• Software Development for Windows Vista SqlStatePersistenceService troubles

  Hi,  Adding a SqlPersistanceService to my workflow host causes the workfow to abort when it tries to persist.  Unfortunatly the WorkflowAbort events arguments don't realy tell me anything usefull. The database is SQl Server 2000 sp3a and the persistance setup scripts have been executed creating the required tables and sp's. Initialising the SqlPersistanceService instance with a valid connections string causes no errors (indic ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Drawing a background bitmap as fast as possible

  Hi I'm playing around with MDX a bit, but I have some issues. Many of them I already figuered out, but some I need to ask. What is the easiest way to draw a background bitmap. The bitmap doesn't need to do alpha-blending, nor does it need to stretch or anything. It is a simple Draw(MyTex, 0, 0); When I'm not drawing this imageI have an FPS of 4000 on my GForce 7800, when I draw this image it falls down to 1300 FPS. Not really an issue y ...Show All

• SQL Server Internet Merge Replication IIS

  Maybe I am missing something here, but it seems like the point of doing Merge Replication via IIS is so that you do not have to expose your DB server directly to the internet (i.e. all your clients), rather you expose a webserver to the internet and the webserver handles the replication keeping your DB server closed to direct internet access and thus keeping it more secure. However, to set up Internet Merge Replication using IIS a client has ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can you programmatically checkin a file to source control with a specified date?

  We are looking at importing some RCS based projects into TFS.  We can grab each version and it's history via the command line and then pump each version into TFS.  However the dates in TF won't reflect the actual dates of the checkin in our other version control system.  How would you go about doing this   BTW, in this case the old system never supported branching and we don't care if we lose labels in the transfer.  ...Show All
