• .NET Development Problem to connect to AD

  I'm not sure this is the best forum to ask the asnwer because the problem is hard to surround... I have a web application using Forms Authentication and doing the authentication by checking in AD. I will also retrieve some other information from AD on the user or its group. Then I have some unit tests that will use the application by generating some HTTP GET / POST web request. Each night, my application is built on the Team Foundation Server and all the tests are run without any problem. But when I run my tests on my local machine, I have some error when I try to do the authentication. The exception is "The server is not opera ...Show All

• Visual C# DirectX suddenly not working properly

  Few weeks ago I wrote the code that uses texture and it worked ok. But, due to slowness of my WinXP I reinstalled windows, again the XP, and installed MS VS .Net and a DirectX SDK. But, this time my code hangs in the texture constructor. Same thing happens with the sample code that goes with the DirectX programming book, which also worked perfectly before. I also installed MS VS .Net on my other partition, in Win2000 and it again does not work. Please gimme some hint what could it be and what to do. Thanx in advance, Milos Looks like you either have an old version of the directX sdk, or the referances in yo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Stretch texture

  Based on the following code that uses a Sprite and Texture to draw a textured square... _sprite.Begin( D3D.SpriteFlags.AlphaBlend ); _sprite.Draw( _texture, new Rectangle( 0, 0, (int)_width, (int)_height ), new Vector3( 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f ), new Vector3( (int)_left, (int)_top, 0.0f ), Color.FromArgb( 255, 255, 255, 255 ) ); _sprite.End(); ...I am confused as to what part of this code I can change to stretch my texture horizontally or vertically. According to intellisense, the call parameters break down as follows: the texture (obviously), the area of the texture that ...Show All

• Visual C++ Manifest Issue

• Visual Basic Visual Basic 2005 Question for Calling Another Program

  Hi All, I have a question I'm trying to figure out - I'm writing a simple little VB app where I want to have a button or some type of action that when activated, it will call another application. I can get this to work, however, I need to be able to use switches with my application and that is generating an error when I try to run my app. The following is the code I'm using (I'll use notepad as the sample program I'm trying to run) Dim test1 As String = "C:\windows\system32\notepad.exe" System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(test1) This works and will start the notepad app but if I use something along the lines of the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Getting rendered graphics (quickly) from the card

  I had a thread about thins some days back, but for some reason I can not write into it now. I am faced with the task of rendering some graphics with directx and then copying that graphics into another card which generates a video signal. I need to feed it a new frame 25 times a second. The size is 720*576 The rendering does not have to be any faster that this. I have tried two methods of geting the pixels, and both are much too slow. One takes 500ms for a frame and the other 1800ms. I need a time below 40 for this to work. I post the two methods below. Perhaps someone can provide input as to what I need to do. I might add that ot ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to convert string to byte array?

  How can I convert any string (containing not only numbers) to array of bytes in VS2005 (for storing in Registry as binary) If you mean any string, that it may conatin also binary (i.e. 0x00 bytes) than base64 would be a gould emthode to code the binary byte sequence into a string. Look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/vclrfbase64encode.asp But note the RegSetValue supports also REG_BINARY. So you can directly write any binary data to the registry. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/regsetvalue.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sys ...Show All

• SQL Server Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance

  No wonder Microsoft is giving it away for free. It’s not worth anything. I am very disappointed in this version of SQL server. I decided to start learning VB so I downloaded and installed VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express. I tried to build a personal website using the starter kit. I kept getting the following error message, for which I have seen numerous postings on this forum. “Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.” I went out and bought the Standard version of VS 2005 thinking there may be a feature that the free exp ...Show All
