• Visual Studio Internet Connection in VS 2005

• Visual Studio Team System Connecting to Foundation Server

  Strange situation....I'm the only one in my organization that can not connect. I'm getting the standard generic message that says teh server may be unavailable or my password has expired.

Any ideas about what might be causing this Hi, Can you check that you have ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Making an app look like a Windows XP app

  I am currently porting a VB5 app to VB2K5. I have installed VB2K5EE at home. I am trying to do the basic menu/toolbar. The trouble is that I can't seem to make those two look like regular Windows XP menu/toolbar. I.E. I look at the MSPaint and Wordpad menus and I can't make the menus in VB2K5 look and act the same. I can select System in the RenderMode property but it looks like a default Windows XP menu bar but acts like a Office2K3 menu. What am I missing I tried adjusting the padding property. But that didn't help much. - Ronald Here are a couple of pics to better explain the problem. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Converting a ray into object space

  Hello, I have been stuck on trying to convert a ray into object space, for simple collision detection, I have tried multiplying the coordinates of the ray with the objects inverse matrix ( x = x*_11 + y*_12 + z*_13, y = etc..) but that does not seem to work. There should not be any problems with detecting the collision as I am usuing the D3DXIntersect() function with this ray and the objects mesh. The current code I am using is: D3DXVECTOR3 vPos = pGlobal_Game->pData->objData[iID].Pos3d - pGlobal_Game->pData->objData .Pos3d , vDirPos = pos3d - pGlobal_Game->pData->objData .Pos3d, vDir; iID being for the object th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Changing the Cursor

  How do i change the cursor to an hour glass Another way to do this is to use the UseWaitCursor property of the parent control.  My guess is that using a Wait cursor was a common enough action that MS implemented this property to make the process a little easier to code.  - Mitchell S.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) A performance hint for working with XXXCollection classes

  So I have been doing some 3D work that meshes whose Position and Normal collections are rapidly changing. I have been finding that I can either allocate new Position and Normal collections each frame, thus incurring a huge memory allocation overhead, or I can try to re-use the collections, which incurs a huge overhead firing off Changed events for every new item I change. Having looked in vain for a BeginUpdate/EndUpdate type of pattern that applies to these classes, I stumbled upon a technique that seems to create something like it. Consider the following code: mesh.Positions.Clear(); for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) mesh.P ...Show All

• SQL Server XSD: Reading string in ROOT of XML

I have chosen to do this via a XSD file, but I have a problem with the ROOT file of the XML XML: <Dogs bulkmode="0" xmlns=" http://scheme01.isp.com ">   <UnderDogs>     ...   </UnderDogs> </Dogs> XSD: <xsd:element name="Dogs bulkmode="0" xmlns=" http://scheme01.isp.com "" sql:is-constant="1"> Unfortunately this does not work. If I (for testing) changes the first line of the XML to <Dogs>, (and corrects the XSD) it works like a charm.  It is not an option to change the XML file, so somehow I need to make the changes within my XSD ...Show All
