• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Tiling a texture?

  Hey, I have a 3d terrain system. The terrain is built using a heightmap image. Then I have a large texture that I paste over the top, this covers the complete terrain. I'd like to be able to dispose of the one large terrain texture image and use tiling and different layers for different tiles. (Texture splattering, I think this is called). However, for now I'll be happy with just tiling my grass texture over the top of my terrain instead of it automatically scaling. Can anyone point me in the right direction to repeat and tile my texture rather than stretch to fit Thanks Ah, ok, thats very strange its as if your AddressU and AddressV states are set to Clamp, but I can clearly see you have ...Show All

• Visual Basic VS 2005 - Reading XML config file

  My solution consists of a Windows Library (that creates a DLL), an EXE that is the Windows Service and a Setup project for deployment. The Windows Service references the DLL project. Everything is installed and deployed. 1. When I run the service, my code needs the current directory of my installed windows service application and library (c:\Program Files\Perf\PerfService in this case) but when I use the following code: path = My .Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory It returns : C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 How do I get where my DLL and EXE are installed 2. I am using a My.Settings config file (app.config) to store application settings for the DLL. How do I include this in my Setup project so that I can manually change settin ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development PEP CPU Utilization

  I'm finding myself unable to achieve 100% utilization on all threads of the PEP (pepworker.exe). I have created our own in house PEP manager to facilitate the current process of executing pepworker.exe on all the workers and it is pretty elegant. Further, I'm taking snapshots every second of the CPU utilization, RAM usage and any swap in use. The following link is a snapshot of the workers: http://img465.imageshack.us/img465/8909/vc1cpusfi9.jpg I must ask though, is everyone else's results similar to mine Is anyone pegging their VC-1 workers ...Show All

• SQL Server Table Column Default

  Hello all, I have a table with a column: ThruDate datetime not null I have a function call set up as default for the col ([dbo].[fn_DateHigh_Get1]()) I have a stored procedure that inserts into the table - it expects @ThruDate as a parm. I default the parm to NULL - When the sp executes its insert stmt i get error 515 (null cannot be inserted....). When i just enter the row manually in enterprise manger (and just tab through the ThruDate col) all is well - ThruDate gets the default as calculated by function [dbo].[fn_DateHigh_Get1]() Why does the sp fail - i.e. why isn't the default applied thanks Hi, Let us understand correctly: 1. You have a default value on your ThruDate in the table as being ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Publish to CD -> Adverts??

  I'm using Visual C# Express Edition 2005... About 1 in 5 times when I publish to a folder... Firefox launches as normal with links to the published files... but 3 other tabs are opened with pages from Merge Records, Caphyon Installer, and Google Mail... I've tried a Lavasoft Adaware scan, and Spybot S&D but nothing was highlighted. Does VC# EE 2005 have some kind of advertising feature built in, or is this some type of adware thanks in advance, Pete. For the benefit of others with Firefox as the default browser, these are the conditions that cause the problem....

• Visual Basic Checkbox value in datagrid

  Hi every one. I am working on a web form which allows people to tick on a specific item they would like to reserve. I have a datagrid which contains 5 data fields. It also contains a template colunm which contains the checkbox. (The sixth colunm) The problems is no matter user tick on the check box or not, the checkbox value remain the same.

• SQL Server Who has updated cube's schema?

  Hi, How to obtaine information, who has updated the scheme I can do like this (I am using AMO) Cube.DataSource.ImpersonationInfo.Account But this is only information for data source Thanks! Indirectly means by using additional tools. For example, if you keep the full trace of what was happening on the server, you can analyze it and find out exactly who did what etc. It would be non-trivial task to automate it, but for manual verifications it should be OK. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CA1062 Validate arguments of public methods

  I'm encountering this warning in a number of places in my code and I notice that simply checking the argument for null and handling it appropriately doesnt make this warning go away. Looks like the code analyser is not satisfied unless we throw an ArgumentNullException. E.g., the following code is safe from a null exception but I still get a warning. public static double CalculateHeight(LatLong north, LatLong south) { if (north == null || south == null) { return double.NaN; } double deltaLatitude = north.Latitude - south.Latitude; .... return ...; } I have to do the following to fix the situation: public static double CalculateHeight(LatLong north, LatLong south) { if (north == null) { throw new Argume ...Show All

• Smart Device Development System.CF namespce missing

  I'm using .Net Compact Framework 2.0SP1 and VS 2005. VS2005 doesn't recognise any System.CF* namespaces. Any ideas This message is saying there's no such assembly, it's not saying anything about namespaces. Assembly A.B.dll may or may not have A.B.* namespace in it. That is, there's no direct connection between assembly name and namespaces in it. In this case it does not matter though because there's no such assembly in NETCF either. You can check out NETCF's assemblies here: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE\ It might be 3rd party DLL which is missing. Why don't you call that 3rd party and ask them ...Show All
