• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DXUT tutorial

  Is there more information I can get on how to use the sample framework that comes with DX other then on microsoft.com.  There's not a lot there, and I really want to be able to use the user interfaces and controls effectivly. Thanks, Shane Tom Miller 's book " Beginning 3D Game Programming " also uses the sample framework quite heavily, and he gives you a fair bit of information on what's being used and why. Bear in mind that this was written against the October 2004 SDK, so some of the code needs to be updated to work with the current versions, and that some of the samples in the book aren't quite rig ...Show All

• SQL Server Passing connection managers to subpackages.

  Is there a recommended way to pass the connection managers from the parent package to the subpackages I also noticed that the subpackages can't reference the same configuration file as I get error messages when I try to build the solution. After I changed the configuration file for each subpackage it worked just fine. Did I miss something or is this intended to work this way thanks This falls into what I said: "The user must enter the password manually" If the user enters the password value in the wizard I must save that value into the configuration file because this is what the user want. Is not that we ...Show All

• SQL Server Remote Connection problem on MS SQL 2000

  Hello, First, I want to say I read all threads similar this thread and I couldn't solve problem. My firewall is always off when I tried to connect remotly to SQL Server. I opened 1433 port from my router's configuration page and forwarded it to 10.0.0.4:1433. When I started SQL Server service and checking "netstat" with "-na" paramters. It shows only one row as "TCP - 0.0.0.0:1433 to 0.0.0.0:0". What "0.0.0.0" means and why foreign addres port is "0". I guess, It should like to be "TCP - 10.0.0.4:1433 to OutsideIp:1433". I removed forwarding from my router and used Windows's Network Connection to forward ports. I opened ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to get code coverage from an Automatic Build

  Hi, I'm using Team Build and this seems to work fine (I could Build my Artifacts and run some Unit Test and FXCop). What I could not make is get some coverage information. The solution I'm using (including the Unit Tests and the testrunconfig) generates code coverage information when the test are run on my desktop. When I Build it through Team Build, the Build and the test run fine, but there is no coverage information. Any reason Any way to make work Thanks in advance Anu, I'm having the same issue as Lucas was, however editing the test run config file didn't seem to fix it.  The project compiles and runs all of the tests success ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I deploy a .Net app on a PC without the framework installed?

• Windows Forms Controls within a User Control not "stateful"

  Hello, First off, I hope that stateful is the correct word for what I'm trying to describe! I'm working on a user control (control A) that contains many controls within it (textboxes, a radio button, listboxes, comboboxes and a button - as well as a whack of labels). During a stage in the application, the form that contains the user control (form A, just say) is hidden when another form (form B) appears, and it can be re-dislayed by closing the form B. That's all find and good, except that form A does not retain the values inside control A. Control A's class is marked with <Serializable()> and I would assume that the controls within wo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Hang up of PC when debugging Multithreaded Mixed C++/C# application

  Hi, I have some strange problems when debugging a multithreaded (about 20 threads) application in Visual Studio 2005: When I stop the threads by calling Abort/ Join, etc the debugged application takes 100% percent of the cpu and the complete pc hangs up. But when I take the created executable (Debug version) and call it by means of windows explorer everything works fine. This leads me to the assumption that this is a problem concerning Visual Studio. Additional info:   - I do not use any timers.    - My solution contains a managed c++ DLL which references an unmanaged    c++&nb ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Another question about state machine and handleexternalevent

• SQL Server Error rendering sub-reports

  I have a report (ReportA) that is a matrix showing monthly figures for 1 of 20 different items (think of monthly sales figures for 20 different products).  In order to obtain a report for all 20 items, it is necessary to generate this report 20 times.  To ease generating the reports, I created a new report(ReportB) that has a simple table displaying the recordset of all 20 items.  The single cell of the report contains a subreport object tied to ReportA.  Each record is passed to the subreport as the parameter of the subreport. The table is grouped by the items and a page break is inserted at the end of each gro ...Show All
