
Set LDSB = LDS.CreateSoundBufferFromResource(App.Path & "1n2v32.dll", "14", BufferDesc, gw)
I embeded many audio file (.wav) in resources. I can inluded the following code to play a audio file My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.testWav, AudioPlayMode.Background)
But this command play only one audio file(testWav) I have two questions
1) Is there any way to play all audio files no matter how many files in Resources included in VB 2005 without typing all embeded audio file name? (using something like For Next statement)
2) Can I pass parameter to My.Computer.Audio.Play( , ), which means that when I choose one of files embeded in Resource, I just pass the chosen audio file to this command not specific file name(like testWav.wav)
I am using VS 2005 Professional and writing a guitar tuner app with visual basic. I have a 6 wav files that play in button click events using the My.Computer.Audio.Play() method. I need to animate a picture box meter while a wav file is playing. I have searched in the library, but I can't find any relevant info for checking if a sound is playing for vb. Is there a way I can check to see if the wav file is playing?

View 8 Replieshow to load a XML file Embedded in the resource project?
I've do some google, but did not found anything useful
I've place my XML document in the project resource, and I wish to load it in a DataSet/Datatable.
I need to refer to some strings using an "indirect string" in the registry. It should be in this form:
@filename,resource
MSDN: "If the resource value is zero or greater, the number becomes the index of the string in the binary file. If the number is negative, it becomes a resource ID."How can I find out either of these numbers for my resources that only have names in VB? I also need the ID/index for the exe's icon.
this is really confusing.
I have resources named:
C1
C2
C3
C4

I have a resource file that I include in my shared code library that has all of my re-usable classes in it (all the resources go into their own namespace).

View 6 RepliesI have been trying now for about 4 hours to get my vb.NET MD5 function to generate the same hash as PHP's This is my vb.net function:

Dim bs As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(input)

However, the hashing of some wtrings ("paSsword1" for example) work perfectly fine.Any ideas why? I have tried multiple methods of MD5 in vb.net. I can;t change the way it works in PHP because I'm writing a library to interface with a commercial application - I just need the hashes to be generated the same!

View 6 RepliesI have decided that I want to learn a bit about sound and how it works so I thought that I would make an application that reads and plays MP3 files. I know that this will be very difficult and that I will be re-inventing the wheel, but it's all for the educational purpose. So my questions are; How does it work, how does Windows Media Player plays the data from the MP3 file? How can I, with the data provided in the MP3 file, know what to play, how it should sound? Which method would I have to approach to play the sound provided in the file? If you think that I have too little knowledge on the subject
