• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Lost Device

  I'm using managed directx 2.0 and the sample framework and there's a couple of things that i cannot understand concerning lost devices. My main problem is, where should i put the creation of objects. For instance in the sample framework a sprite is created in OnResetDevice, my question is why in here and not in OnCreateDevice When should i create resources with Pool.Default And when i'm using directx objects how could i know where i put the creation call It's on the OnCreateDevice or on the OnResetDevice This is very confuse, and there's no documentation ( i have not found none ) that answers my questions. Tnks for any help ...Show All

• Visual Studio Applying a stylesheet to a report

  I am having trouble getting my reports to pick up the styles in my stylesheet. I have tried setting the stylesheet class to an object on the report and linking the stylesheet in the html on the aspx page which has the reports viewer control on it. I have even tried writing the style straight in the html page instead of linking it from a stylesheet but it makes no difference. When the report is run, looking at the source, it seems to automatically create it's own styles, I can only assume these are based on the setting for each object in the report (which you can't set to nothing, all font properties have to have a value). Here is a cut d ...Show All

• .NET Development Socket, detect message boundaries for objects - working code?

  Hi, I'm stuck with a problem that is bugging me for days. I'm custom serializing objects and sending them across async TCP sockets. However, I have a problem deserializing messages when the receive is split up in different packet sizes and I just can't figure out how to get it right. The problem is, that all works fine for a couple messages but then the header size is read incorrectly (I'm sending a header for each messages that tells the length of the incoming message so I can detect the message boundary): 2005-11-21 16:13:12.0468|INFO|Test.Server.ClientCommunicator.Server|Received connection from: 127.0.0.1:1990 2005-11-21 16:13:12.109 ...Show All

• SQL Server Last() Function?

  Greetings, I'm having some trouble to create a report. In this report I'm supposed to get the last row for each group of customers, ordered by date. Let me explain you a bit further using an example: The table contains these fields, amongst others: CustomerID, Car, LastVisit. So, for each customer there are many rows, each one with a different value in LastVisit. What I need to get, and before I started it looked quite easy, is a recordset with the last visit of each customer, given a specific car. For example, the last visit of each customer that has a Ford. Now, I think there's a function LAST() in Access that act ...Show All

• Visual Basic Decent Source Code Site - Visual Basic 2005

  Hi, Want to know if there are any decent Visual Basic 2005 source code sites available yet. Have lookt all over and can only find vb.net (which the conversion does not always do correctly) and allot of vb6 code. I have found that no matter how may tutorials you read and how many books you get none of them cover what you want to to cover. What exactly is it you want to cover Almost all .NET 2003 books are valid for 2005. The only real differences are in the .NET framework objects - there's a few new really useful ones (in .net 2.0), but all the techniques are the same. a couple of books I like are Visual Basic .NET pro ...Show All

• SQL Server Logging MDX queries in AS 2005.

  Hi, I was using the connection string property DBPROP_MSMD_LOG_FILE for getting MDX queries in a log file in AS 2000. But, it looks like this property has been dropped in AS 2005. Is there any alternate approach for achieving the same functionality in AS 2005 programatically Thanks in advance, Santosh. In AS2005 you have way more poweful and robust way to look at any activity happening in your server. Now you can use SQL Server profiler to connect to Analysis Server and see any MDX, or XMLA command executed against your server. Programmatically you can use AMO to subscribe to the trace events. Take a look at the AM ...Show All
