• SQL Server Updates too ineffiecient to call from C#

  I'm trying to analyze a 2-Table Select Statement and compare to variables. if x > y then do math and run an update command if y > x then do other math and run update command It's very slow.. about 1 record a second. I haven't used store procs yet, but from what I understand, should increase performance. However, I'm having a difficult time tracking down any examples of this simple procedure as a SPROC. I could try using Managed Code in SQL 2005 and writing the sproc in C#.. but that has a learning curve all it's own. Can someone either point me to a SPROC Tutorial online, or outline the basics for the above function above.. it's too late to go to Borders and the Library didn't have any SQL books not chec ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Image formats?

  What image formats are supported Is there a reason GIF is not supported Again I've run into a situation where nothing would render and yet no error handler was called. This time apparently it's because there was an <Image> element with a "Source" attribute referring to a GIF file. It's very frustrating to try to work with WPF/E when it doesn't provide feedback for cases it knows it can't handle. In this case I rather doubt it's an XML validation error. So why isn't the error handler being called I can understand if the WPF/E implementation at this stage doesn't support some image formats. And I can understand that the documentation isn't complete. But I'm surprised that GIF files appear not to be supported, given ...Show All

• Visual C# Printed .NET Framework Class Library for 2.0

  I was wondering, Microsoft Press put out a multi-volume print version of the .NET 1.1 Class Library Reference in 2003. I've inquired Amazon and Barnes and Noble technical support to see if there was a .NET 2.0 reference available, and I've already looked at Microsoft Press' published books list. I know that all of it essentially is available on MSDN to anyone, but having a professionally printed version from the source would be truely beneficial to have. I find most online versions of books, even those well organized and indexed such as O'Reilly Safari Online library not good enough to reference and learn from unless you somehow can get yourself to concentrate on a screen for hours on end. Books seem to be less impacting on your eyes, crea ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums adCenter API Production SSL Certificate Change February 21, 2007

  On February 21, 2007 at 7:00 P.M. Pacific time, the Microsoft adCenter API production environment will receive updated Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates. This maintenance will take approximately 1 hour. The maintenance is necessary because the existing production SSL certificates are set to expire on February 23, 2007. We recommend that you do not run your adCenter API applications during the upgrade. After the upgrade, we believe that applications written in languages other than Java will not require any other action, but you should test your applications to make sure they work after the upgrade. There is no effect on the sandbox environment for this upgrade. If you are using Java, you must take the following action AFTER t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. LoadGraphicsContent for Game and Component - What is the best practice...

  Hi, I've followed the spacewar example and put the call to new ContentManager in the LoadGraphicsContent of the Game. Because I need to use the content manager in some of my components I have made it a static property on the top level game. I can call now call upon the content manager from the LoadGraphicsContent method within my components and load textures and stuff as required. However, it seems that the LoadGraphicsContent of the components are being called before the one in the Game. What is the best practice with regards to setting up the ContentManager, and using it within the Game and Component's LoadGraphicsContent. Any ideas Kind Regards, James Hmm, didn't think about tha ...Show All

• Windows Forms Web Browser Control Stealing Focus

  I'm afraid I've had a small problem with Visual Basic.NET (2005) and its Web Browser control. I have a small chat program I'm developing. The browser displays the text of the chat (specifically tag-board), while a textbox is used to input the text and send it to the server. The problem occurs after interacting with the browser control in any way: Right-clicking, clicking, highlighting, tabbing to, etc. After any interaction with said control, everytime the browser is forced to refresh (I have a 3-second timer that checks for changes in cookie data, forcing a refresh if there is), it steals focus from whatever other control I happen to be using. Any combo boxes, or textboxes, or buttons automatically give up their focus to the browser's upd ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Model generation wizard working backwards or is the programmer backwards? :)

  I have a table (again, using the video game stuff as my sample to play with): ID Title Description Rating (int, refers to the ID column in GameRatings) Type (int, refers to the ID column in GameTypes) Rating and Type both have foreign keys that point to the source tables GameRatings and GameTypes respectively. I have Associations in my Entity model that have produced classes called FK_VideoGames_TitleRatings and FK_VideoGames_VideoGameTypes. That all appears fine. However, I don't appear to have any navigation ability to allow me to do things like: game.Type.Name or game.Rating.Name Is there something I missed in the DB to allow for this automatic member generation, or, if the wizard doesn't do it, what do I have to do to my pre-generated ...Show All
