• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Transparent textures again

  Hi, I'm bringing the transparent issue once again to this forum, mainly because after of doing a lot of google searches, forum searches, etc, I still can't get transparency to work. I've created a png file that has transparency. I know it is correct, because I've opened it with the D3d texture viewer, and I can see the alpha channel. I've created a simple object and assigned the texture to it in 3ds max. I've loaded the object but the transparency isn't working. I'm already tried SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHABLENDENABLE, TRUE). I'm rendering with DrawSubset(). Any ideas Thanks SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHABL ...Show All

• SQL Server Event handler bubble up problem

    The idea is that the severity 2 tasks are bubbled up to a single Event Handler. Tasks with severity 1 and 3 errors should not bubble up as they have their own event handlers. Lets assume the path between the inner severity 2 container and the severity 1 task is a failure path. There are two problems appearing: 1. If Task A with Severity 2 and Task C with Severity 1 both error then each error is recorded twice: a. Once when Task A with Severity 2 errors b. Once more when Severity 2 Error Container B errors (with FailParentOnFailure set to True) c. Once when Task C with Severity 1 errors d. Once more when Severity 2 Error ...Show All

  Hi, I get this error: The version of the linked measure group, with the name of 'Currency', on the remote instance has changed... We synchronize the cubes from server A to B. The error appears after a few hours on server B (the production system). Processing the Curency cube (part of a linked measure group) solves the problem. The problem doesn't occur on server A.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Serialization Problem

  Hi to all, I have been using beta 2 bits for a couple of days and trying to upgrade my project with the new stuff.

  When tf.exe (beta 3 refresh version) displays an error message the text is colored in yellow on black. My command prompt windows usually have black text on white background.

Here is the list of display settings.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bind Scale to Slider

  I'm dabbling with Avalon and I've come across a problem. As a test, I want to bind the scale of a TreeView to a Slider, which has a Minimum and Maximum of 1 and 10, respectively. Now, I found out that I could not bind via the LayoutTransform property on the TreeView itself ("scale {Binding ElementName=slider, Path=Value}" does not compile). Instead, I tried this: < TreeView.LayoutTransform >    < ScaleTransform ScaleX = " {Binding ElementName=slider, Path=Value} " /> </ TreeView.LayoutTransform > This time, it was complaining that ScaleX needed a double value, which it was not getting. So I lo ...Show All
