• SQL Server Placement of sys.conversation_endpoints and sys.transmission_queue

  Is there any thought going into moving these two tables to a file group that we can control Putting this in Primary with the rest of my system tables is quite problematic, and hinders my ability to manage space usage on my files. Traditionally, we didn't have to consider a primary file group that could grow to large proportions, but now with these two tables it can. If a large volume of messages gets sent through and the system can't keep up, then these tables and my primary file group will grow sometimes enormously.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Texture creation fails on XBox 360

  Can someone tell me why the following piece of code won't work on the XBox 360 I don't have an XBox 360 myself (and it will be at least 6 more months before I plan to afford one), so I can't test this at home. If anyone could tell me what's needed to make this snippet working, I'd be very happy :) // Look up the maximum texture size supported by the device Point textureResolution = new Point ( graphicsDevice.GraphicsDeviceCapabilities.MaxTextureWidth, graphicsDevice.GraphicsDeviceCapabilities.MaxTextureHeight ); // No larger than 1024 to avoid becoming a memory hog on systems // supporting insanely large textures :) textureResolution.X = Math .Min(textureResolution.X, 1024); textureResolution.Y = Math .Min(textureResolution.Y, 102 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can we have private constructor? when can I use them?

  i thin you can!!! This is used to mange the number of instances of the object the users can create.This is also known as the Singleton pattern . In singleton pattern you declare the constructor as private and instantiate it from a static method within you class. Please see the example below: public sealed class MySingleton { static MySingleton instance = null; private MySingleton() { } public static MySingleton ClassInstance() { get { if (instance = = null) { instance = new MySingleton(); } return instance; } } } Yeah, of course. But the correct way to write the accessor is public sealed class MySingleton { static MySingleton instance = null; private MySingleton() { } public static MySingleton ClassInstance ...Show All

• .NET Development Tooltip bug?

  Vb.NET 2005 I create a tooltip control in a form and enter some tooltip texts for another control. When hoovering the mouse all seems fine, the tooltip appears etc... However after a few seconds it disappears. Annoying to the user, but then comes the real annoying thing: It won't reappear again until you restart the program (or have multiple controls and hoover another control then back to the first again). This can't possibly be the desired behaviour I tried setting AutoPopDelay to something high but the docs says 5000 (ms) is the max. Help I agree, it is annoying that moving away from the control and then coming back doesn't reshow the tool-tip. You should be able to get the tool-tip to display ...Show All

  I am reading the "Next-Generation Data Access" paper. I noted : " Security —we will want to build out security services at the entity level.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) visualstyles for WPF window in xp

  Hi, I am using .Net 3.0 RC1 on XP. I found that WPF window applications are not using any kind of visualstyles. How do I enable it In .Net 2.0, we are using Application.EnableVisualStyles(), is there any equivalent in .Net 3.0 Yes it will make the app software-rendered on Windows XP. Jan-Cornelius Molnar has a way of getting around this . His way can also make the corners rounded, and keeps the HW-Acc intact. But the rounded corners are rendered by gdi( ), not wpf, which doesn’t make them as attractive. Here’s an image of the two different techniques The top window is using Alex technique and is not hardware accelerated, and the back window is using Molnars technique and is accelerated. ...Show All
