• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I have some artifacts with fog

  When I use Exp or Exp2 fog in vertex mode I have a strange effect with big triangles when I rotate the camera. I concluded that the fog calculations are wrong. When I use Linear fog all is ok. Small triangles also looks as they must. Do you have some ideas what is the problem Do you have range fog enabled It sounds like when you're using linear fog you're getting range fog, but when you using exponential fog you're not. Without range-based fog enabled the amount of fogging depends on the distance between the vertex and the near clip plane, while with range-based fog it depends on the distance from the viewpoint. If you don't use ra ...Show All

  What do I do about when Type.GetType fails for types like System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElement   I have created an addin that I want to be able to see what are the attributes for a given class but it is failing on this one all the time.  If I need to load the assembly first how do I look at references for a ProjectItem so I can load the assembly if needed before calling GetType Yes, if GetType returns null you need to then load the assembly.  If you are implementing an MSBuild task you can access references from build engine API's.  If you are outside of MSBUild runtime then you need to process the project file yours ...Show All

• SQL Server Measures that depends on other measures

  I want to have a measure that depends on other measures so have I understood it correctly if I sum up my options like this: A) I can make a calculation where I can basically do anything but it gets evaluated every time at querytime. This calculation can either be per query (using with member), per session (create member) or intrinsic to the cube (under calculations) but in each case it's still evaluated at querytime. B) I can create my dependent measure and set it's measureexpression. This way the answer is permanently stored in the cube but I can only use simple binary exps like MeasureA*MeasureB C) I can create my measure with som ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to load input files on Emulator

  I am trying to build a simple test app that loads a text file via the SmartPhone 2003 SE Emulator, however I can't figure out where to store my input files on the desktop so that the Emulator can see them. Any help appreciated. The directions were for VS2005 DE for configuration of the running instance of the emulator. There are three emulator configurations that exist - global, local saved and instance. The Global configuration is what you set under Tools\Options\Device Tools\Pick Platform\Properties\Emulator Options. The global configuration will be applied to an emulator if there is no local saved state. If you have created a local s ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem with OleDb...or sqlserver...

  Hi, The reason i am positng this is because i am having an error using SQL SERVER 2000 with OleDb on .Net 2005. This is the situation: 1. Database running on a server. 2. Two clients connect. 3. There's a table that represents a tree like this: -------------------- GROUP groupID parentgroupID Name -------------------- 4. Both clients access the tree. One of them deletes a group and commits. 5. The other client, without having the updated tree, drags a node below the deleted node (this will cause the selected group's parentgroupID to map the new parent node) and UPDATEs the node. This ...Show All

• .NET Development How do I return typed datasets from a web service (.NET 2.0) which will appear in the 'data sources' pane of a Windows progr

  I am using .NET 2005. I have created a web service which I have added as a 'web reference' to a Windows program because I want it to consume the data from the web service. All of the Microsoft documentation tells me that if I return typed datasets from a web service then the datasets will appear in the 'data sources' pane of the Windows program (also .NET 2005) and I can use the data as if it was dealing with local data. However I cannot find anywhere in any documentation, the way of defining the methods in the web service to achieve this. I have created a typed dataset in the web service (using the 'dataset' design surface with a table ...Show All
