• Visual Studio Sandcastle - MRefBuilder and .NET 3.0

  How should I go about documenting stuff using .NET 3.0 framework I tried changing the mrefbuilder.exe.config appropriately (both using Sandcastle Help File Builder and manually) but I keep getting "Unknown target platform '3.0'" If I set it to 2.0.50727 then it "works" but links to 3.0 specific things are obviously missing Is this a known issue Either way, can this be fixed as 3.0 now is officially released regards, Simon Anand, Many thanks for the hints. Don't want to be a pain but it would be helpful if you could include the build string, is this possible I had more success with the 'core' .NET 3.0 assemblies than I did when trying to include the WCF, WWF, and WPF assemblies.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. VC# starts always again to compile

  Hi, I have one question to Visual Studio C#! In Visual Studio Express I build my XNA game project with the Build/Build Solution Button and then I want to run it and start my program with Start Without Debugging . After pressing the button VC# starts again to compile...but I haven't changed something! Is it normal Or is it only in the Express Version like this because it always takes up a lot of time. thx Stefan PS: Sorry, I didn't want to make a own thread with this...mixed up the button :) ive used vs pro and it behaves the way you would like it to (deosn't recompile if no changes). I think you can configure it but I cant remember how. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Custom blending

  I need an alpha blend, which blends the alpha as well. I need this on systems which might not have seperate alpha blend, so I was considering doing it in a pixel shader. It would be easy to put the blend into ordinary code, but... I can not, as far as I know, do any blending in the shader. When rendering primitive n I want to blend with primitive n-1 which has been rendered, but in the shader I have no access to the pixels generated by earlier primitives. Is the solution to render a primitive (back to front) to a full screen texture and then use that as a reference when rendering the next primitive Should I expect a large overhead from all that texture switching Actually there will be very few primitives. Probably never more than a houn ...Show All

• SQL Server Lift chart

  Is there a Lift chart viewer like the model viewers that can be embedded within your windows apps If not, then can this be easily created via Adomd.net api calls Has anyone done this easily in custom DM applications Thanks in advance, anil There is not a control that you can embed into your own applications, however you should be able to replicate it's behavior. You can inspect the calls made to ther server by using the SQL Profiler to trace all interactions. Another thing to try is to use the Data Mining Addins, which have a lift chart, to see exactly what calls they make to create the lift chart (this is a bit easier since you can inspect the output directly in Excel). ...Show All

• Visual Basic Making settings mandatory and trusting locations

  Hi everyone, I'm working in a 300+ workstation school site which has 1500+ users. I have installed VB 2005 and setup the settings that I want them to have. How can I restrict Visual Basic so that it's 'profile' settings stay the same for each user after they log off and without an error message saying that it 'can't be written to I have tried restricting the settings file and it gives me an error. Is there a way of turning off the 'auto' saving function of the settings file Secondly, We have redirected all the user accounts to a mapped network drive on the server - ex H:\ . When I make a new project on H:\, it states that it is not a trusted program location... How can I make it so that H:\ is trusted Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Please explain the difference between Orcas and VS 2005 beta 1

  I am completely confused about what is going on with Visual Studio or even with .net 2.0.  Is Orcas VS 2005 sp 1   When are we finally going to see fixes for the bugs in .net 2.0 (some of which I've personally reported on)   Why are we seeing such a huge lag in between the release of .net 2.0 and a service pack   Why is orcas released only as a virtual image   Personally I find this to be useless in that I can not test anything in a real world scenario.   Could someone please post a single point for information on the future of Visual Studio… i.e. what is coming out next, what is Orcas, what is in Orcas, what does the beta service pack 1 mean etc etc.   The link below says that this is service pack ...Show All

• Visual C++ LNK2028/LNK2019 Errors related to using unmanaged DLL in managed code

  Hello, First of all, please forgive me if I am using some terms in an incorrect manner/context. I am reasonably familiar with C++, but relatively new to the managed/unmanaged paradigm. I am writing a managed C++ windows form application using Visual C++ Express Edition (that uses MFC) which, for its core functionality, uses a DLL provided by a third party. I do not have the source code, merely the DLL, LIB, and header. I believe the DLL actually provides C functions, but I am not certain. I have been able to use the DLL without problem up until recently. I have compiled and run earlier versions of the application and used the functionality provided by the DLL with no observable problems. However, recently I have added some code where I ...Show All

• .NET Development System.DirectoryServices and System.Management

  Hi. We're developing an application that will handle users. Instead of making our own users we would like to use the Active Directory functionality for user management. However, our clients also involve those who do not run Active Directory, for example, installations on only one computer. As of now, we are using System.DirectoryServices for our clients with a network and System.Management (WMI) for our clients with no networks. This is causing a lot of extra work for us. What would be the ideal way to handle these scenarios. We only need to search the Active Directory or the local computer. This should be quite easy shouldn't it Cheers, Chris Hi I thought that with directoryServices you ca ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) REST and POX using WCF June CTP

  During Tech-Ed, there was a session on using WCF to create REST services using POX-type bindings, e.g. I could create a single service that would respond to: http://server/customerservice http://server/customerservice/add http://server/customerservice/recent etc. In other words, use REST-style addressing to send back "plain-old XML" (POX) messages. It was demo'd at Tech-Ed, but the guy who did the demo basically said "all 45 minutes of code that I just showed you will be irrelevant once the June CTP is out" So - anyone have any samples of how to do this using the June CTP that make it easier than doing it manually using the May CTP Perfect. So can you (or anyone else reading) point me in the direction of the follo ...Show All
