    - Sending Images from Webcam to WinForm? I am wor king on a custom dashboard style app for a simulated en vironment. I've got a webcam in the environment, and I'd like to display the image from the camera in the dashboard form. I know that copying bitmaps is an expensive operation, and I'm not all that familiar with C# libraries. I'm wondering what the ideal way to do this would be. This is what I'm doing right now: Code Snippet private void NotifyCameraNewFrame(webcam.QueryFrameResponse response) { Bitmap frame = null; using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(response.Frame, false)) { Bitmap tempframe = new Bitmap(stream); frame = new Bitmap(tempframe); tempframe.Dispose(); } Invoke(delegate() { _form.updateWebCam(frame); }); } Code Snippet public void updateWebCam(Image image) { webcam.Image = image; } Tag: Microsoft Robotics - Decentralized Software Services (DSS) DSS design considerations for a Winform orchestrator application Architecture

    - Commerce Server Login Isse Hi I have configured the web site (ASP.NET 2.0) to use the MS Commerce Server 2007 and have all my users details on userobject table. I am using all the functionalities provided by MS Commerce Server 2007 to access/create/modify the userobject table. I am able to successfully login and able to persist the user details across web pages when I am running it through my IDE ie. on localhost. But when I port the same appilcation on global IP I could not able persist the user details across web pages. The weird part is this happens only IE 6 and 7 and not on firefox browser. I am really puzzled on this error. If anyone experienced the same issue please let me know solution.

    - What's the best way to capture images from Simulated Cameras at runtime Hi, I have tried 2 ways, 1. using the Test() method to pop the Image out of a Bitmap Port (created earlier) every time I do a "CaptureScene". Code Snippet robot.RobotsLeftCamera.CaptureScene(ImageFormat.Bmp, _leftCameraPort); newLeftImage = _leftCameraPort.Test<Bitmap>(); if (newLeftImage != null) { _state.CameraLeft = newLeftImage; } 2. using the Choice Arbiter to listen to _leftCameraPort right in the Start() method Code Snippet Activate(Arbiter.Choice<Bitmap, Exception>( _rightCameraPort, delegate(Bitmap latestRightImage) { _state.CameraRight = latestRightImage; }, delegate(Exception e) { } ) ); and still do CaptureScene as above. For some reasons, the Test() method works so much better than the Arbiter.Choice way (well maybe I didnt do something right). When I observe the Page File Usage History in the Task Manager, the graph goes up really fast in the second way (using Arbiter Choice). I dont really know what's going on here. I would like to take pictures from these cameras mounted on my robot every 50 milisec and store it in my _state. I'm gonna be so screwed if the memory keeps going up. Is there a better way to capture photos from the simulated cameras Please help, very urgent.

    - JavaScript on protected and non-protected disk Hello, I visited this forum already some time ago and I did read a thread that said that not all JavaScript commands do work on a non-protected disk (so a disk without AACS). I searched the forum, but was not able to find it back. Can anybody shed some light on this Is it true and if so, which commands are affected Thanks in advance for any info !

    - Agent Desktop launched ... But issues ... Ok...I have been on this for a while and at last Agent Desktop launched.... But it has issues....Before going to the problem our background info Initially our setup was We built a windows 2003 server called CCFDC . CCFDC - is the Primary Domian controller (PDC) for Domain CCF We installed all the server components on this system(CCFDC) and created the DNS entries 1. CCFSQL 2. CCFIIS 3. CCFRS as mentioned in the document to point to the CCFDc To our dismay, the web services didn't work. Upon consulting KB site , I found out , IIS will not work on PDC computer properly. (We tried the workaround as specified.but still didn't work)So we are forced to find another system for CCFIIS. Unfortunately there are no other systems. All our development m/c belonged to our corporate domain and not allowed to change the domain. Hence We installed Virtual PC on one of our development systems and made that instance as a member of CCFdomain and named the system as CCFIIs.(There is something really strange here. CCFIIS can access CCFDC{CCFSQL/CCFRS} ; but CCFDC cannot access CCFIIS. I don't why I would appreciate if you can help me out ) We installed admin console on CCFIIS. That also worked . We installed AgentDesktop on CCFIIS server. At first it never launched. We ran the profiler and in the trace we figured that @Agent is sent as blank. Not sure why,I hardcoded to 'CCF\DemoAgent1' in the SP and tried again. Now the Agent Desktop is launched. I did a look up and searched with customer id 1. A record with 'Maeve Elizabeth' showed up and I double clicked But nothing happened. I don't have any documents on how to proceed further.

    - WPF everywhere? Hi, I'm looking for a technology to help me create our standalone rich client and am considering WPF. But I have some doubts, and I wondered if you could help me resolve them. first, I noticed that WPF didnt work on XPs which does not have SP2. I am curious - does WPF suppose to work on Mac but not on XP second, the download size. I downloaded iBloks and it made me download an extra 22MB or so for Net 3.0. any chance for something smaller how is the WPF/E plug in for browsers so thin and this one so big third, performance. I ran iBloks o my 1200 MHz laptop and boy, it was slow! any ideas why thanks very much, Lior Tag: Microsoft Robotics - Decentralized Software Services (DSS) DSS design considerations for a Winform orchestrator application Architecture

    - WPF/E Namespace Confusion 2006? 2007? While dissecting the WPFEPad application I found on Mike Harsh's blog, I noticed that all the XAML files used in that example use the namespace declarations: <Canvas xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'> etc Up to now I had always thought that the agControl would only accept XAML files with the following namespace declarations: < Canvas xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007' xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml' > But alas, the former works as does the latter. Now, using the former is fantastic, since I can now author the xaml in Blend, and, as long as I'm careful not to add schematic constructs that aren't supported in WPF/E, I am in good situation. But really, what gives here Does it matter Or have I just stumbled onto a little quirk and should be thankful for it.

    - "No search node for 'select'" warning in Sonic Emulator Hi - I've been noticing a lot of warnings about nodes/nodesets being empty when markup containing <seq>'s is played in the Sonic Emulator. A search here yielded one similar thread that didn't seem to have a resolution. When our menu pages are loaded, the following warnings show up in the Sonic Debugger: : CueNode : No search node for 'select' : CueNode : No search node for 'select' : CueNode : No search node for 'select' : CueNode : No search node for 'select' : CueNode : No search node for 'select' : CueNode : No search node for 'select' : CueNode : No search node for 'select' : CueNode : No search node for 'select' : EventNode : Empty default node set, <event> ignored. There's one of those CueNode statements for each button on the page. (All of which use similar cues. Here's an example of the actioned timing code for a menu button. All the various button code is wrapped within a <par> not shown here: Code Snippet <seq begin="id('btn5')[state:actioned()=true()]" dur="2s"> <cue select="id('btn5')" dur="500ms" use="activated"> <event name="fadeOut"/> </cue> <cue select="id('btn5')" dur="200ms"> <event name="gotoTitle"> <param name="myTitle" value="HDLoop"/> </event> </cue> </seq> That < seq> block seems to cause the problems. If I change it to a <par> block, the warnings go away, but then the events don't fire in order. Is there something inherently wrong with the way that's done As an aside, I'd originally done the fade out in markup, with a definition to animate opacity from 1 to 0, using that definition in one of the cues within the seq block. When that was there, the emulator threw a warning several times per second about trying to animate an empty default node set, so that fade was moved to script. Thanks in advance.

    - Interest in HDi authoring workshop? Hey Everyone, I am looking to gauge input on the level of interest people might have in attending a multi-day intensive HD-DVD authoring workshop. We are starting to plan the next big META (http://www.mediaexperience.org) event that will take place in February and in conjunction with that I was considering teaching likely a 3 day class on HD-DVD authoring. It would be a hands on (meaning attendees in front of a computer, writing code) comprehensive workshop covering all aspects of making a real fully functioning disc, including the regular menu and video/audio/subs stuff as well as network connections, persistent storage, and gaming. Before I take on the business aspects of booking a venue for such an event, I was trying to gauge how much interest there is for it. There would have to be a fee involved, likely high 3 figures, as renting a venue with suitable computers for everyone unfortunately costs money. Does anybody have any comments or interest regards, _scott Tag: Microsoft Robotics - Decentralized Software Services (DSS) DSS design considerations for a Winform orchestrator application Architecture

    - OOB stream inspection for non-TCP data Hi, I am implementing an OOB terminating callout which registers at FWPM_LAYER_DATAGRAM_DATA_V4/V6 (among other layers). As far as my understanding goes at this layer the callout's classifyFn gets the transport payload thru pLayerData parameter and it does not contain the transport header, which makes sense because for the outbound case the transposrt still has not gotten the data. Now I would like to hold on to the data (NET_BUFFER_LIST), perform inspection and at a later point inject the data back to the stream. In order to simplify the discussion lets assume only outbound UDP data. Questions: 1. Is it enough to just reference the buffer list and then dereference it when I am done with the injection - FwpsReferenceNetBufferList0/FwpsDereeferenceNetBufferList0 or should I make my own clone via FwpsAllocateCloneNetBufferList0 The reference seems like a faster operation with the downside that it may possibly starve the tcp/ip engine. 2. Is classifyOut->actionType = FWP_ACTION_BLOCK; enough for setting the status Isnt this going to result in an error returned to the app that is trying to send the data 3. In order to inject back the data it seems that the only option for outbound UDP is FwpsInjectTransportSendAsync0. Unfortunately to me this sounds like I'll have to create the UDP header myself - compute the checksum, etc. Is this the case Isn't there an API for non-TCP stream data that is similar to FwpsStreamInjectAsync0 Thanks!

What is the better approach :

1. Creating and calling a Winform from within an orchestrator service (Robotics Tutorial 4 C#)

2. Creating a winform application from scratch, hosting DSS, and orchestrating the services directly within the Winform application (similar to Hosting tutorial #4).

I'll be coordinating about a dozen or so different services. Choice 2 seems like the simpler choice. Are there any considerations

Thanks!

Re: Microsoft Robotics - Decentralized Software Services (DSS) DSS design considerations for a Winform orchestrator application

Omid K. Rad

Also there is a third choice. If you have explored VPL version of Robotics Tutorial 4 you should have noticed that it uses the Dialog service (located at samples\Misc\Utility\Dialog) that simply is a WinForms service exposing operations and notifications for the actions and events on the form (here, ButtonPress and ButtonRelease). Another service (such as a VPL diagram) can then subscribe and interact with it.
