• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Compiling Errors in FX?

  I came to an error when compiling. And the error is an internal error in the fx file.The error description is like this: "d:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\SDK 9.5\MEDIA\programs\HLSL_VideoFilter\VideoFilter.fx(618,2): internal error: invalid access of unbound variable" And the error code lies here: texColor0 = tex2D( YUVSampler, VSOUT.TexCoord0 ); Later I compiled .fx file in FX composer, it's just ok. Can anyone tell me where this internal error comes It doesn't sound right that you should be seeing an internal error. Which SDK are you using fxc is one of the components that was changed regularly through the bimonthly releases. If you're using an older compiler it could be a good idea to verify ...Show All

• .NET Development Support for E4X anytime soon?

  Is support for E4X coming to JScript anytime soon I'm guessing no since 2.0 of the framework is about to roll out and it's not in there yet. Well honestly it's more important that it makes it into the ActiveScripting JScript engine, because it would be more useful on the client side. As for JScript.NET I'd see it as a rival to the C-Omega research language's native support for XML. The obvious benefits are support for XML concepts as first class datatypes in the language. Supporting E4X would make it a perfect language choice for writing web services on the .NET platform for example. ...Show All

• SQL Server attribute relationship modelling by BIDS

  Hi, litle question about modelling attribute relationships on dimensions with >=50 Attributes As far as I know it is only possible in the treeview of BIDS to model attribute relationships, but what if I have already 50 Attributes and want to drag an attribute to an attribute thats already as much down that i cannot see it - if you drag an attribute the view does not scroll down like excel or some other appliation while you are at the boarder of the view. Is there any other way do add some attribute relationships (not code, not programming) Hannes You can right click on an attribute in the tree view and then choose "copy". Then you can go down to the attribute that you want to relate the first attribute to and ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot see SQL Server 2005 Services in SQL Server Configuration Manager

  I cannot see any services within "SQL Server 2005 Services" in SQL Server Configuration Manager. I am new to SQL Server 2005 and recently installed all of the SQL Server 2005 64-bit components on to a Windows 2003 64-bit server. I can create and view databases via SQL Server Management Studio. I can also start and stop the SQL Server service for the default instance via SQL Server Management Studio. But I should be able to start/stop the service via SQL Server Configuration Manager and I believe I'm supposed to use SQL Server Configuration Manager to make changes to the services. I'm concerned that something may have become corrupted and is effected the SQL Server Configuration Manager. Any suggestions Thanks in advance, ...Show All

• SQL Server Who's the idiot that designed the file destination?

  It's funny: Everyone thinks that CSVs are awesome to transport data. I mean after all, SSIS defaults to Comma Delimited files. Even Excel defaults to it. Microsoft is supposed to be our leader! They should get this right. And get the terminology correct too. How many people describe the file as comma separated It's delimited! Even SQL server calls it delimited by the "delimited" drop down. CSVs suck and i will tell you why: When you transport any text field (especially Address) it has the possibility of containing a comma. This causes data to be parsed into the wrong fields. Why in God's grace would you EVER get in the habit of choosing a delimiter that SOMETIMES doesn't work I'll tell you a little short story: I hav ...Show All

• SQL Server What permissions to give Cluster account in SQL

  Hey guys. I'll have an active/active cluster and seperate accounts for SQL Services and Cluster service. The question is what rights should the cluster account have in SQL if I've removed the 'builtin admins' from SQL Thank you The cluster account must be in a domain group, which will automatically have previlege of "builtin admins". This is due to a security problem as "builtin admins" still not strong enough to protect cluster services. See BOL for more details. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Work with a file without adding it to current project

  Work with a file without adding it to current project I used to work with temporary files, under VStudio 2003, without having to add them to my project, by using Ctrl + N. Now, when I do that in VStudio 2005, the file is added to my project. How can I achieve the same behavior as in 2003 Thanks in advance for the help, Jelgab PS: I can later delete the file but, that causes confusion because it registers a change under source control and checks out the project. Thank you. In this case, I need this feature, to work with new files. For example: I copy XML contents from another source, to the clipboard, and want to paste it in a new file, and work with it from within my workspace. I also do that with HTML, Text, XSL, etc. Fo ...Show All
