• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Simple DirectX 2.0.0.0 question

  I'm wicked confused. the Managed DirectX 9 (v1.0.2902.0) dll doesn't have any XFile handling capabilities. the DirectX v2.0.0.0 has Xfile support but doesn't have ANY documentation support and is much different than 1.0.2902.0. Then i hear both of these are to be replaced with XNA all i want to do is make a managed program that can import Xfiles. MDX 2.0 is not a complete API - its still in beta and since XNA f ...Show All

• .NET Development holland culture

  Hi , Can any one of you please specify the culture which should be used for Holland. I used nl-NL. With this if I want to add a minus figure to some number it gives the minus sign after the value. eg 200,00  10,00- Please note that this is not to minus 10 from 200 but to add "minus 10 " to 200. I think according to holland this "-" sign should come infront of 10. Can any one please specify why this is coming behind the 10... Thank in adva ...Show All

• SQL Server What is up with Defaults in 2005????

  To keep inline with BOL, I have gone away from the CREATE DEFAULT and sp_binddefault when using defaults, and have gone to using what BOL suggests and specifying the default on the column definition when adding a column. However, I cannot find anywhere how to REMOVE a default when applied in this manner. I need to delete a column via T-SQL and according to BOL it says a column cannot be deleted when it is associated with a default that is defin ...Show All

• Visual Basic Threading not working as expected (using a COM class in a BackgroundWorker)

  Hi, I've written a COM server class (KCAMSERVERLib.Camera) to remotelly control digital cameras from the computer through a USB cable. I'm now in the process of writing a simple GUI for it, and I've chosen VB2005 for that purpose. Some actions, like "Shoot()"ing a picture, take some time so I added a BackgroundWorker object to my VB project to run them in a separate thread. The problem is that the GUI still freezes during shooting, l ...Show All

• .NET Development XML Schema - Trimming

  I'm using an XML schema in SQL Server 2005 that has 'include' directives in it, and because SQL 2005 doesn't support 'include' directives, i've had to merge all the schemas into one to overcome this. The schema itself works fine, but my problem stems from the fact that the schema itself ends up about 2MB (50,000+lines) and includes far too many elements/types that I don't need, but were in the included schemas. Stripping them out by hand tak ...Show All
