• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GraphicsDevice component not found.

  Hello, XNA is great, but with the Beta 2 release, I have been forced to change my code in many cases. One such case has not yet been resolved and I could use a little help with it. When I run this line: Sprites[x, y] = content.Load< Texture2D >(@ "Images\Block" + LevelCollision[x, y]); I get a ContentLoadException and am given the text "Error loading "Images\Block1". GraphicsDevice component not found." The file does exist in the right location and I do have its properties set to be built by the Content Pipeline and to "copy if newer". Thanks in advance. I figured it out.  I was calling LoadGraphicsContent(true) in my game constructor like an idiot.  At first, tak ...Show All

• Visual C++ (MSVCRT) _iob disappeared?

  What can I do to replace the functionality of _iob Seems to be missing in MSVCR7/8 (using VS2005). It is not necessary for the developer to access _iob directly for this problem to occur. We're running into the same problem when linking with libs which were compiled under VC 6. It could be that any lib calling printf() family functions wind up compiling a reference to _iob into the executable/library. ...Show All

• SQL Server Indexing Question

  I am somewhat new to SQL and have an indexing question I have a table that consists of 60 columns of mostly numeric data. Included in the table are fields called Customerid, CustDate and CustTime. Every hour data is posted to the table with the current time and date as well as customerID. The table is about 6 million rows. I have a query that reads: SELECT CustomerID, custdate + custtime as date FROM Mytable WHERE CustID = 905 and (date between ‘1/1/7’ and ‘1/17/7). The query works but it takes longer than I would like so I am wondering if it’s an indexing issue. Currently my table is indexed as CustomerID + CustDate + CustTime. None of the fields are unique, but the combination of the 3 i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Passing credentials from Word to SharePoint?

  I'm building an application that uses Word. One of the first things it does is create a new document based on a template that is stored on a secure SharePoint site. The problem I'm running into is passing credentials on to the site. I haven't explored this very thoroughly, but I think if the user has IE set to allow pass-through, then my application works fine. However, if that is not the case, credentials don't get passed, and there is no mechanism of getting those credentials. Is it possible to pass the credentials along If so, how A little extra information: the application runs as a Windows service, and has no UI. So, the way I see it, I have two options: pass the credentials of the account being used to run the service, or get th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Warm Up Contest Is Up

  Just letting everyone know that DreamBuildPlay's first warmup contest is live. I have to agree with you Oasis -- it's crazy for Microsoft to restrict this to those over 18. It won't affect me (I'm well over twice that age), but I think they should be trying to promote computer programming by high school (and even younger) students. I think the old Atari game Caverns of Mars was written by a high school student, and Atari published that. I could understand needing a minor's parents or guardians to sign a permission or waiver of some sort, but precluding them completely seems unfair and unproductive. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 closes dropdownlist if style changed via javascript

  Hi, I already posted this question to microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general 2 weeks ago, but got no answer. I'm not sure if I'm right here, but I'll try. I have to change the backgroundColor of a dropdownlist on focus. And if you leave it (onblur), the color has to change back again. Unfortunatelly IE7 closes the DDL when you change the cssClass or style.backgroundColor You can see it easily with this html page: <script language="javascript"> function SetClass(obj, valid) { window.status = 'Gonna change backgroundColor ...'; window.setTimeout(function() { if(valid) { obj.style.backgroundColor = "green"; } else { obj.style.backgroundColor = "red"; } wind ...Show All

• Visual C# Of Factories and Singletons

  Hello, I'm writing a investment portfolio tracking program. One aspect is the assignment of stocks to asset classes (like the company Newmont is a Precious Metals company, and IBM is a US Stock). I have a simple AssetClass class (hehe!). I don't need different c# classes for each AssetClass as they have the same behavior. AssetClass just has one property: get/setName. I don't want to just use a string to represent the AssetClass because the functionaly might grow in the future.  I want to enforce that there should only be one AssetClass instance with the name "US Stock", one with the name "Precious Metals". My idea to do this is to use a Simple Factory for the AssetClass AssetClassFactory : IAssetClassFactor ...Show All

  The installation process for Visual Studio 2005 prompts ' Please insert the disk: Visual Studio 2005' everytime when I try to install VS2005.

• SQL Server XML into SQL tables with relationships

  Hi, I'm trying to find the most efficient method of importing XML files into SQL Server using SSIS. The objective is to read these files created in a source directory and potentially there will be a large number of these created every second. I've experimented with the XML Source data flow task and been able to import using either the OLEDB Destination or SQL Server Destination.Using the associated XSD file These methods work well when there are no PK or FK relationships, i.e. the target tables are stand alone. However when I use a schema that has relationships I need to be able to import and be able to return the key then use this key to import into another table to ensure the FK relationship and so on..... From what I know ...Show All

• .NET Development Dictionary versus SortedDictionary (Generics)

  Is it true that the Generic SortedDictionary does not use hashing (like Generic Dictionary does), but instead uses vanilla comparisons of keys (i.e. binary search, logn time complexity) I ask, because a compatriot insists that both generic containers (Dictionary, SortedDictionary) use hashing.  I think he is mistaken. hi, Both are implemented in the System.Collections.Generic . Details follows :  Dictionary Generic Class and SortedDictionary Generic Class . ...Show All
