• Visual C# .ngen problem

  Anybody know what everything i need to do for regenerate managed .exe file to native .exe file Because i tried to convert some easy program (managed) with ngen.exe (fw1.1 and fw 2.0), and no one works. Why Help. Thanx Well you should still start the old executable, not directly run the one in the native image cache. The runtime will handle the rest. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Network Timeout 2005 VS Beta DE

  I successfully connect to the Internet using 2005 VS beta DE, however, if left idle, the DE appears to disconnect and can no longer navigate to different websites.  I poked around the registry and found the setting: hklm\comm\parms\allowsuspend set to 1 vs. the default listed on msdn as 0.  Should this setting be set to 0 to disable suspend   Is there any other reason why a connected DE might suspend/disable network connectivity   Thanks for the help Well, I have followed the instructions re: using a global saved state with no network, however, when resuming [using the saved-state (guid={C ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build - Security

  Hi, we would like to implement multiple team-build types, but only certain users must be allowed to execute certain team-builds. I have not found a way to ristrict which users may execute a specific team-build. Will this be an RTM feature - or must we use alternatives for all restricted Team-Build functionalities ie. a scenario would be deploying to a staging area - which causes different version-numbering to be applied. this may only be done my project-managers or team-leaders. TB would be perfect for it, but the rights-management is desperatly needed for it! ...Show All

• SQL Server Export Schema and Data

  This is a totally newbie question, but... I've create a database, I'm able to script the schema to a query window, file, etc. I can't for the life of me find out how to export my data so that it is scripted into insert statements. The data is standardized lists of data I will be distributing with the DB. For those of you familiar with mySQL, this would be the output of the mysqldump command which dumps schema and data all into one file mysqldumb <db> -u user -p > mydatafile.txt thanks, -David You won't be able to export it to INSERT statements, but it can be exported to a flatfile ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Disable FSAA for some primitives each frame? (disable it temporarily)

  If I set my device to use 4x FSAA for example, can I temporarily disable it when rendering primitves or somehow make primitives that isn't affected by the FSAA I have a graphical user interface that render text and quads with point filtering, that way making it "pixel perfect". Much like blitting a sprite but I'm using triangles instead. However this method breaks miserably when I add antialiasing, since the pixel precision is lost and it looks horrible. I would like to render the GUI and text triangles without FSAA and terrain / player / whatever else with FSAA enabled... I'm using MDX if that matters. Any help / ideas are appreci ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Running access sql code with VB

  Hi, I have some SQL code that used to run on an access file writing data from a table to another table. I need to run the same code on some computers without Access but with access mdb files and I thought VB Express Edition would be a good tool. The only thing the program needs to do is to execute the previous code when a button of it would be pressed, but I don't know how to do it, so I need your help! Thanks hi, yes you can do that but that will require other software to run on the computers to connect to the access database (i.e. odbc) imports system.data imports system.data.ole ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Page hits in DX

  Hey everyone I’ve been experiencing some severe framerate drops that seem to stem from DX. I built a real simple embedded profiler and started debugging the app to see where these “spikes” were coming from. I wrapped all DX calls within the profiler and sure enough I noticed right away that the spikes were originating from the DX calls. I started up DX Pix to see if that would tell me anything and sure enough I was seeing the drop in framerate in Pix as well, but I also noticed that the drop in framerate also correlated to an increase in page hits. Timing on these page hits seem to appear once every full second. The primary m ...Show All
