• Visual Studio Team System Can a test belong to multiple Test Lists?

  Our project is getting to the point where there are so many tests, that we would like to organize them into groups. I attempted to use Test Lists to do this, and set up different batches of tests that would be run for different purposes. I would like a list for all unit tests, a list for unit tests relating to a specific functional area, a list for all integration tests, a list for all unit tests + all integration tests, etc. However, it appears to me that a test can only appear on one test list. Is this true If not how can I add a test to multiple lists Right now I am just selecting the All Loaded Tests in Test Manager, and dragging the test name to the target Test List on the left. Thanks, Dylan ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Can you have a camera without an effect?

  From what I can tell you HAVE to use an effect to setup the position of the camera; is this right Are there any XNA-centric examples of how the HLSL works and how to use it Jim.Welch wrote: I'm pretty sure you don't need to use an effect for a camera. Effects are just for drawing objects. A camera just defines your view and projection, etc. There's a couple camera examples in the help files and a few FX examples in the help files, also. Well, actually since they removed the methods from the graphics device to set the view and projection matrices you now need to set the camera via shaders. Objects generally are position via the World * View * Projection Matrix in the vertex shader. In XNA this can be acomplished using t ...Show All

• .NET Development Identifying Domain/Workgroup

  I need a way to identify on what domain or workgroup a particular computer belongs. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this I'm just identifying computers via the System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping class, so if there's maybe a more efficient system that's already implemented through the shell or something to view all the computers on the network and their shares that would be great and appreciated as well. ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating a Maintenance Plan via the Command Line

  Hello All, I've searched high and low for documentation on this to no avail. Basically my goal is to create a maintenance plan in SQLSERVER2005 via the command line. I need to create this plan in a way that it can be seen in the list of Maintenance Plans in the Management Studio Interface. I went into the SSIS designer and created my plan. I now have a DTSX file. I tried the dtutil.exe utility, however i never saw my maintenance plan in the list of plans. I ran dtutil.exe and did /FILE to /SQL but i don't see the plan listed or in a way a user could modify it, which is of the utmost importance to my clients. How do i get my file to turn into a real running Maintenance Plan that is seen in the list of Maintenance Plans via the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problems implementing a skybox

  Perhaps somebody with more experience could help me. I want to implement the skybox example from the DirectX SDK (Samples/C++/Direct3D/StateManager) and I've copied and renamed the following files (skybox01.x, skybox02.dds and skybox03.fx) to my project folder and have added them to the content pipeline. But I don't get it managed to load the skybox with her texture and set the camera to the center of the box, I think because I don't know how to handle the effects of the *.fx file and how to transform the box correct. (I'm new to XNA and I only have tried out the simple 3D examples with BasicEffects from the help files so far.) So if somebody has the time to show me how to handle these files correctly, I would be very glad. (You c ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to avoid rebuilding

  Hi, I have a header file which is included by some fifty odd files..If i even make a small change as adding a comment to the header file a rebuild is taking place.. Will the pch file resolve this issue..by including that header file in stdafx.h Please help me on this.. Thanks & Regards, AFAIK if you change teh header file, it means that, there are some changes in specific definitions. Unfortunately C++ compiler is not that much smart to handle changed areas . if you change header file, and if you include it somewhere else, that file will also will be part of compilation. else your change will be void. The changes are made in the stdafx, most of the cpp file will recompiled because precompiled header are used by most of the CPP fi ...Show All
