• HKEC Are todays leading games build in VC++?

  Does anyone know if the 'big guys' use VC++ or Express to build their games If not, what do they use And why Established companies don't mind paying a few hundred dollars on compilers. Out of a total budget of maybe ten million dollars for a game that is almost nothing. Unfortunately that is prohibitive for the bedroom programmer. When I was a games programmer we used MSVC++ 6.0 and a gnu compiler. Virtually all games are written in either C or C++, with the occasional spot of assembly for very processor-intensive routines. There might also be a high-level scripting language for game logic. C is the language that programmers use to communicate with each other. For instance when Graphics Gems cam ...Show All

• webrod In SQL SERVER 2005 need database, before restore has done.

  Hi, Thanks for all supported till now . Today i face a new poblem. Actually i restored stsConfig database from backup. But now i need the same old stsConfig Database.

• ChandraP Create a UserControl

  I am following a tutorial on how to open a directory and show all the pictures inside as thumbnails. Below is the last paragraph so I thought, for my purposes, I would try to create a control so that I can use it in other programs in the future. I have now done everything I need, what I don't know is how to make it a dll so can someone show me how I compile it to a dll please You can use this control in any of your projects by adding the Thumbnail control source code to it. Alternatively you can create a UserControl project that contains the finished thumbnail control and compile it to a DLL. You may then either add the compiled user control to any of your projects as a reference or add it to your toolbox and use it in the Visual ...Show All

• William Bartholomew Detect event for Windows logout/shutdown

  Hi, I use VB2005 and i need to develop an application that start by itself when a user log in and launch a last command when the user log out or shutdown windows. To start the application it's ok and fine but i'm not able to find in any documentation how in a console application you can create a addhandler command that will be triggered when the user leave windows or shut it down ... Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, N. you may need to do some Win32/API invoking here as I don't think there is an eventhandler to detect if Windows is shutting down, the only one that *may* come close is the form_Closing event but this would fire everytime you close your application. in .NET 3. ...Show All

• Helen999888 Post-SP1 Install Issues

  Hello, I completed installation of Team Server SP1 yesterday on a single-server deployment using the Workgroup edition (5 user limit).

• ajay_dekavadiya There are no tables in DB after database tier installation of TFS

  I previously had a working installation of the TFS system, but was forced to rebuild the data tier, which wouldn't install with the old tables in the DB. To solve this I uninstalled everything from the data tier and began over from the begining. Everything goes well up until I install the database tier for TFS itself. The DT installs silently, as in no errors, but once it has run the DB looks the same as before, there are no new tables. I have tried adding the TFSSETUP account to DB admins and the same result occurs. This ultimately means the app tier can't find the DT installation on the specified machine. Why is the TFS install not creating the tables and is there another way to have them created or force the installer to try again ...Show All

• FedorSteeman Database addin ?

  I've heard some rumours that there is an addin for VSTS - SD which gives the Database editions functionality into the SD edition. Is there anything in this Basically - if one has a license for the SD edition, one often also needs the DE edition's functionality, instead of using 3rd party products, but the license price is way to high to do this. An add-in would be perfect..... Can anyone answer this I have a team of 12, most of whom need the Developer edition, but also could really benefit from some aspects of Database Professional. I don't want to get Team Suite for all of them, but really need a combination of Developer and Database. If there is any way to add in the database features to the Developer ...Show All

• JustPlayingAround It's one small step for you, one giant leap for me.

  My first User Control, would value any opinions on how I've done and was it worth it . It can be downloaded here.

In future, if I was going to release a Control for general use then, I will, as you suggest, include a demo and a Readme.
