• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Having a cpu usage issue...

  My app is direct3d9 using a small oop framework i made. When the application is running (windowed) my computer has ~15% cpu usage. When i focus another window on top of that one or i minimize the window, cpu usage goes all the way up to 100%... very annoying i really dont know wat the prob is. I think it has smthing to do with the main loop: while (msg.message!=WM_QUIT) { if (PeekMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0,PM_REMOVE)) { TranslateMessage(&msg); DispatchMessage(&msg); } else { Render(); } }   I have also tried this: while (g_bRunning) { while (PeekMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0,PM_ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Changing the site for multiple web tests.

  I know I can change the context for multiple tests when running from console mode by typing 'set Test.Webserver1=http://bla'. Is there a way to do change the context while running the tests inside of visual studio other than one test at a time Thanks, TomK Tom, I assume you mean running webtests by themselves, not within a load test. The easiest way is still to set an environment variable. After setting the environment variable, you will likely need to restart VS before running the tests. If you are talking about running web tests inside a loadtest, you can add a context parameter to the load test with the same name as t ...Show All

• SQL Server Matrix column visibility

  Hello, I have one column group and three static columns. I'd like to control static column visibility property depending on a field value. I.e. Hidden: =Fields!GroupId<>5.

• SQL Server Can't Attach Database using SQL Server Management Studio Express

  I am having a problem Attaching, well actually not being able to see a database when attempting to attach it. I suspect this is more of a security issue rather than a problem with Management Studio, but I can't figure out what is happening. If I copy a database to Documents and Settings\All Users\... and attempt to attach I can see the file in the selection tree. This also is the case if I copy it to Documents and Settings\Default User\... But if I copy it to Documents and Settings\ADynarski\... which is the account I normally log into, when I expand the folder in the selection tree, nothing is visible. And the same thing occurs if I copy ...Show All
