• SQL Server Moving SSIS packages from one machine to the other

  I have developed some packages in my desktop, which works fine. I tried to move the project from my desktop to laptop by just copying the whole project folder. When I open the package within the project, it used to validate each package and used to hang for a longtime (Due to connection string etc). As Jamie suggested DelayValidation = TRUE sorted that problem out, which means the package opens now without hanging. I still have problems with the migrated package. It lost the layout of my package. Also it lost the link between components. In other words I have got components scattered around without any green / red / blue lines betw ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Different results between REF and HAL devyce

  Hi! When executing my pixel shader, results are ok. But when I execute with my recent new grpahic card Quadro FX 3400/4400 results are rubbish. Exactly what happens is that! In my pixel shader I have these four operations Output.weights.x = (1-frac2.x)*(1-frac2.y);\n" // 1 float output Output.weights.y = frac2.x*(1-frac2.y); // 1 float output Output.weights.z = (1-frac2.x)*frac2.y; //1float output Output.weights.w = frac2.x*frac2.y; // 1float output Using Devyce_REF results are for example 0.5625 0.1875 0.1875 0.0625 that its exactly what i'm waiting for, but using my grpahic card the results are quite differents : 0.56175613 0.19117355 0. ...Show All
