• Visual Basic AnalogTVTuningSpace and MSVidCtl

  I´m trying to develop a decent tv tuner/capture application (since there are no such apps, nowhere, I say) in Visual Basic 6.0. I´m using the MSVidCtl component together with the AnalogTVTuningSpace and IChannelTuneRequest object to achieve this, as described here:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/directx9_c/directX/htm/hostingthevideocontrolinavisualbasicform.asp  and here:  http://msdn.micro ...Show All

• Visual C# Validation Philosophy

  I am working with a Winform in VS 2005. I have been reading some books lately that say that using the error provider and checking it when you save or exit a form is a better, (less intrusive) way of doing validation than putting up dialog boxes. I see the wisdom to it but I wonder what should happen when you have many records in a form That is, lets say I have a winform with the Standard menu and toolbar on it that VS creates automatically, but lets also say that this form (a detail form) has many rows. With regard to validation, how should it be handled Should I wait until save or exit is selected If so, telling the user that there a ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Orthographic Projection using DXUT CModelViewerCamera

  I was wondering if there is an easy way to obtain an orthographic projection with the DXUT camera class CModelViewerCamera I have unsuccesfully tried the following configuration: D3DXVECTOR3 vecEye(-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f); D3DXVECTOR3 vecAt (0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); g_Camera.SetViewParams( &vecEye, &vecAt ); g_Camera.SetProjParams(45.0f, 1.0, 0.0f, 10.0f); I'm not aware of there being any built in method, but CModelViewerCamera derives from CBaseCamera , so you could conceivably specialize it further and add in orthographic support. If you follow the trail, CModelViewerCamera::Set ...Show All

• SQL Server MIIS 2003

  Is there any way to make MIIS 2003 install with SQL 2005, or do I have to stay with SQL 2000 SP3 for all new MIIS 2003 implementations thanks, Azin I'm not sure anyone in this forum knows enough about MIIS to answer this. The forum is about SQL Integration Services (part of SQL 2005 product), not about Identity Integration Server. (Sorry, I don't know if there is a forum for MIIS either). ...Show All

• SQL Server Bug in NS 2005?

  We have rolled out a solution on SQL 2005 and NS for 2005. As we have been looking into reporting notifications from our system I came across that a column that is created out of the box does not make sense. In the generated table NS<NotificationClassName>Notifications there is a column called SubscriptionID, it is set as nvarchar(255), but in the NS<SubscriptionClassName>Subscriptions the SubscriptionID is BIGINT. Why would then be different when the refer to the same thing What we have done for our solution is not read from the NS table directly, since we do have vacuuming enabled, but we trigger all notifications to another t ...Show All

• SQL Server Label Reports

  Are there any facilities in reporting services (2005 or 2000) for doing mailing label reports. We used to use these a lot in MS Access but now we are using Reporting Services for reports and it doesn't seem like there are facilities for labels. I am guessing it could be arranged with some clever lists or tables but not so nice as just picking the type of labels and it does all the formatting for you. Any info would be much appreciated.

• .NET Development How to connect to ODBC from VB Express 2005

  I don't understand how to connect to a ODBC database from VB Express 2005. Here's my problem: When I go to add data source, I'm offered the choices of mySQL and another MS database on my machine. But no ODBC. To test the availability of my data, I opened Visual Web Developer and used the similar procedure: Add data source. There my data is listed in the selections box and when I add it, I can read all the data in each table. So it appears by my database is available as a "system" ODBC source. What do I need to do differently in BV Express I've worked on this for hours! JS This is correct by design, the Expres ...Show All

• .NET Development Managed Memory Leak?

  I am having a very strange memory leak that seems related to databinding. It is very hard to reproduce, so I won't post any code here to do so, but will just describe the problem. We have data entry forms which have controls which bind to custom business objects through a BindingSource object. On Dispose of the form, we call ClearBindings as described in: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnwinforms/html/databinding_winforms10_11.asp#databinding_winforms10_11_topic11 However, our business object stay in memory after the form has been closed ...Show All
