• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectInput and Mouse Acceleration

  I am using the Managed Direct Input library to gather mouse input for a graphical research app.  However, my testing shows that the application is affected by mouse acceleration despite using the Direct Input API. My understanding was that only driver level acceleration could affect the Direct Input data, but if I test some of the samples that ship with the DirectX SDK I don't see the same problem.  T ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem adding Annotations to KPIs

  I'm trying to add an annotation to a Kpi object in AMO. I'm starting with just the simplest thing: kpi.Annotations.Add("AnnoName", "AnnoValue"); The KPI validates, and cube.Update doesn't report any errors. But when I try to read back the KPI later, the annotations collection is empty. I profiled the XML/A sent as part of the Update, and the KPI definition included the annotation there. But the annotation never seems to be sa ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamic loading of a file

  I've been told by Kirk that it is possible to load a file whose metadata is unknown at design-time by using bulk insert along with a file (not a flat file) connection. He didn't elaborate though. Can anyone explain -Jamie Jamie, Bulk loading to several different tables with known metadata is simple. I don't know how one could load to a table with completely unknown metadata. The file connection works fine with the bulk insert task. If I r ...Show All

• Visual C# Unloading an Assembly

  Hello, I read in one of the Blogs that an Assembly cannot be unloaded. It has to be loaded into a AppDomain and then unloaded. I have tried that. Take a look at the following code.

• Visual Studio Team System Test Case ID

  I'm playing with some code in the TIP, specifically in the MergeResults() method, but I'm confused by the behavior of the TestElement.Id. I'm monitoring this Id as it comes through MergeResults() by calling resultFromWire.Test.Id, but the value changes everytime I run the test. I was expecting that GUID to be the same everytime for the same test. This seems more like a a TestRun Id in practice than a TestElement.Id. I'm running the same test ...Show All
