• 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

• Smart Device Development Signed SQLCE and CF Cab files for 1.0

  I am trying to install a 1.0 application on Windows Mobile 5 device. The problem is the cab files for SQLCE and CF 1.0 are unsigned, so these don't get installed after extraction from my signed cab file container. Is there a way out or are the signed cabs available. You don't need signed NETCF V1 CAB for WM 5.0 as WM 5.0 already has lasted NETCF V1 in ROM (SP3). There's no signed SQL CE 2.0 CAB as it was released prior to WM 5.0. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual C++ SDL Open GL application

  Hi, I have a Visual C++ SDL Open GL application, and I can built it in Release mode.  Now I can run it on my own computer, but my friends are not able to run it.  It complains with a message box saying that the application configuration is incorrect.  Its not missing the DLLs because then it would say so, and I have placed the needed DLLs in the directory.  I think the problem is the way my application is configured in building, or my friends are missing something that I have because of my development environment.

  When a mouse moves over a button I want to be able to have a label appear. When I right click the right mouse I should have a menu list of choices which appear and can be selected from.

• Windows Forms DataGridView - Binding to object & sorting

  Hi, I'm trying to bind my Windows Forms Data Grid View to a list of business objects. Trouble is when I do this none of the columns are sortable despite setting the sort mode to Automatic. I've tried a variety of things to get automatic sorting working with no luck. How is it done Cheers When the DataGridView is databound it asks the datasource if it supports sorting and only enables sorting on the columns if it does. When binding to business objects through a BindingSource the BindingSource does not implement sorting, so the DataGridView does not enable sorting. Check out this article for more information on adding sorti ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting Permissions using Management Studio

  We're beginning to use Management Studio with some of our SQL Server 2000 databases and are having difficulty viewing and assigning permissions on objects to roles &/or users. Even though permissions currently exist they do not appear in the "securables" tab on the properties page. In order to view the various permissions you must first manually select all of the objects and they will then appear. Is there some way to get Management Studio to automatically display the objects that currently have permissions setup for the particular role or user Basically, I'm looking for the same functionality as the permissions button gave fr ...Show All
