Greater Interoperability for Windows Customers With HTML5 Video

Google recently announced that its Chrome web browser will stop supporting the H.264 video format. At Microsoft we respect that Windows customers want the best experience of the web including the ability to enjoy the widest range of content available on the Internet in H.264 format.
Today, as part of the interoperability bridges work we do on this team, we are making available the Windows Media Player HTML5 Extension for Chrome, which is an extension for Google Chrome to enable Windows 7 customers who use Chrome to continue to play H.264 video.
We believe that Windows customers should be able to play mainstream HTML5 video and, as we’ve described in previous posts, Internet Explorer 9 will support playback of H.264 video as well as VP8 video when the user has installed a VP8 codec.
We are committed to ensuring that Windows customers have the best Web experience, and we have been offering for several years now the extremely popular Windows Media Player plug-in for Firefox, which is downloaded by millions of people a month who want to watch Windows Media content.
We also recently provided an add-on for Windows 7 customers who choose Firefox to play H.264 video so as to enable interoperability across IE, Firefox and Chrome using HTML5 video on Windows.
For many reasons - which you can read about on other blog posts here and here - H.264 is an excellent and widely-used video format that serves the web very well today. As such, we will continue to ensure that developers and customers continue to have an optimal Web experience.

Oracle and VB 6.0 Connectivity (Part 1)

Here is a basic VB application called voter information system demonstrated which explains the concepts quite clearly. The first step required to establish connectivity is preparing the back end and the front end of the project. These steps are divided into two parts first the back end that is the oracle and front end that is the Visual Basic 6.0. Oracle Firstly we need to set up the database. Create the tables, triggers and procedures and database in the oracle. Create tables: Example: create table voter(id number(5) primary key, name varchar2(25),address varchar2(50),age number(3),gender varchar2(6),dob varchar2(30)); create table votertemp(id number(5) primary key, name varchar2(25),address varchar2(50),age number(3),gender varchar2(6),dob varchar2(30)); (we will be using the next table in the triggers that we will be implementing) Visual Basic 6.0 Develop the VB application as in this example given below. Design the necessary forms for the application. The next part is

Validations in Visual Basic 6.0

This topic will demonstrate how to perform client side validations in Visual Basic 6.0. It will guide you with a step by step procedure. 1) Firstly in the below image suppose you want to accept only integer numbers as id in the textbox next to ID label in the form from the user you can perform client side validations in the following way: These are the ascii codes that i am using for acepting only integer values from user. Back space - 8 0 to 9 Integers - 48 to 57 Delete - 127 This is how the function will look. Private Sub Text2_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer) If Not ((KeyAscii >= 48 And KeyAscii <= 57) Or KeyAscii = 127 Or KeyAscii = 8) Then MsgBox "enter proper value" KeyAscii = 0 End If End Sub Double click on the text box which you want to validate. Next select the event as keypress from top right list box. In this case the name of text box is text1. This is the function for accepting input as integer value only from the user.

Oracle and VB 6.0 Connectivity (Part 3)

Now we will see how to insert values into table a table and to view them. Oracle Initially we had created table in part1. Visual Basic 6.0 Now we wil insert data into the table through visual basic. The code for inserting will be as follows When you double click on add button it will open your code window it will have this code! Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim gen As String If (Option1.Value = True) Then gen = "male" ElseIf (Option2.Value = True) Then gen = "female" End If rsv.Open "insert into voter values(" & Text5.Text & ",'" & Text2.Text & "','" & Text3.Text & "','" & Combo1.Text & "','" & gen & "','" & DTPicker1.Value & "')", conv, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic If (rsv.State = 1) Then rsv.Close End If MsgBox ("Data Entered") End Sub This will add the data entered into
