• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vsync and timer problems

  It seems that using a PresentInterval of one in windowed mode causes my application to miss frames periodically. About 1/10th of a second every couple of seconds. This doesn't happen in full screen mode. Now what's really weird is that if I hibernate my computer with the program running, when it comes back the windowed mode doesn't vsync at all. I get about 30 FPS with lots of tearing, and Present() taking lots of time (sometimes 40 milliseconds). Full screen mode still works. Switching back to windowed mode (tearing down the DirectX device, and creating a new one) doesn't solve the problem. It still doesn't sync. Re-running ...Show All

• SQL Server Package variables in case of an Exception

  Hi there, I may be blind, but I'm sure that I have seen a post about package variables 'ExceptionMessage' and 'ExceptionCode' or somehow which are only available when an Exception occurs.
