• SQL Server Problems saving edited Functions in SQL server database using Visual Studio .Net 2003

  I'm fairly new to using SQL Server - can anyone recommend the best tools for creating/editing/debugging Stored Procedures/Functions on SQL server 2000 SP3. I've tried using Visual Studio .Net 2003, but there are problems just trying to save edited Functions in the SQL server database. The database (upsized from Access2003) is on SQL Server SP3, which is running on the same computer as VS2003. Using VS2003 Server Explorer, scalar-valued functions can be created in the VS2003 code and text editor. But then further edits can be saved once or twice only: after that, further attempts to save the edited function resul ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rendering Skeletal Animation

  I'm looking for a sample that shows how to properly render skeletal animation using C# and MDX without using the framework. I've tried the sample from Tom Miller's Managed DirectX Kick Start book, but I've come across a couple problems that I can't figure out. When the program runs it creates a reference device and renders the Tiny.x animation, but the model doesn't seem to be textured; it's all silvery. The SimpleAnimation sample that came with the SDK works properly, so I tried looking for any differences between the two that might cause the problem, but I wasn't able to find anything. I don't know if it's related, but I noticed t ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How does EntitySet<> implement multiple remote queries while entity tracking service discards all the already fetched entities?

  A nice feature in Dlinq overview doc, EntitySet<T> implements IQueryable<T> interface, and executes queries remotely when not loaded. Query results reflect entities' current states in db. Question: Entity tracking service ensures there will be only one specific entity in one DataContext; new entities will be discarded if already retrieved. How could be During the materialization of entities after a query is executed, we check the cache by key to see if the entity has already been loaded. If so, it is used. Does that answer your question ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Why this limitation in C#express

  Here is a problem with my C# express installation.(RTM). With the previous version it was possible to connect to the SQL Server Express specifing a server and a database(add connection). Now it is only possible through "AttachDBFileName". So I cannot connect to the SQLEXPRESS if I don't specify "Database file name(.mdf file)". Is that correct In the VWD it is possible Why this limitation in C#express In the "Change Data Source" dialog, there are only two Data sources: "Microsoft Access Database file" and "Microsoft SQL Server Database file", NOT "Microsoft SQL Server".

• Windows Forms Possible Bug of the TableLayoutPanel?

  Try this to duplicate the possible bug: 1. Drag a tablelayoutpanel on a form inside the VS 2005 IDE. 2. Make it two rows and two columns. 3. Put a textbox in the seond column on the seond row 4. Set the textbox's columnspan = 2. Since the default grow behavior of the tablelayoutpanel is to add rows, our textbox will now move to the newly-added row to occupy two columns. Everything is fine, right But wait, we cannot drag our textbox to anywhere any more. No matter how hard you try, the textbox will stay in the newly-added row.  This behavior seems not right to me. Is this by design Could you please che ...Show All

• Visual C++ Draft: How to rebuild the 8.0 CRT Library for use on NT 4.0 SP6

  DRAFT 0.2 - comments welcome  HOW TO REBUILD THE 8.0 CRT LIBRARY FOR USE ON NT 4.0 SP6 The shipping 8.0 C Runtime Library DLL (MSVCR80.DLL) does not support NT 4.0 SP6 for one reason and one reason only: someone at Microsoft added a function call to GetLongPathNameW which does not exist in kernel32.dll on NT 4.0.  You cannot delayload the CRT, therefore there's no way around it.  In order to run on NT 4.0, you must rebuild the MSVCR80.DLL to remove this reference.   Fortunately, very little work needs to be done to rebuild the 8.0 C Runtime Library DLL to support NT 4.0 SP6.  First, let's identify th ...Show All
