• SQL Server De-normalising query

  OK. I know this can be done with cursors but would like some pointers on if SQL 2005 provides any more elegant solutions. Basically I have 2 tables ... TableParent(ParentPK, ChildFK) TableChild(ChildPK, ChildValue) For each row in TableParent, TableChild may have up to say 5 rows. I need to transform this into a table containing at most the first 3 ChildValues (ordered by ChildPK) of the form ChildValue1 Childvalue2 ChildValue3 Any tips on how this could be achieved by a more efficient means than cursors Thanks, Greg. You can do below in SQL Server 2005: select pt.Parent_PK, [1] as ChildValue1, [ ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Drawing 2d polygons with holes

  Hi, I'd like to draw arbitrarily shaped 2d polygons, with holes, using managed DirectX. Do I have to write my own code to break down the polygon into triangles, or does DirectX provide this facility I can't see anything in the help that looks like it would do this for me. Direct3D and the underlying hardware operate on 3 types of primitives - points, lines and triangles. Anything more than that it upto you to triangulate (this also applies to parametric/higher-order surfaces). Triangulation pops up in a few places in general graphics theory, so I would imagine you can find a few algorithms around (the only ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF30162: Task "WITs" from Group "WorkItemTracking" failed

  This is with Beta3 on a real 2003 Standard Server SP1. Setup worked without a problem. I did change the name of the three accounts but they all work fine. I cannot create a project with a user account that's in the domain admin group. However I can create a project with the <setup> account logged on on the server directly. Thinking it's a SQL permission kinda thing, I gave the domain account all the same permissions as the <service> account, but that still did not work. I tried the deletion of the cache directory, but that did not make a difference. Can someone give me any hints how to go on with this. Peter ...Show All

• SQL Server Trouble with XML Bulkloading from a stream

  Hi, I am having trouble bulkloading xml into SQL from a stream.  I am able to bulkload the XML from a file, but I want to load it into an XMLDocument first and then bulkload it.  I understand that the bulkload execute command is overloaded to do this but no matter what I try I get an 'Error opening the data file.' exception. I am using SQLXML 3.0 and C#.  Does anyone have any ideas Thanks. I am kind of confused about loading the Xml file into XmlDocument and how you use the Bulkload. Are you passing an XmlDocument to Bulkload If so, this is not possible. You can only pass a file uri or a stream to bulklad as data xml. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Making Trackbar in MediaElement

  I wish Avalon Has a right help file. It is hard to figuar it out. I am making a sample program like Windows media player. How Can I change the position of the movie clip with progressive bar. I thought I can use "MediaElement.Player.Position" but it seems not working... Would you give an example code please   This can be achieved by databinding a Slider's Value to the Position property (as you mentioned above). The trick is that the Slider needs to be notified whenever Position changes, which doesn't happen automatically since Position is not a DP. This can be done by setti ...Show All

Hi. I'm really interested in XNA Studio, too, but I understand that it's not for casual developers (I'm a hobbyist). Is there any screenshots showing XNA Studio And by the way, nice forum.

Anyone any idea how to do this I would prefer to code the CPU throttling into the C# app rather than use a external program. Thanks, Stevoie for what exactly is this needed if you're running in a loop, you can use System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(); to slow down if needed, or just calculate stuff depending on the time that the last loop needed.. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Help On A Tricky Console Application

  I Am Creating a Console Application (and/or) A Form That Can Achieve the Following Things. I need it to respond to a Key Press while it is not the active window, and I need it to write directly to the screen for a few seconds. To clear things up, I want to have a full screen window open, be able to press page up and page down to change a value that will be printed directly to the screen for a few seconds. Then I can press print screen and it will add it to a running total that I can view for a few seconds by pressing insert.
