• SQL Server Stored Procedures Not Converted or copied to SQL Server 2005

  I am converting  about 50 databases from Windows 2000 and from SQL Server 2000  to a totally new 4 processor Server 2003 with SQL SErver 2005.  I used the Database Copy Wizard in SS2005 to do the transfer.  After making sure the databases were big enough to hold the new Masterdatabase everything went well... except none of the stored procedures from any of the 50 databases copied from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.  What did I do wrong   And how do i fix it.  Also, even though I changed the default database, the wizard did not reflect the new SAN location for the Data and Log files.  I had to do each one manually. OK - I checked around and most agree that the problem may exist in one or mor ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Future D3DX's not supporting SM1.x??

  I saw this in the October SDK readme October 2006 DirectX readme! wrote: Preview Release of the new HLSL Shader Compiler for Direct3D 9 Targets This release has a beta version of d3dx9d_31_beta.dll that includes the Direct3D 10 HLSL compiler enabled for Direct3D 9 targets (shader models 2.0 and later). The new compiler has no support for 1_x targets. This debug-only DLL allows developers to utilize the new Direct3D 10 HLSL compiler for their Direct3D 9 shaders, and will become the default compiler for all Direct3D shaders. Please try the new compiler by building your application with d3dx9d_31_beta.dll instead of d3dx9d_31.dll. Does this mean in future SDKs SM 1.1 will not be supported any more, or is this limitation j ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I get 2 buttons on a form, the first one moves to form2, the second quits the app?

  Im a newbe big time. I'm working on an RPG (to help develop my skills) that features 3 buttons on form1. The first is a button which is suppose to close form1 and open form2 for charicter creation. The second button is a credits button which simply pops a messagebox saying I made the game (which this button works), but button 3 is suppose to quit the program altogether.

I have only experence with QBASIC and just stared with C# like 4 days ago. Thank you for your time and patience. thats not the correct way of doing things why ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Sending selected tree view item data to model (how to bind)

  Hi All! I am trying to develop simple WPF-based application and faced one problem. I have UserControl that contains TreeView. This tree view is bound to hierarchical Categories structure. User can select one particular category and view the contents of the selected category in some list view (this list view is not from the same UserControl). Now I want to have Application.SelectedCategory property which will always contain the category selected in tree view. This property will be used in other user conrols. I tried to establish OneWayToSource data binding using TreeView.SelectedItem property, but the attempt failed because this property is get-only and it is not registered as dependency property. What should I do Handle selection change ev ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. hey can some one help?

  hey guys im new at at all this code stuff what code does it use to make a game on xna and can u make a first person type of game on the xna ... and could i do this if i can         Thanks to all.. Certainly XNA can be used to make an FPS, but if you are new to programming ("this code stuff") you're better off working through some smaller games first. For example, Tic Tac Toe, then a Tetris clone, then perhaps a side-scrolling platform game. I know that's probably not what you want to hear, but these small games will teach you most of the skills you need to write bigger games, and you'll learn to program well enough so that a larger project won't collapse around you in a spaghetti co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Adding a large amount of contacts

  I've hit a road block. I am writing a .NET Outlook (2003) plugin to update my users contacts from a database that our clients update. I have managed to get the plugin button up, and clicking on the button gets the contacts and starts adding them.
