• Visual Studio Team System Connect to a TFS as a different user

  Actually 2 questions: 1. In vs.net team explorer, is it true that by default it will connect to a team foundation server with currently logon windows ID 2. If I want to connect to TFS in team explorer as a different user without logging out of Windows, how #1 That is my understanding, that it does connect as the person who is logged onto the computer. #2 One way, more of a hack, would be to hold down the Shift key, then right-click on Team Explorer or Visual Studio 2005 and select Run As... This would allow you to run the application as a different user, and Team Explorer would use that user when authenticating to T ...Show All

• Visual C++ number counter issue

  Hello, I am trying to do something simple I hope. Basically I have a counter in a for loop that counts from 1 to 500. for ( int i = 0; i < 500; i++) {   cout << i;  } when this runs, it displays the numbers one after another like so:   123456789101112131415161718192021223 .....and so on. I would like it to display one on top of the next number and not move one position to the right. So basically, if I slow it down, the user could actually see the numbers being counted out, but they will remain in the first position and not move over to the next position each time it is printed out.

• SQL Server "command line parameters are invalid " is the output for a SQL job to run SSIS package

However when I ran the job, it claims successful but doesn’t do anything in reality. If I checked the box failing the package upon validation warming, the job will fail with the error: the command line paramet ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Threading issues

  Background... I'm using Borland Delphi 9, with Clootie's DirectX wrappers.  I'm working within a VCL component, which has worked fine in a single thread.  Just think of it as c++ directx9 with MFC. Here's the problem: I'm creating dynamic textures in a background thread to use in rendering,  but every so often, I get a 'Driver Internal Error' which translates into an out of memory error.  Now, in Delphi, you can't call Release nicely, so all you have to do is set it to nil to delete it.  The thing is, if I do this (what seems to be) too fast, DXUTCreateTexture decides that there's not enough mem ...Show All
