• Architecture Thin client vs smart client

  We are moving from a VB6 to a .net world. We are about to finish our business components and now its time to start thinking about the UI. Well, there it comes the doubt: should we choose a smart client path or a thin client one We develop backoffice financial apps; they are used in several ways (users that operate it to process information, board of directors that access it just to analyse information, end customers that access it to get information on balance account etc). The chance to have someone using a non windows OS (accessing the system as client) is remote, but exists. If we choose a webbrowser client, then we would have to buy some good components (specially grid component and menus) that could "replicate" desktop exper ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. newbie question

  Hi, i have 3 questions regarding direct3d 1. Lets say i have a 3D cube, and i want to show its wireframe. I can achieve that by g_pd3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_FILLMODE, D3DFILL_WIREFRAME);, but how do i show the wireframe without the internal triangle lines drawn In other words, how do i show a cube with just its edges and not the trianglelines which makes up the cube 2.

• .NET Development Why FileSystemWatcher reports the wrong file name?

  We are using FileSystemWatcher in our website project to monitor the configuration files. However, after a file is modified, the reported FullPath in is not the actual file name. E.g, there is a configuration file N:\SourceCode\...\DataCommand.config while the reported file name is N:\SourceCode\...\ve-32E1.tmp or N:\SourceCode\...\ve-32E2.tmp or even sometimes N:\SourceCode\...\DataCommand.config~RF20a125a3.TMP but never the right one. This issue is very confusing and makes a major component in the system stop functioning. So I really hope someone can explain why this is happening and what the walkaround is. Thanks very much. The project type is the latest VS2005 ASP.Net Web Application. Software env: windows 2003 ent, ...Show All

• .NET Development About Connection and Disconnected Architecture

  Hi Which Architecture is better one in performance point of view. I am in big confusion pls help me... thank u seshu babu HI, In my point of view, In a connected scenario every changes that you make in your data would then be reflected in your database, it means that every update and every deletions or analysis that you are making, you are contacting your server. This may cause heavy traffics in your network. In a disconnected environment, you will have the chance to verify your data and change it before sending your updates in the database. In this case, other users would not be then affected by anything you are doing to your data. Coz your data would be stored locally (memory). and also, with a disconnec ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can I Use C++ To Process HTML?

Now is there a way that C++ can get this HTML file that contains the code for a web page from it's URL Like if the URL was microsoft.com, could it grab the HTML document that creates that page If that is possible could it search through the HTML file for a specific string If this is possible, can someone please show me an example thanks, Mark As said previously, there are multiple solutions.

• SQL Server SemiAdditive measures, LastNonEmpty, Standard Edition - I need something special

  My understanding is that the LastNonEmpty semi-additive measure: Is only supported by Enterprise Edition. Sums across all dimensions except time, where it takes the last non-empty value. What I'm looking for: A solution that works on Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition Does no aggregation at all across any dimension except time, where it takes the last non-empty value. Ideas Recommendations My current solution is to make the measures non-aggregating (i.e. AggregationFunction set to None) and the replicate the data across all values of my time dimension. This works, but it results in storing potentially 1000's of times more data in the cube than I'd like. The measures in question are limits that are used i ...Show All
