• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What are all the scrip codes for XNA?

  I know almost all game develpement programs use scrip codes and I would reall like it is someone would tell me some I would like to know them all Also whats the code to make cheat codes The problem with your question is that XNA has no specific script codes. Each developer that makes a game using the XNA Framework will decide for themselves if they want to create their own scripting system for their game and they will either use an existing system (of which there are many) or implement their own. Also, there is no specific code to make cheat codes. Technically, I guess you would say that C# is the code to make cheat codes in XNA. If a developer wants to add cheat codes to his game (usually done for test ...Show All

• Visual Basic dual computer when debuging

  Was wondering if anybody knows how or if its even possible to hook up a second computer to visual studio. What I am trying to to do is get the application to run on the primary machine and get the debug window to display on the secondary machine. This would make stepping thru code alittle easier. I know it can be done with a secind monitor on the same machine but that would mean insalling a second video card. thanks You need to enable remote debugging.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) BitmapImage and Metadata

  BitmapImage seems to be the only class that allows to specify the target size of a decoded image ( DecodePixelHeight and DecodePixelWidth ). The problem is in that BitmapImage does not support Metadata property, which can only be obtained through BitmapFrame or BitmapDecoder . It means that an image would be decoded twice. There is, of course, an option to use BitmapDecoder to get an instance of BitmapSource (with Metadata ) and then scale it using TransformedBitmap . But it is still less efficient (both memory and performance) than using JPEG codec's ability to decode and scale simultaneously. Have I overlooked an API which can do that, or it is a new feature request ...Show All

• SQL Server Process AS2000 DataBase from SQL2005 Server Agent

  Hi! Want to process AS2000 DataBase that is located on one server from 2005 ServerAgent that is located on other server. SQL2005 Integration Services allows processing only of 2005 OLAP Databases. I could send an xmla-script to as2000 from a task o ServerAgent2005 but I've read that AS2000 doesn't support xmla scripts with process command. How could I do this without migrating 2000 databases to 2005 Thank you in advanced. Mastroyani . The problem is, that on AS2000 machine there's only AnalysisServices installed (No SQL Server and also no DTS). Are there some other possibilities ...Show All

• SQL Server How to insert multiple values to a column at a time?

  Hi all, I was looking to insert multiple values to a single column at a time in SQl. Any help pleas! Thank you Hi, In reality it is not acceptable according to data normalization rules. I.e. if you want to have such behavior you should better create an additional table and have foreign constraints mapping to it. Some example: table_x( field_1 ....., field_2 ....., field_in_which_you_want_to_have_multiple_values..... ); table_y( value_identifier ....., value nvarchar(1024) .... ); So you firstly insert several values to table 'table_y' and then just add value_identifier to a 'table_x.field_in_which_you_want_to_have_multiple_values' ...Show All

• Commerce Server propertiesToReturn

  I have added the propertiesToReturn to the webconfig and referenced a property that I added in the Catalog Schema manager. This works as expected in all areas of the site except Search. If I put one of my custom properties in the string then Search returns an error (and no longer works) - all other parts of the site work however. If I remove my custom property from the string then Search works normally. This is all being done within the latest starter site. Please Advise. In the SQL trace, please search for a call to stored procedure ctlg_GetResults or ctlg_GetResults_for_SingleCatalog.
