I'm not sure why the decision to remove samples while not replacing them with something similar. The PointSprite sample was removed a while ago.  For those interested in particle systems in Direct3D, you might search the web.  A quick trip to my favorite search engine returned some possibilities: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/list.asp categoryid=72#225 http://www.codesampler.com/dx9src/dx9src_7.htm Note, howe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Cannot Access Free Registration Materials via Thank-You Emails

  Hi everyone. I'm trying to access the free downloads that come with registration, but I only see the Web Developer downloads listed. I don't see the icons, components, or book that come with C#. I assume they would all be listed on one page, but they aren't there. How can I find them Thanks, John Salerno P.S. I don't understand how to download what *is* there either. The link to the Web Developer book says it's a pdf, but when you download it, the file is an aspx file that won't do anything when opened in WD. When opened in an internet browser, it just tries to download itself again. Maybe the site will be updated and fixed tomorrow. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS extremely slow over internet

  hi. i have a setup with several local clients to the database and a remote client that is connectected over a 2mbit dsl line. now, i know that 2mbit isn't _that_ much, but is it really necessary for a 'get latest version' to take up to 20 minutes the ss database is only 10 mb in size... what options do we have in order to make this thing a little faster WM_THX thomas woelfer http://www.die.de/blog Hi, That comparison has been posted on this forum, too, but it seems that you have to read it "cum grano salis" http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=21541&SiteID=1 Alin ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista simulating workflows

  Hi We are a chemistry research company building solutions with Microsoft technology. We're interested in MS's Workflow framework. My specific question is: If you build a workflow with the workflow designer in VS 2005, can you run or debug the workflow (visually ) In other words, if my workflow is a document that flows from INPROCESS to READYFORSIGNATURE to SIGNED to COUNTERSIGNED to READYFORARCHIVE, will there be a way to "simulate" a real run of the workflow thru the workflow designer Thanks! If you want to display the path of execution you can do that by building on top of the tracking infrastructur ...Show All

• SQL Server Cube aggregations stop unexpectedly

  I am trying to design agreegations for all the partitions of my MOLAP cube. The aggregation calculation process starts but stops at 2% performance (about 20MB). I have tried to re-argregate so many times by selecting all the options :- Estimated Storage reaches (100 MB) / Performance gain reaches (30%)/ I click Stop But, in all these cases it just stops at 2%. I cannot understand why And its not one particular partition. Rather all the partitions (eight of them) stop at 2%. There is enough free hard disk space as well (27 gb) Any, clues could be of great help. Thanks. The problem is that no ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB.NET ISAPI Filter / IHTTPModule

  I am trying to create an ISAPI filter using VB.NET. (In IIS, right click a website, click properties, click the "ISAPI Filters Tab). Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree but this is what I want to do. I want to filter ALL requests to a website (including images, pdf, word docs, EVERYTHING) and then perform authintication on it. From what I have found, IHTTPModule is the way I want to go. I do not want to create an ISAPI Extension because I do not want to map extensions to the aspnet_isapi.dll because I do not know what extensions might exist. I have found a few example of the IHTTPModule but none tell me everything that I need to know l ...Show All

• Visual Studio Report Designer and Report Item

  Hi all I'm very new to Reporting Services in general. I have played with some samples and even successfully created my own custom Data Processing Extension.  Though with some troubles, I managed to published some reports to the Report Server using this Data Processing Extension. However, I wonder if I can reuse my extension when adding a Report Item in a non-Report project in VS 2005.  For example, I have a C# project and it uses the Report Server Web Service to publish rdl files to Report Server.  Now my question is how to generate such rdl files   I know there is a sample of how to programmatically generate rdl files.&n ...Show All
