• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is it reasonable to build cos/sin/acos/asin func textures? (HLSL)

  I'm just wondering if it is reasonable to build function textures for the cos/sin/acos/asin in a HLSL shader. Or is it quicker to use the respective HLSL functions Nico All depends on task - sometimes it's reasonable to save memory and waste a little CPU cycles, sometimes CPU cycles are more precious and memory are not a problem. ...Show All

• .NET Development SOAP exception raw soap dump

  Hi, Can anyone tell me where I can find a raw SOAP dump of what a SOAP Exception response looks like. As well for SOAP1.1 as SOAP1.2 thanks.

• Visual C++ Registry editing

  I'm having trouble creating the code for a button to change a couple of registry keys. I've searched google for hours and hours now, but all the code I can find about registry editing doesn't work in my version (2005 beta 1). I can't even get the code from MSDN to work So my question is simple (I hope): Let's say I want that button to change the value from Username in the map HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blasoft\3dgame\ to Savarage, how would i do that Thnx! This works for me: Registry::SetValue(keyName, "Username" , "Scamp" ); Registry::SetValue(keyName, "Password" , gcnew array <Byte>{ 0x ...Show All

• Visual Basic Using and deploying DLL files without having to register it under Windows : is it possible ?

• SQL Server MBSA "Identity"

  My Windows login is a domain administrator. I run MBSA and ask it to scan only my computer. I have removed Builtin\administrators from the sysadmin role in my SQL Server 2000 installation. The login is still there. MBSA is still able to get into my SQL Server and report that there is a guest user in Northwind and Pubs. It does not, however, report on the logins with weak passwords, which it did when Builtin\Administrators was a member of sysadmins. This leads me to believe that it does use the BuiltIn\Adminstrators login to access the SQL Server. Is this correct Thanks, Sharon MBSA connects with the user c ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Foundation in Framework 1.1

  Hi, I'm a newbe 2 WFM so just enjoy my ignorance. We are still using Studio 2003 for our Web Applications - is there any way to use WMF with Framework 1.1 From all info I'm getting now, it seems like WMF is something for framework 2.2, no examples for vs2003. Thanks in advance. GotIt PS Have I posed this question in wrong forum Please correct me. Sorry dude, it’s not possible I think. You'll need Framework 2.0 and WinFX.

• Visual Studio Team System Procedure for using Build Server with Multiple Branches

  I have question in regards to properly using the Build Server with multiple branches of an application.  As an example lets say I have a simple solution (called TEST) with a web 'project' and a class library.  When I first setup my build type, I set it up to build the TEST solution.  I run the build and it creates build number: 20051008.1.    I then "Branch" my solution in Version Control to keep a build history.  So I create Branch20051008.1 in Version Control. So now I have 2 branches - the main line - TEST solution, and the branched build version Branch20051008.1.  Through testing a couple days ...Show All
