• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How do I Develop a WCF Service on OS WinXP SP2 with VS 2005 Installed

  Hi, I truied to develop a WCF service on Win XP SP2 with VS 2005. I had also installed the WinFX runtime prior to starting my development. Now I am stuck as I am not able to find System.ServiceModel.dll. What should I do I don't want to install Windows Vista. Is there any workaround Thanks, Akhil Hi You don't need Vista to use WinFX, windows xp is good enough.

  I'm working on the terrain rendering technique which involves displacement mapping. I have a couple of textures that are, logically, the mip-map of the terrain. Now, I have to update them all, from the biggest to the smallest, and to do so I do the following: device->GetRenderTarget(0, &oldRT); device->GetDepthStencilSurface(&oldDSS); device->BeginScene(); for (i = 0; i < levels - 1; i++) { // // Set the current texture as displacement map device->SetTexture(D3DVERTEXSAMPLER0, level .displacement); // // Set the next texture as render target and the depth surface as NULL device->SetRenderTarget(0, level[i + 1].disp ...Show All

• Visual J# Problem with subclassing a form AND J# interface in C# 2.0

• Visual Studio Random behaviour with ITaskItem[]

  I have a target that I pass an ItemGroup to. I then call a task that takes this ItemGroup as a parameter and a ITaskItem as another parameter. Sometimes, if I pass an ITaskItem[] to the ITaskItem parameter, MSBuild is clever enough to realise that I want the task called once for each item in the ItemGroup. Most of the time, however, I get this error: Multiple items cannot be passed into a parameter of type "Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITaskItem" Anyone any ideas why this behaviour would be so random Okay, it appears to be related to transforms and the Outputs parameter.
