  I am running Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The project I am working on has the feature which copies the Database into the Bin folder turned off.

The updated row count returned is what I expected. There are no exceptions raised. I can then retrieve the database data into a varia ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. MechCommander2: Multi-Player?

  This probably isn't the right place, but I've been trying to figure out how to enable multi-player play for MechCommander2. I'm thinking it has to do with the lack of a cd-key, but I'm not certain. Where should I look Multiplayer was disabled for our shared source release and most of the functions and code have been stubbed out. If you look through the code you can see how it was being used and possibly implement your own multiplayer functionality.
