• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XFiles & Transforms

  Does anyone know how are the transformations stored inside an XFile frame hierarcy, is each transform relative to it's parent, or are they in world space Nested transformation frames are relative to each other. That is: Frame0 { Frame1 { } Frame2 { } } Frame1 and Frame2 are children of Frame0, and all meshes contained within these two children frames should be transformed using the world matrix built from the concatenated Frame0 and Frame1/2 matrices... ...Show All

• SQL Server Foreach Loop Enumerator Question

  Any help appreciated here... I'm inserting a CSV file into my SQL Server 2005 Sept CTP which has approx 1700 rows.  It contains Companies and Contacts which I split in a data flow and determine if with Fuzzy Lookups whether dupes exist and perform either insert or update (That works great).  Here is my issue: The database does not use Sequence for the Pkeys and to make matters worse they are prefixed with letters.  I have to generate them on my own with a custom function I have written.  I need to step through each record of the CSV and assign the Pkey value and upon successfull insert update the counters table. I cannot ...Show All

• Visual C# passing a string (varchar) to a stored procedure

  Hello, I am using VS 2003 and SQL 2005. I can successfully pass an integer to a stored procedure and have it execute correctly, however when I try to pass a parameter with a string, it bombs out when trying to load my dataset. If I run the stored procedure directly on the server, it works great and returns the two rows, its just passing it in C# where it fails. It is a simple query looking for any row with the last name of "Brown". Here is my SP. ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo] . [sp_arj_query_patients] ( @Lname varchar ( 50 ) --I have confirmed this is the correct datatype and length in the table. ) AS SELECT ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System License contact - where are they?

  Hi probably this is a FAQ but I can't find the FAQ anywhere (sorry). After a brief evaluation of the trial version downloaded from: Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite 180-Day Trial we are quite happy and we would like to understand its price and conditions. Is this the right forum for these kind of questions I am quite confused about the difference (and therefore the prices) between: - Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite (the above trial): how can I know whether the funcionalities I have been testing in the Team Suite will be available in the Team edition for Software testers - the VS2005 Team ...Show All

  Sorry about the incredibly stupid title, anyway, here's my question.

• Visual Studio Team System Ignoring certain DependentRequests return codes..

  Hi all, I am having an issue parsing dependent links that I think has been mostly covered by a few other posts but a solution was not suggested at that point. In post 62544: How to Ignore Web Test Errors there was a suggestion to turn off ParseLinks. This seems a little extreme in my case as I have a request that pulls in about 30 links. One of these links is to an ad server which is called with a URL and no page at the end.. Because there is no html or the like it tries to parse the directory and receives a "403 Forbidden". I would like to just ignore this link in the list of dependent links. I have generated code for the tests but am un ...Show All

• SQL Server How to create variable shared within the SQL Report

  I am testing out the SQL Reporting. I tried to create a variable that will work like a global variable which can store and maintain value in any grouping. I have a report that has a table running a stored procedure. Then I create 4 groups inside the table. I need to extract information from each group and store into a custom code variable and use it later. However, I found that scooping applies to each group. Under the custom code section, I define Public temp As String Say I add a string "R" into temp for each group (there are 4 groups), suppose I should get 4 Rs at the end, but I only get the value which is before it enters into eac ...Show All

• SQL Server Using SqlDependency in Web Servive Context

  Hi: Can SqlDependency be used in a stateless model such as web services Thanks, Duy Your question is related to ASP.NET Web services and SQL Server Query Notifications. I would recommend posting your question on ASP.NET Web services forum and/or the SQL Server Data Access forum. This forum is focused on SQL Server Notification Services (SQL-NS). I agree the names can be confusing. SQL-NS (in a nutshell) is a platform based on the pub-sub model of gathering "external" events and deliver customized notifications through various different delivery channels like email, SMS, etc. This is ...Show All
