• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Books on XBox 360 and XBox Live Development for eLearning?

  Hello, I'm sorry to be such a noob, but if you have children, please consider offering me some assistance. I'm studying what it would take to put a SCORM compliant Learning Management System like Moodle ( http://moodle.org ) on XBox Live with the goal of offering downloadable eLearning that would lead to "Achievements" in things like basic math, geography, and other academic topics, in an entertaining manner. Before I get started, I'd like to read a book on XBox 360 and XBox Live development and find out a few things. Can someone please recommend a good book on XBox 360 and XBox Live development, targeted at an inter ...Show All

• Visual C# Two clients, server and TCP

  Hi, I'm learning .NET Framework 2 so I've got an basci question. I'd like to write simple program to communicate between programs.

• Visual Studio How to copy VS2005 to another computer ?

  My ISP charges for incoming traffic, so I paid $30+ for downloading VS2005 express edition during the setup. Now I need to install it with same configuration to another computer in my LAN. Is there exist a way for doing that without redundant (and expensive) downloading of the huge binaries Thanks. You can try ordering a CD version of VB or C# express. Otherwise, they are only installable via the internet. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Cannot find disassembly and memory view windows

  I am trying to debug a low-level interop-related problem in a C# program. When doing this I want to be able to look at disassembly, and also look at memory contents. These functions are available in the disassembly window and the memory windows. I can enable these windows using the keyboard combinations (Ctrl-Alt-D or Ctrl-Alt-M, 1) My question is why are these windows not available on any menu or toolbar The documentation mentions that they should be available on the Debug > Windows submenu when the debugger is stopped at a breakpoint, but they are not.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) CustomControl woes

  I spent all day trying to get a very simple CustomControl working. All I wanted it to do was to display a Button. To do so, I followed the Case Study by Kevin Moore ( http://winfx.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/wcp_conceptual/html/ecb97ed4-e659-48a4-a1e0-893309569f2f.asp ) wherein he shows how to implement a Color Picker Control. At one point in the study there is the sentence : "For now we will just put in a TextBlock to make sure things are working correctly." ... I did exactly that (not even bothering with a Button). I built a Avalon Application to test the Control ... but lo, the TextBlock was not displayed. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista RPC errors when calling remote COM+ transactional server

  I'm getting a variety of RPC errors (800706bf & 800706ba mostly) when making a burst of simultaneous calls on a remote (transactional) COM+ application. The application is part of a small research project into the proper way to measure throughput, not a production application. The errors only happen when I make a number of simultaneous RPC calls. For example, one variant of the test driver creates a number of test threads, each with their own remote COM+ object, and, once all the test driver threads have a reference to their object, lets them all go to synchronise the start of the actual calls. I start getting RPC errors at about 50 c ...Show All

• SQL Server unique values query

  Hi, I have been asked to write some code that can check a large table for duplicate values in a non pk column. The table may have up to 1000000 rows. The PK column is an auto increment field. For performance reasons the column in question could not be set to unique values only for inserts, an algorithm is used to create unique no's before the insert but what I am doing is double checking that their have been no duplicates created accidently. If their are duplicates I need to know what rows they occurred on. Thanks One way select a.id,a.field1,a.field2 from ( select field1,field2 from table1 group by fiel ...Show All

• SQL Server Currency conversion wizard - performance

  We have created a cube in which we want to do many-to-many currency conversion - i.e. we have a measure group with amounts measured in 4 different currencies, and we want to be able to display these amounts in any of these 4 currencies. The measure group is linked to a company dimension which in turn is linked to a currency dimension via a referenced relationship (there are 3-4 more dimensions in the cube). Running the currency conversion wizard yields the expected results and we can show our measures in any available currency using the "Reporting Currency" dimension... However - it is SLOW! We realize that the calculations in the MDX script ...Show All
