• Visual Studio Team System Solution keeps losing SCC binding

  I have a solution with 11 projects, all bound to SCC paths.  The entire solution and all of the projects are in a single directory hierarchy, with the filesystem hierarchy exactly mirroring the SCC hierarchy and the solution/project hierarchy. Whenever I close VS and re-open it, the solution SCC bindings are lost.  I can go into the Change Source Control dialog, select the .sln file and click Bind and the binding is re-established, but ...Show All

Say, I perform a SQL query which either fails temporarily and I want to retry the activity later. Or the error is non-recoverable so I want to cancel/abort the workflow execution ( ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Are there any drawbacks to this?

  Hi again! I had this freaky idea earlier today where I decided to render my entire GUI to a texture and render this texture to the screen. This way, I don't have to go through my entire GUI rendering process every frame, which seems to double my framerate in GUI intensive situations. I only update this texture when when the GUI needs updating. I can't shake off this dodgy feeling that this can't be a good way to do things though. Is there ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Framework 2.0 question

  I appologize in advance if some of my  questions to the forum is a little out of place.

After installing .NET Framework 2.0, Direct X9.0c's Diagnostic shows that one of the two system.dll files is missing. The one that is listed belongs to 1.1, so logic dictates that it is the one for 2.0 that is missing. However it is in ...Show All
