Hello, I have a collection called "SupplierCollection" this is a generic binding*list of T. Where T is any class that derrives from SupplierBase. So I have 4 classes that derrive from SupplierBase and i've created 4 instances of SupplierCollection each with 10 items in. So: Dim oTransferSupplierCollection as new SupplierCollection(TransferSupplier) Dim oAccommodationSupplierCollection as new SupplierCollection(AccommodationSupplier) Dim oFlightSupplierCollection as new SupplierCollection(FlightSupplier) Dim oCarSupplierCollection as new SupplierCollection(CarSupplier) I change the binding source (bsSuppliers)*to any of these data sources,*My SupplierCollection has a method SaveCollection(). I want to call the SaveCollection method from the binding source. I'm trying to use this code to do it: Dim oObj AsObject = bsSuppliers.List Dim oType As Type = oObj.GetTypeDim oMethodInfo As System.Reflection.MethodInfo = oType.GetMethod("SaveCollection") oMethodInfo.Invoke(oMethodInfo, Nothing) Everytime*I run it I get the error: "Object does not match target type.". This error occurs when I call "oMethodInfo.Invoke(oMethodInfo, Nothing)". I'm sure there is a more pleasant way to this but i've been at this for an hour now and not getting anywhere. Any ideas?

As I wrote*a while ago, I updated my computer and had nothing but trouble. But by the end of it I had my computer running apparently stable, although I couldn't explain why. But I was wrong. It may not have crashed every three minutes like before, but it would still freeze solid once every two days or so. There was no pattern. It would happen under any level of load, whether I was just using IE or playing FSX, and it would regularly give me hours of heavy load usage without problems. Today (after another freeze) I remembered the memory diagnostic tool and decided to try it. It found problems. Could the memory, which was not actually a new component (it was in the old machine) be the culprit? I try it with just 2 DIMMs. Still a problem. Just 1 DIMM. Still a problem, so that one is faulty. Another one. Also faulty. A third one, also faulty! This is straining credulity, so I try them in different slots, all register as faulty, eliminating the possibility of a faulty slot or channel. On a complete whim, I decide to manually set the DRAM voltage to 2.1V, which is the voltage specified on the stickers on the RAM chips, and now it tests without issues! I try it with four again, and the problems return. So I try two again, still problems. I try one again (same one that tested without faults before) and no problems. I try the other one of the previous pair, and it tests faulty. A third one, no faults. And the fourth one has faults again! I retested one of the good ones, just to make sure, and it tests fine again. The two good ones in dual channel mode also have no problems in the test. So here's the story so far: with automatic voltage management, all chips test faulty. With voltage manually set to 2.1V, two test faulty, two test good. Does that even make sense? It seems to me terribly unlikely that two chips out of a set of four fail simultaneously, at the exact moment I do a hardware upgrade (since all four worked fine in the previous system). I also lucked out with the first one after the voltage change; it that one had been faulty I would've concluded they were all faulty or something else was the cause. I'm letting it run one more test on the good chips, then I'll reboot Windows. If it manages to not freeze for a few days I can conclude it runs stable. If so, I'll have to see about replacing those other RAM chips. They're not that old, likely they're still in warranty. It all just sounds like the universe is playing a cruel trick on me, especially since this sort of thing seems to happen every time I upgrade my hardware. :( More...

Oh my, I can feel my sanity slipping! TFS 2005 -> TFS 2008 is a simple upgrade. WSS upgrade on the other hand is an utter disaster!* Has anyone got this to work? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

It's been a while since I've done video conversion. I want to convert WMV to MPEG and AVI - other conversion options would be nice. My requirements: Works reliably on Vista under a normal user account. Has few, or simple to install dependencies on 3rd party codecs. Has a reasonable interface (What's with the crappy user interfaces on most of the conversion tools?). Open Source. Although I'll pay if it's worthwhile.-Brian More...

I just got a new 46" Sony kdl46v3000 LCD I have my Xbox 360 hooked up to it via HDMI. I have a Digital Optical connection from the TV back to the receiver's input so I can push the digital sound from the HDMI through my TV and into my receiver for digital surround (My receiver doesn't have any HDMI inputs) The problem is that, nothing from my xbox is being played in 5.1 Surround. All I get is Dolby Stero... Is there some trick I need to do? To clarify... I have one of the newer xboxes with an HDMI port, and the HDMI cable is plugged directly from xbox into back of TV, and then digital optical out from TV to receiver. Any one have any insight into this? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

I've had my Treo 750 a while now. I was excited about having WM6. Unfortunately, it's driving me MAD. There are no categories for anything - notes, etc. It doesn't scroll properly using the 5-way navigator. It scrolls down a page + a line, making me miss a line. Popups steal focus like a child wanting attention. For example, every time I send a text, my current credit balance pops up. Okay, fine, my old Treo did this and I didn't mind it. But my old Treo could make it vanish using a hard-key. I have to actually touch the screen - and not just that, I have to get the stylus out because the buttons so tiny. Another thing that annoys me is when the phone is locked, or has the password screen up, I can't see the Today screen. So I rely on the icons on top to tell me whether I have new email/messages etc. However, if I've read a message earlier by manually entering the Text Messaging interface, the icon remains. I have to click the icon to make it vanish. I have my phone locked (since members of my family are adamant that they must go through my phone when I'm sleeping, for some crazy reason) and sometimes, when the phone feels like it, the hardkeys will enter the numbers, others, I've got to use the touchscreen. Its slow to respond. I find myself hammering the red phone to clear everything from the screen and exit to the today screen, and I end up turning the phone function off. It's really annoying. Whoever said Apple have everything nailed on the UI front was EXACTLY right. It's so fustrating. For example, this morning I was trying to add a number to my phone in an area with no reception. It took me 3 attempts since the phone kept exiting to another screen asking me whether I wanted to connect to T Mobile or Orange, neither of which I can connect to since I'm with O2 - and the best bit, I had to restart every time because it didn't even have the courtesy to store the values I'd entered. :@:@:@:@:@:@ WM7 better be good - or I'm back to Palm OS. edit: added more More...

Hi All, I have had a google for info on this*but can’t seem to find much, certainly not very formal documentation or examples anyway. I therefore hope someone (developer / T.A or such) can point me in the right direction! I have the following (Windows Mobile) PDA development requirement. In a nutshell, I want to create a browser-based application [not custom-UI] which writes to a local (SQL Server Mobile edition) database and then sends the information as and when a GPRS connection is available. Could some kind soul tell me if this is possible? I know on a standard PC this would be tricky for security reasons (i.e. browser being sand-boxed) but hopefully there is an approach to allow a browser to run off local cached web pages and save to its local file-system (db) Looking forward to any info!* Thanks, Dan More...

I am running Windows NT 5.1 Media Center 2005 Edition with all of the latest patches as of last weekend. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo dual core processor and Intel's ICH9R set to ACHI, enabling NCQ on my hard drive. I also have PerfectDisk 7.0 set to defragment the hard drive nightly, so I do not worry about disk fragmentation. I recently replaced my boot drive with a 750GB Western Digital hard drive and I have not had much of a chance to recover data from my old boot drive until yesterday. Yesterday, I attached my old boot drive to my computer using an SATA to USB cable that I had ordered from Newegg. I was copying video files to my new boot drive while installing my All-in-one HP Photosmart printer. A dialog appeared from the setup script saying to attach and turn on my printer. I stupidly clicked yes before actually turning it on. When I went to turn it on, it would not turn on. After a bit of troubleshooting, I found out that the cable attached to its power brick had come off and reattached it. I proceeded to turn it on, Windows detected it and then promptly froze (although, I could still move the cursor and Alt-Tab through windows, most of which were not responding, including Firefox after fifteen minutes or so). I was tempted to do a hard reset, but since I was installing HP's drivers, which HP included the kitchen sink as far as software extras go, I did not want to go through the trouble of fixing the messed up installation, so hoping that windows would resolve whatever problem it had by itself, I waited for more than an hour. I received a delayed write failure message and figured that it was because Windows had frozen. Eventually, I decided that a hard reset was necessary and proceeded to disconnect the hard drive I had attached with the SATA to USB adapter. Windows suddenly came to life, my installation proceeded as planned and the recording of the 2004 presidential debate I was copying failed to copy. Today, I was playing with the DivX converter, converting an old recording of Dr. Dolittle 2 to DivX while installing Age of Empires III. When the Age of Empires III setup asked me for Disk 2, I inserted it and clicked "Ok" on the prompt. Windows promptly froze (and by froze, I mean that I could not even move the cursor) for a few seconds while the disk spun-up. When things like this happen, many people, myself in the past included, would reboot the computer doing far more harm than good, but I would expect things like this to not paralyze the system. Has Microsoft made any progress towards ensuring that these things do not happen with NT 5.1 SP3 and/or NT 6.0? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

I have a lot of ROMs, and they aren't all from the same platform. Also, there are just so many that it's a pain to get to the few that I play regularly. My solution to this was to write a program to index all of my ROMs and allow me to search my ROM library, rate my ROMs, and double-click to play. I call it the Fantastic Rom Indexer, or FRI for short.I'm interested to get feedback. Here's a really quick demo of the basic functionality of FRI: http://mypieceoftheinter.net/archives/272 Here's a tutorial on how to set up and use FRI, aided by pictures: http://mypieceoftheinter.net/archives/310 A link to the latest version of FRI is available here: http://mypieceoftheinter.net/archives/category/projects/fri-projects Here's some screenshots of FRI version 1.0.0.0. http://mypieceoftheinter.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/14-roms-added-thumb.png http://mypieceoftheinter.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/16-play-rom-thumb.png http://mypieceoftheinter.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/19-advanced-serach-thumb.png http://mypieceoftheinter.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/20-bulk-rate-thumb.png http://channel9.msdn.com/Photos/383635.jpg Download the project More...
