      • Hi all! I have developed a dll for xp and it doesn't work under Vista. The dll creates some midi output and under Vista the function midiOutGetNumDevs always returns 0. And the strange thing is: If I compile the very same code as an exe file, midiOutGetNumDevs returns 4 and I have access to all Midi devices. If I make a host exe which loads the dll, then inside the host I can access the midi devic

      • It is so frustrating to work with this great thing called WF. It is WWF for the third party to work with. Wasting lot of man hours. Put your question in forum and pray somebody will answer your question. So pathetic. Your samples conveniently skip any ghory details of your modules and take on great example of hello world and wish some customers will pick it up and solve real life samples for you.

      • Seems that some serialization actions will be taken inside WF when run a WF from ASP.NET. It's known that in C# the event members in an object can not be serialized, we should use [field: NonSerializedAttribute()] to prevent the serialization of event members, so the values of the event members will be lost after deserialization. However, sometimes we should keep the event value during the s

Essentially, the filter will be combining / summing the inputs into a single output (think conferencing). Question is, do I move away from using the CPullPin and add a thread to the filter itself I am thinking the filter Process would go throug

The system wide configuration is stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software.
