I have a desktop client that sends data to a web server and I can't seem to get through the proxy server. Update : I am getting a 407 HTTP error when trying to communicate through the proxy. When downloading information from my web server, everything is fine. Once the user configures the proxy server (using a dialog box I wrote) the download works fine. But uploading data using org.apache.http.client.HttpClient is not working. I am configuring the proxy server with code like this after gathering the information from a JDialog. System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", proxyHost); System.setProperty

I want to use google text to speech in my windows form application, it will read a label. I added System.Speech reference. How can it read a label with a button click event? http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?q=testing+google+speech This is the google text to speech api, or how can I use microsoft's native text to speech? M.Babcock UPDATE Google's TTS API is no longer publically available. The notes at the bottom about Microsoft's TTS are still relevant and provide equivalent functionality. You can use Google's TTS API from your WinForm application by playing the response using a

I'm working on a project, and I need to get the URLs of all opened tabs in browsers (such as Google Chrome, IE, Firefox, ...) Is there any way to do that using c# or vb.net? p.s. it is a windows form application ie: Dim browser As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer Dim myLocalLink As String Dim myDoc As mshtml.IHTMLDocument2 Dim shellWindows As SHDocVw.ShellWindows = New SHDocVw.ShellWindows() Dim filename As String For Each ie As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer In shellWindows filename = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(ie.FullName).ToLower() If filename = "iexplore" Then browser = ie myDoc =

When a JButton is added to a content pane, we can set an action by double clicking the button or Right click->Event->Action->actionPerformed.Let say, we set somthing to happen. Then we need to remove that function.It can be done easily by deleting the code we wrote in that buttton's actionPerformed. But the problem is, that button's actionPerformed method is still there even though it is not used any more and not needed. private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) { //no function here.. but this code is still remaining. need to remove this code part as well } How can

How can I use the browser as a UI for a desktop app? The ways I have come up with so far are... Use all HTML/Javascript. Problem: Can't access filesystem or just about anything else. Run a local webserver while the application is in use. Problem: How do I kill it when the user is done? My users are not technical enough to Ctrl+C. Embed a browser component in a regular GUI. Problem: Embedded browser components tend to be glitchy at best. The support for Javascript/CSS is never as good as it is in a real browser. ...? The ideal solution would work with any technology. I know there are options

I've started using SmartInspect in my Delphi applications because my users were running into bugs/problems I couldn't reproduce on my machine. When I have a general idea of the problem I'll monitor the application in a few specific places to confirm what is or is not working. When the bug doesn't have an obvious cause, I feel lost. I don't know where to start logging in order to narrow down the problem. Are there common techniques or best practices for using a logger? SmartInspect seems to be quite powerful, but I don't know quite what to log or how to organise my logs so the data is
