• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I have some artifacts with fog

  When I use Exp or Exp2 fog in vertex mode I have a strange effect with big triangles when I rotate the camera. I concluded that the fog calculations are wrong. When I use Linear fog all is ok. Small triangles also looks as they must. Do you have some ideas what is the problem Do you have range fog enabled It sounds like when you're using linear fog you're getting range fog, but when you using exponential fog you're not.

• SQL Server Conditional execution of first task

  I have a situation where I'd like to conditionally execute the first task in a package based on the contents of a user variable. If user variable "Var1" is false I want to begin execution with the first task. If "Var1" is true I want to begin execution at the second task.

• .NET Development Syntax for ordering by a column that contains a #

  I am using a OleDbCommand in C# 2.0. If I have a column called Record#, what is the proper syntax for sorting by this column I tried "SELECT * FROM MyTable ORDER BY Record#" but it does not work. However, when I rename the column to RecordNum, the above syntax works (using ORDER BY RecordNum). I believe it has something to do with either SQL or OLE thinking # is a representation of a date of some sort. I have also tried 'Record#' and \"Reco ...Show All
