• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mesh disappearing after a small amount of time

  Hi all, well after playing a bit of beta 2 i founded a problem! Basically in my game, there is one spaceship that goes constanly in (depth, Z...) and there is camera that follows him all the time.And then, suddently after small amount of time (5-7sec) everything disappear, i can only see my background color.

• Visual C# vjslib and other unwanted assembly references in web.config

  Hi all, I apologize if this is not the proper forum. I have a big solution containing a couple of class libraries and a web site (project type: file system based asp.net web site).

• Software Development for Windows Vista AutomationElements with no supported patterns

  I'm attempting to automate one of our company's products, and I've run into a snag: I can get an automation element for all of the controls in the product, but many of the controls have no supported control patterns. IE: the menu bar and tool bar of the product have no control patterns supported, and no children. The product is built on .Net 2.0 windows forms, and uses primarily standard controls. Automation code will have to be done on the client side, as there are currently no plans to add server side support at this time. I've looked into the possibility of using client-side proxies for automation, but I'm not sure if that's what I need. (Especially since many of the controls in the product do have supported control patterns, and ...Show All

• SQL Server import database

  I need to import a database from MS SQL 2000. I created the database. Then I create the database scripts and run them in sql express but I get this error. "The specified schema name "username" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it." I have also tried to use DTS on MS SQL 2000 to export the data into text file. I do not have the ability to copy the mdf files and attach them in SQL express or make a backup. SQL Server introduced the schema whcih did not exist in SQL Server 200. YOu would either have to rename the object owner in the script to a existing schema (like dbo) or create the appropiate schemas in SQL Server 2005 which were fromer the owners of an object ...Show All

• SQL Server Install and Uninstall problem

  I am having very simular problems with installation and uninstallation as Laydee is having. There had never been another instance of any type installed on my local computer, I installed SQLExpress because we want to begin migrating to something for the future, and after reviewing all the other options out there decided SQL Server 2005 would be the most efficient use of time and resources. The initial installation was successful, and we were doing well, writing the new GUI in VB6, then decided we would try VB 2005 in order to take advantage of the .NET framework, stored queries, etc. the first time we accessed the database (Thank God it wasn't the production database) it corrupted something, somewhere and we never could get anything t ...Show All

• Visual C# Using C# to Delete contents of entire Access Table in one step

  I need to delete the entire contents of an Access Table after I am done using it. I am using the Table to store data until it is printed in a Crystal Report. After it is printed I no longer need that data in the Table. I have been able to delete individual rows in the past using the .Delete(...) and then the .Update(...) functions. The prblem is that doing this for 5000+ records several times a day would be cumbersome and time consuming. Is there a comand for deleting all the contents of the table in one step currently for testing purposes I am just opening the database and manualy deleting the entire contents of the table. Here is my current code for deleting the data: public void LoadDelete ( int Count) { StreamReader read ...Show All

• SQL Server Slowly seek in access

  Hi I have a frontend Access and backend SQL works fine but when i in my customer table seek in name it takes very very long time . I use ODBC to my connection is there anayway to this better. regards alvin It also depends on what you are doing with the data that is returned to Access. How are you processing the returned data. It may be that SQL server is returning the data very quickly, but Access is taking a long time to parse the data. You could put debug.print statements on the access side to see how long it is taking to return and then process the returned data. ...Show All

  When a cell in a databound datagridview (combobox style) is clicked, it enters editmode. The only way to exit editmode seems to be to click in another cell.
