• Smart Device Development How to pre-integrate an application to BSP image

  I wonder how to write an application and build it with my BSP image, so that I don't need to execute installation procedure for the application after my BSP image downloaded and boot up. For example, I like to write a new game application, and I hope to make it appear on the game zone with the orignal two built-in games right after I download my BSP image to my board. Thanks. I found the term should be "pre-bundled" in MSDN link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms832368.aspx So, my question can be corrected as how to integrate a "pre-bundled" application to Windows Mobile OS image Thanks for any help in this question. ...Show All

• Commerce Server Commerce Server 2007 Shipping Options

  Hello, I am trying to figure out how to get shipping rates including the price and MaxLimit (the data from ShippingRates table). I can get the shipping method data by using the ShippingMethodHelper.GetShippingMethod() method, but I can not figure out to get the child data from ShippingRates table. Please help. Thank you, Dmitry If you need to display exact cost based on the items in the basket you can create a custom pipeline which calls the shipping calculation pipeline components. The pseudo code: ShippingMethod[] shippingMethods = ShippingMethodManager.GetShippingMethods() foreach(ShippingMethod shippingMethod in shippingMethods) { foreach(LineItem lineItem in basket.LineItems) { lineItem.Shippi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Individual mesh material transparency and reflection

  I have a room, which is a mesh; it is made up of approx 100 materials. A few of these materials are glass windows. I would like to make materials which use a specific texture (glass) to be transparent (and, if possible, reflective). Any ideas on how to get started This is my render method which is called in the Direct3D render loop: public void Render() { for ( int i = 0; i < content.LobbySceneMaterials.Length; i++) { ExtendedMaterial material = content.LobbySceneMaterials ; string key = material.TextureFilename; if (! String .IsNullOrEmpty(key)) { // Set texture from content where filename matches. Texture texture = content.LobbySceneTextures[key]; device.SetTexture(0, texture); ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Design Pattern

  Does anyone have a design pattern for creating a workflow that allows passing properties from one activity to another. It seems pointless having a workflow where custom activites cannot store a property at run-time for another activity to use at run-time because of activity cloning. I am trying to build a IVR workflow using Windows WF. One of the activites I created plays a wav file to the caller and waits for a response. Once a response is received the activity is closed and the response is stored in a property. The next activity needs to know what this response is in order to excecute. This next activity may be in another state, or within a while loop activity or ifelse activity etc... I do not want to have to store these acti ...Show All

• Windows Forms renaming a picture to a file

  i need to change the format of an image from jpg to dll so i can use it as an icon. im using this vb code to handle the conversion theBitmapSize.Save(savefiledialog1, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.dll) i can't get it to accept the dll part can someone help The reason you got errors when trying to save it as ImageFormat dll is because dll is not an image format. At all. Gqlu's method works good except that when you go to view your icon via Windows Explorer, it will not show its picture in certain views. You will have to use the GetThumbnail function to fix this I believe. ...Show All

• Visual C# MenuStrip problems

  I have a MenuStrip with a bunch of ToolStripMenuItems on it. My problem is that my form can have 3 different sizes (set in code and not modifiable by the user). The middle and larger sizes everything is fine. But when the window is resized to the smallest size the MenuStrip no longer displays all the items that it contains, it cuts off the last one. I noticed there was a "CanOverflow" property on the menustrip but setting it to true did nothing to help me out.

• SQL Server How to update a column in input dataset by SQL Query?

  I'm bothered by an issue of updating a column in input dataset from a update query. It looks like SSIS has a very poor function on this. Example, I have an input dataset of name, salary, dept_no, and I have another table called departments which has fields of dept_no, Dept_name, basic_salary now I want to update salary column in input dataset with basic_salary if it's salary is smaller than the basic_salary. update #tmp set salary = basic_salary where #tmp.salary <departments.basic_salary and #tmp.dept_no = departments.dept_no   how could I impletement this in SSIS package I tried with lookup, modify scripts by enabling memory restriction. It doesn't say any error when I save the package, but I never get pass debu ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Space Dust And Particles

  So one thing I wanted in my game was a way to fill the space up with dust and particles. Just little things here and there to give a sense of motion when there aren't any larger objects around. Any ideas how to go about this My one idea was simply to use billboarded textures for various sized particles but I'm not sure I could create the number I wanted. So before I went ahead with this slightly more tedious approach (which also requires I create all the objects), I figured I'd see if anyone had any ideas. Whatever you do, just make sure that you pull our dust sprites/billboards/whatever from a pool of existing ones. that way, as you move along ... particles that move offscreen can simply be repositioned a ...Show All

• Visual C# Docking problem

  Hi, I've got a mdi form with a toolstrippanel(+toolstrip) left and one on the right. I've also got a panel between the toolstrips. I want it to dock(fill) it, but when I do this, the panel is filled also behind the toolstrippanel instead of only between the toolstrips. Anybody how to solve this I've tried about everything now Stil the same result. Only when I add a toolstripcontainer it works. But because i've got controls on the back of the Mdi_parent I can't use it. The controls are always drawn over everything else(forms/panels/...). ...Show All
