• SQL Server Deferred Updates versus In-Place Updates

  The following question was posted on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/195760/en-us : Q. What are the conditions under which deferred updates occur in SQL Server 7.0 A. In SQL Server 7.0, all updates are in -place (direct), provided that the column or columns participating in the clustered index key are not changed. If a change is made to a UNIQUE clustered key, the update plan runs in a hybrid mode where the query processor combines direct and deferred updates. If the clustered key is not UNIQUE, all of the updates are run as deferred. You can use SHOWPLAN to see examples of how this behavior works. Look for the SPLIT and COLLAPSE op ...Show All

• Visual Basic Visual Basic and graphics - for the novice/beginner

  Hi there I have no training in programming, but would like to start writing my own little programmes. In my work (civil engineer), I am increasingly frustrated by the lack of simple, time saving programmes to make my life easier, and hence the urge to write my own programmes. Of course, the start will be no more than programmes for one-off formulas, but having said that, I would like to (in many year's time) be able to write more complicated programmes. And of course what I have in mind involves graphics, specifically being able to draw (for instance) pipelines (with coordinates) and then be able to generate a longitudinal section from th ...Show All

• Visual Studio No such interface supported

  Seemingly out of the blue, while I was working, the Visual SourceSafe web service returned this error when I tried to interact with the VSS 2005 database through remote access ("internet access") in Visual Studio 2005... Unable to cast COM object of type '...' to interface of type '...'. The operation failed because the query interface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{...}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HERESULT: 0x800040002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). Note: Assembly paths and IIDs omitted. I think I found the solution. Looks like ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem with ComputeBoundingSphere

  I'm trying to use the Geometry.ComputeBoundingSphere method to get the radius of the bounding sphere of a simple mesh. The code is as follows: using (VertexBuffer buffer = this.mesh.VertexBuffer) { GraphicsStream graphicsBuffer = buffer.Lock(0, 0, LockFlags.None); Vector3 center; boundingSphere = Geometry.ComputeBoundingSphere(graphicsBuffer, this.mesh.NumberVertices, this.mesh.VertexFormat, out center); buffer.Unlock(); } For some reason, this code is always returning 0 as the radius of the sphere. My mesh is just a simple 7 vertex hexagon that renders fine. Thoughts ...Show All

• Visual C++ /clr Static Libs Possible / linking between mananged and unmanaged

  Hi, Are static libs built with /clr supported under vs2005   When I link against any lib built this way I end up with unresolved tokens and externals.  The same code compiles with no issues with non /clr builds. How are static functions supported   They also seem to come up undefined at times. What are the differences when linking against dlls/libs that are built as managed   I can't seem to find any documentation regarding this.  I am going by trial and error, but would like to be able to do more design. Thank you One of the issues that might be causing the unresolved tokens and err ...Show All

• Windows Forms DefaultCellStyle lost on column sort

  Hi, after setting the DefaultCellStyle.BackColor property on a row in a DataGridView, and then sorting a column at runtime, it appears to lose the formatting. Is this the correct way to set the BackColor property of a row - if so, is there any way of getting round this problem This is by design. When you set styling for a row, it is for the row index, not for the data as the DataGridview doesn't have any knowledge of the data. What you will need to do is either use the CellFormatting event and dynamically format the back color or handle the DataBindingComplete event and check for the Reset ListchangedTyp ...Show All

• Visual C++ IntelliSense works intermittently

    I understand that c++ intellisense is poor than c#, but sometimes it simply doesn’t work. The scenario is quite simple:   Edit a line and type a class object and then the -> operator. Successfully intellisense open the drop-down box and show all available members. Now go to the next line and type de same class object and intellisense is not capable to find any thing. Or at reverse situation. In first line intellisense doesn’t find anything and at the second line it finds the correct available members. And, of course, the typed stuff is correct and I strictly follow the rules given in “Troubleshooting IntelliSense in C ...Show All
