• Visual C# Previewing images (64*64) control....

  I like to preview some Image objects in 64*64 format in some kind of control. Is there any .NET control for that. I only find the ListView control but with that I only can preview pictures in 16*16 format and that is to small for me… You can use a PictureBox control with a size of 64x64 and the SizeMode set to PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage or PictureBoxSizeMode.Zoom . Or you extend an existing control or you create your own. A control you can use can be found on code project, Using thumbnail images in a list control .

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Surfaces vs Textures

  I have Cube Texture and i use it for env mapping, and i wanna draw cube object (env) with this texture. i use IDirect3DCubeTexture9:: GetCubeMapSurface but i cant set this surface to render ( IDirect3DDevice9:: SetTexture  or  ID3DXEffect:: SetTexture ) because it need IDirect3DBaseTexture9 interface. How convert IDirect3DSurface9 to  IDirect3DBaseTexture9 without any copying of texture data or duplicate textures last I knew, the difference in performance between tex2D and texCUBE is negligible on current parts, and the extra manual math to fake it definitely eats more cycles. texCUBE can be p ...Show All

• Visual Basic Adding a Project Reference causes Form icons to change to Class icons

  Hi all, I'm having a problem with VS 2003. I have a solution containing approximately 8 projects, most of them are class libraries with various layers such as data, business and UI adapters. I've just encountered a problem whereby when I add a reference to a class library containing a base class which is inherited elsewhere the icons for the forms contained in the solution change to normal class icons and I can no longer access the forms through the visual designer. Any idea what could be causing this Regards, Cathal Hi Cathal, We determine the file to be a designer file based on an attribute ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem running package with 'larger' amount of data

  Dear, I created a package getting data from files and database sources, doing some transformations, retrieving dimension id's and then inserting it into a fact table. Running this package with a limited amount of data (about a couple of 100.000 records) does not result in any errors and everything goes fine. Now running the same package (still in debug mode) with more data (about 2.000.000 rows) doesn't result in any errors as well, but it just stops running. In fact, it doesn't really stop, but it doesn't continue as well. If I've only been waiting for some minutes or hours, I could think it's still processing, but I waited for abo ...Show All
