Yes! SpeechStudio provides tutorials for C++, VB, VB.NET and C#. You can use any language that supports automation.

Yes. SpeechStudio Suite offers slightly easier initial integration with MFC since it can utilize the MFC framework. Once the initial integration is completed, SpeechStudio Suite is easy to use with any C++ program.

No. SpeechStudio Suite is integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio, and that integration is expected to grow. You must be using Visual Studio.

J. Henshaw asks "Is it possible to run both VB6 and VB.Net on the same machine,or do I have to remove VB6 to be able to use VB.NET", and the answer is a definite yes. You can run them both on the same machine. Many people, including myself, run VB6 on the same machine as their installation of Visual Basic .NET. If you look at this KB article from Microsoft Support, you will even see that it recommended to run VB6 and VB.NET on the same machine when upgrading projects from one to another.

The percentage of the project that will be converted is typically more than 99%. However, the percentage can vary greatly depending on the structure of your code. For instance, if Option Strict is On then it is significantly easier to convert your code because C# is more type strict. Please see Limitations and Workarounds (PDF file) for more details. You may also want to look at some sample converted projects.

browse the list, and near the end check the "VideoGrabberNET control" component, click "OK" now the TVideoGrabber component appears in the ToolBox, select it and place it on the form (wait a few seconds before the control appears) double click on the button, and put this code in the button1_click event: "axVideoGrabberX1.StartPreview();"

The answer for all of these examples is the same, you can use the classes and methods in System.Diagnostics.Process to accomplish these tasks and more. Example 1. Running a command line application, without concern for the results: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ Example 2. Retrieving the results and waiting until the process stops (running the process synchronously): Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _ Example 3.

Paul Vick, Technical Lead on VB.NET, and the author of the Visual Basic .NET Language Specification, discusses the new short-circuiting boolean operators added in Visual Basic .NET 2002.

Assuming that you have successfully installed C-Sharpener For VB, the menu option should automatically appear. If it doesn't appear, then try the following: Turn on the checkbox to the left of C-Sharpener For VB and click the OK button. The menu option should now appear.

Yes. SpeechStudio Suite can be used to speech-enable any C++ program. The event interface of GUI- enabled programs is a great starting point for speech integration but eventually many key speech actions will evolve independently of the GUI in any case. The current release of SpeechStudio Suite requires the creation of one dialog even if that dialog is never used. Yes.

Here's a funny analogy I saw posted->) Well, the principle is the same (create interface, add code to respond to events, add code to do something useful). But programming in VB is like riding a kiddy bike, while programming in C++ is like driving a Formula 1 racing car - be prepared for accidents. But seriously, VB is interpreted, MSVC is compiled, therefore MSVC programs should be much faster (if written well).

This project is my hobby and the last thing I want to do in my spare time was use a language or environment I don't enjoy (I code on Macs during the day, and that's enough pain ^_^). I like C#, and I love Visual Studio. Just about any argument you can create against it can be countered, so don't even try. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it; I know that this is certainly my philosophy with other languages/environments!

Microsoft Speech Server is Microsoft's speech interface tool set. It is built atop the Microsoft SAPI 5 speech engines. Here are some reasons to use SpeechStudio Suite instead: SpeechStudio grammars tie voice commands directly to their actions. Even dynamic grammars are easy to create with SpeechStudio's library of pre-defined actions and speech-smart XML editor.

SAPI 5 is a lot easier to use than SAPI 4.0, its predecessors and similar products, but it is still quite difficult. Here are some reasons to use SpeechStudio Suite: SpeechStudio Suite handles a lot of problems for you, including automatic grammar construction and engine repair, context switching, and coordination among multiple speech-enable applications. SpeechStudio grammars tie voice commands directly to their actions.

Yes. SpeechStudio Suite supports telephony via the standard TAPI interface. It will work with any TAPI version 3 device.

SpeechStudio Suite includes extensive documentation and in-depth tutorials designed to provide self-paced training. You might be comfortable with SpeechStudio Suite without formal training; however, if you desire, training is available.

Technical support is included for one year after purchasing a license. Thereafter, newsgroup and web support is free, and email support is available on a first-come first-served basis. Technical support subscriptions, including product upgrades, telephone support, and priority email handling, are available.

Look I simply do not have the time to offer complete courses in electronics or programming. This is very technically complex if you don't already have at least some digital electronics AND programming skills. Of course if you've got specific questions, then sure I don't mind answering them when I have a chance. :-)

When using Visual C++ I get "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory" When using Visual C++ 5, I get the following error message: SDL.lib : fatal error LNK1106: invalid file or disk full

Microsoft didn't get its Standard C++ act together until Visual C++ 2003. (a.k.a. version 7.1) If you must use older versions of VC++, you're stuck with either the C API, or the ancient 1.7.1 release of MySQL++. This version is an unofficial third-party contribution which is known to have bugs. If it works, I'm happy for you. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. Microsoft is giving away a limited but functional version of Visual C++ 2005 which works just fine with MySQL++.

Borrow the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional CD's from our SCC Computer Lab. If you don't bring them back you can't enroll again. Comment: If you are only going to take ITSE 1431 then the Standard Edition is OK. If you will continue studying VB .NET you need the Professional edition or better.

The compiler only works for a small subset of Basic and produces quite inefficient code. I do not recommend it.

Some of the complaints about C++ — especially about the programming environments — also apply to Visual Basic. The real problems are, however, with the curricula. Most VB textbooks are so taken up by the GUI-related opportunities in the language that they fail to provide any sort of coherent basis for programming. Teachers try to compensate for this with concepts such as flowcharts, which are effectively outmoded (as described above).

I am using referral (referer) protection however, with MPEGS, WMV's and pdf's it does not work - users are denied access, and with printing CSS I have the same problem.

There are several Microsoft Knowledge Base articles about using Visual Basic with HTML Help. The following is a partial list of available topics with article ID numbers: To locate one of the above topics, on the Microsoft Knowledge Base search page , select the Specific article ID number option, and then type the ID number in the box. To see all of the articles related to HTML Help, search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for the phrase "html AND help."

According to the Microsoft VB.Net FAQ page, you can (although you couldn't do this with the Beta). Check this link for more information.

The Visual Basic DLL tutorial will teach you how to create a DLL with MinGW and a use it with Visual Basic.

I recommend a fast computer with lots of hard disk space and lots of memory. Note that if you want to run all the features of VB .NET you need to have Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional.
