• Visual Studio Team System No effect of "define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE 1"

  For the moment I want to suppress all the deprecated insecure functions during static code analysis.  I've added this line in two separate files that get included in all source files: #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE 1 to no effect -- the output still contains warning of these functions.  A colleague has resorted to #pragma to supress these warnings.  I'm curious as to why this doesn't work as documented in the help. Thanks. Sam ...Show All

• SQL Server XML Bulk Load schema question

  I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction with a schema file for importing XML into a DB - the XML file has multiple sublevels, all of which need to be imported into a single table. I have it functioning "to an extent", meaning part of the file is imported - however, some of the sublevels have been driving me nuts, and I am not sure how to get it to work for all of the columns. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED - I've ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX or Managed DirectX ?

  Hello, it's my first post here ;) I've been developing in DirectX for several years (using c++). I am thinking if it's worth to move to the "managed world" I can do everything in c++ and directx but creating apps in c# and mdx is much faster and simpler.

• Windows Forms ComboBox Binding with a Blank Selected Index Initially???

The only answer I can think of is maybe populate an RA with the data leav ...Show All
