testing report :
IT DIDN'T WORK
tested on : vb.net express 2010, win xp with media player 11
when run (f5) after a folder was selected the program jammed up and the button became light pale white.
will target what cpu ? and directx sdk doesn't support what ?
ok let me go in length here.
1. There are two versions of windows: x86 and x64, which are 32 and 64 bits respectively.
2. While directx works on both x86 and x64, the sdk does not, so any programming you test, you must compile with your cpu target as x86. The problem here is that some versions of visual studio (the free ones) don't have an option to change it in their menu. You need to google how to edit the program solution's configuration file and manually change it.
3. As far as i am aware, loaderlock only applies if you are developing in c#.
my example from post #1 throws an error with Loaderlock exceptions handled.
with it disabled it runs without an error
ok well i learned something then. I've only encountered an issue with it using c# and never had the pleasure of seeing the setting in vb.net 2010 or earlier. Well if i get an error i'll know why now.
