• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectSound capture in MDX2 where is the CaptureBuffer.Read function

  (MDX = Managed Direct X) I am trying to convert my MDX1 sound recorder library to MDX2. I am nearly there but for this issue with the CaptureBuffer class. In MDX1 I read from the buffer like so.. l_CaptureData = DirectCast(m_CaptureBuffer.Read(m_CaptureOffset, GetType(Byte), Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound.LockFlag.None, l_LockSize), Byte()) In MDX2 there doesn't appear to be a way to get at the bytes in the CaptureBuffer class. There is no Read ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Can't Deploy to SmartPhone Emulator or Physical Device

  My project compiles, the emulator is launched, but I get a dialog box which states: The operation could not be completed. Alternatively, I won't get the dialog box, but I'll get a status message in the IDE which states: Connect to device failed. The log messages (see below) state that all attempts to connect have failed. It indicates that it has attempted to contact the device on IP 169.254.19.106. I'm not surprised that this would fail.

• Visual Studio Team System Overriding properties in .vbproj and .csproj with Team Build

  I have a situation where I want all my visual studio projects in source control to be set to delay signed so that they have no problems developing with that code - which sets the property in each .vb/.csproj to : <DelaySign>true</DelaySign> However for a formal release build on the build machine, I dont want to delay sign. I guess I could go through the labourious exercise of editing every .vb/.csproj file to add a condition to set t ...Show All

• SQL Server Changing login permissions

  I am trying to set up a secure system and would like some advice on how to do it as it is a bit tricky. The underlying security is Windows Authentication but I need to set various permission levels in the application. What I want to do is to allow users read-only access to a users table. Once they are validated and their permission level is determined, then I want them to be assigned to the role that is set for their permission level. I hav ...Show All

• SQL Server HELP!!!! - Report parameter "Read Only"

  I'm stuck with a report not being able to use the URL parameter. I get the error: The report parameter  is read-only and cannot be modified. I do have a prompting text for the report, and I've checked the XML and there are <PROMPT></PROMPT> tags! Most likely, you've modified the parameter definition in Report Manager to make it read-only.

• Visual C# The sbyte type

  Hi, In Learning C# by Jesse Liberty, the author states that the sbyte type can store numbers from -128 to 127. I was wondering whether or not the last bit (8th) is used to store the number's sign. If it does, then how can the remaining 7 bits store a number as large as 128. The largest number that 7 bits can store is 127. So shouldn't the range for the sbyte type be -127 to 127 instead of -128 to 127 as the author has specified. Please clarif ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge disparate queries into raw file

  I have a requirement to create a file containing security Index and Index Component data (think Dow Jones Industrial Average and the 30 securities that make up the index). The format of the file is for the first index to be listed first (with some pricing data) and then followed by each of its components on a separate line. After that comes the second index and then its components. So, given: index IN1 with COM1, COM2 index IN2 ...Show All

• SQL Server Checking that an object is not empty

  Hi, Does anyone know the correct syntax to check the contents of an object variable. I want to do this as part of a constraint, TIA R You could read the object variable inside a script task, and check for it equalling Nothing . Then set a boolean variable indicating whether it is populated or not and put an expression on the precedence constraint that checks the boolean variable to see whether it should execute or not. -Jami ...Show All
