James, Whilst you in the mood for updating the wiki page with Vendor ID's could you assign me DBZOO. I've been hacking away on the LiveBox to transform it into...

How would I construct a <DllImport("xFx.dll")> into a compiled VB.net DLL Class. I am coding a plugin for LCDStudio,(A C#.net app.), that compiles to a VB.net...
JJG Looks like the xFx.dll is missing its configuration file. You need to put a copy of 'xFx.dll.config' in the same directory as xFx.dll. The xFx.dll keeps...
Hmmm, Looking a little closer at this, it looks like it's the .Net Framework that is having problems rather than xFx particularly. xFx, as part of its config...
Hi, I have released LogTemp (temperature etc. monitoring program) version with xAP protocol. It's using TCS schema but still, I am not quite happy with this. ...
Is there anyplace where a person can find (even the draft spec) of the version 1.3 xAP?? I would like to support the extended uid correctly in the programs...

Kevin, Do the xAP BSC commands still contain the "ID" field in the body? Do these messages keep the multi-block body feature after the new xAP spec? Thanks, ...
Hi Daniel, Yes the ID field remains in BSC bodies - it can now be longer of course to support the longer sub addresses in v1.3 and should be an even number of...
I have another question: For new designs that don't need the additional features provided by xAP v1.3, could we still use the old v1.2 format (with shorter...
xAP v1.3 totally supports* xAP v1.2 so you can, should you wish still write xAP v1.2 applications - but I would make them tolerant of xAP v1.3 applications...
This comes up repeatedly. There's a set of .ocx files (eg, ntsvc.ocx) that are not part of a standard Windows installation but that seem to be assumed to be...
