• Software Development for Windows Vista DIFXAPP returns an undocumented veto type 11585144 when trying to stop a driver

  Hi there, I'm using the Microsoft's DIFX merge module to install a driver in Vista, everything works fine, but sometimes when patching or reinstalling the MSI a reboot is required, the log file says: DIFXAPP: INFO: The Stopping of device 'ROOT\LEGACY_CSS_DVP\0000' was vetoed by 'ROOT\LEGACY_CSS_DVP\0000' (veto type 11585144) Does anyone know what this veto type mean - it is not documented in any Platform SDK I have and there is no information on MSDN... Thanks, Krassi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Modifying basicHTTPBinding on Client side

  Hi Community, Has someone tried modifying the basicHTTPBinding on the client side Is it possible or I am thinking something non-standard thing What I think there should be a way to inherit and override what is already provided in basicHTTPBinding or in any other out of box binding. For example in the following code I am changing the IncludeTimeStamp to false. This may be the bad example in which the channels on the service side will not match. But idea is, what if the server side code is not WCF service. If the IncludeTimeStamp flag is not required on the server side but everything from basicHTTPBinding is required. using ( GetAddressClient proxy = new GetAddressClient ( "GetAddress" )) { try ...Show All

• SQL Server b-tree structure.....

  Can someone explain me or let me know the URL where I can find more details about b-tree structure. I am more intrested in the calculation that is done in one of the articles below. ---------------------------- Artcile ---------------------- With the 900 byte key, 8 rows can fit per database page. This means there will be 12500000 pages at the leaf level, 1562500 pages at the next level up in the b-tree and so on, giving a total of 12500000 + 1562500 + 195313 + 24415 + 3052 + 382 + 48 + 6 + 1 = 14285717 pages (including 1785717 to store the upper levels of the b-tree). -------------------------------------------------------------- How is 1562500 , 195313 , 24415 etc are calculated.... from 12500000 leaf pages.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Expression.CallVirtual problem ... string's "Contains" vs "Equals"

  Hi guys, I found in a few forums how to use CallVirtual to generate Expression's and adding it to a list and later combines them using Expression.Or. Then use the 'Expression where = ...' and '...CreateQuery' to search from a list. In those examples, they used the string's "Contains" method. It's something like this ... myPropertyValue = "string_to_find"; ... expressionList.Add( Expression.CallVirtual( typeof(string).GetMethod("Contains"), Expression.Property(p, typeof(MyPropertyObject).GetProperty("MyPropertyName")), new Expression[] { Expression.Constant(myPropertyValue) } ) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Advice on managing Solution (.sln) files

  Does anyone have any advice on how best to deal with Solution files in regards to source control Currently, we have one solution for the team that all team members use. This was fine when our project teams were 2 to 4 developers. The trouble is we have really ramped up and team sizes have increased to 5-15. With this increase it seems like we are having more and more troubles relating to our solution, especially, with team builds. I am thinking that I need to move to solution files as being personal and should not be checked into Source Control. Trouble with this, is how do you get new developers set up w/o a huge set-up. Furthermore, and much more importantly, how do you run nightly builds or any built-type at all. I'd love to h ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio Developer News Start Page news channel URL

  I recently installed Visual Studio 2005. My preferred language is C#. The Start Page initially displayed the message "The current news channel might not be valid or your Internet connection might be unavailable. To change the news channel, on the Tools menu click Options, then expand Environment and click Startup." All good stuff, but didn't help me get a valid Developer News connection. Unfortunately I tried to put in a URL from a microsoft website, overwriting the default URL. AND I didn't write down the default. So now I can't get Developer News and can't set the Start page news channel URL back to the original value. Anyone know the original value Here is the link mine is set to ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could C# be the future of gaming?

  Since XNA is using C#, and is is a more intuitive language than C++, is it possible that in the future that C# will dominate, espessially in AAA titles. Could XNA be ushering a new way of programming in the main stream Although I’m a huge C++ fan but.. XNA will be using C#, DirectX is now shipped with many samples tutorials for managed frame work, and the bench mark between C++VS C# graphic applications isn’t noticeable even sometimes its better on C# with all that I guess its time to migrate from C++ to C#... ...Show All

  I am trying to use a device created by my application and using DXUTSetDevice(renderer->GetD3DDevice()) to set it. Inside the DXUTSetDevice (DXUT.cpp) function an attempt is made to get the presentation parameters from the swapchain through the getContainer function as follows.
