• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Windows Game Testing standards

  Hi, I'm looking for a set of standards to QA test a game against. Actual gameplay aside, we're interested in making sure the game performs admirably in the 'Plays well with Windows' category. To give a few examples: Alt-ENTER should switch from Full Screen to Windowed mode. Clicking the game in the taskbar should minimize or restore it. The game should regain focus properly when Alt-TAB is used. There are all kinds of little things that are taken for granted with normal Windows apps that just seem to break when it comes to games. We've written a good suite of tests, but it would be nice to have a solid guide to go on. Does ...Show All

• SQL Server New Guy Question: Which came first ... the chicken or the checkpoint file?

  Hello all...here's a question from a newbie ... I'm attempting to configure my SSIS package to use a checkpoint file.  I've checked the docs, and I believe I've set all the package properties for this ... except they are looking for the name of the checkpoint file.  I've tried a couple of experiments such as c:\myCheckpoint.txt and c:\myCheckpoint.xml ... just for grins ... to see if SSIS would generate a checkpoint file for me at the start of the package ... no luck: Message: Checkpoint file "C:\myCheckpoint.xml" failed to open due to error 0x80070002 "The system cannot find the file specified.".
