• Visual Studio Express Editions WINDOWS CONTROL LIBRARY FOR VISUAL BASIC 2005 EXPRESS

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 stdevp function

  I am currently unable to get the stdevp function to work. The query is as follows: SELECT stdevp(Schedule_Weight) AS Expr1 FROM Order_Start_Steps_Weights WHERE (Schedule_Weight_Type = 1) When I try to execute the query (from either BIDS or SSMS) the query gets changed to: SELECT COUNT_BIG(Schedule_Weight) AS Expr1 FROM Order_Start_Steps_Weights WHERE (Schedule_Weight_Type = 1) I should mention that the stdev function works just fine if I substitute that for the stdevp function. Needless to say, there is a big difference between counting a population and finding the standard deviation of a population. Have I ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DXSDK: How to store the state of the CModelViewerCamera?

  Is it possible to store the state of the CModelViewerCamera (DXSDK) to later reload it I didn't manage it. I like to store the rotations that were made around the model using the mouse. Interestingly the Eye Point doesn't change when rotating, so it seems the object is rotated rather than the camera. This is proofed by the fact that only the cameras world matrix is changing when rotating. But simply saving the world matrix and resetting it with the cameras SetWorldMatrix() method doesn't work. Can anybody help Thanks. Nico Thanks! Sounds complicated indeed. I hoped I could avoid modifying the camera classe ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Overprint, knockout or trapping in XPS?

  Just wondering out overprint/knockout would be handled in XPS. That is, black text with a cyan background might be overprinted to deal with registration problems. In PDF files, the text object has the attribute of whether it knocks out or overprints. I am not finding a similar setting in the XPS spec. Trapping is another issue, but does not need to be specified in the document. Knockout: by default, XPS uses the painters model, where existing pixels are replaced with pixels from the object rendered on top of it (at least for opaque content). That means, that for black text on top of any background the blac ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions AddNew issue with BindingNavigator

  Hi I'm using Visual Basic Express Edition 2005. I've created a simple form which contains several text boxes and combo boxes which are databound to a BindingSource. The form also contains a BindingNavigator which is linked to the same BindingSource. All of the form controls work correctly when navigating back and forth through the DataTable (linked to the BindingSource). Also, I am able to delete a record and this is correctly reflected back to the table. When I try to add a record, however, I encounter some strange behaviour. The record is added correctly in the database, but I am unable to navigate to the newly created record. Inter ...Show All
