• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 "Login failed for user" sa

  I have not been able to install SQL Express SP2 (standard or advanced) on Vista Ultimate (RTM). Every time I try to install, I get the following error message: SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'sa'. Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information. When I check the logs, the only information I can find that is at all useful is: Doing Action: Do_sqlScript PerfTime Start: Do_sqlScript : Thu Mar 01 21:35:42 2007 Service MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS with parameters '-m SqlSetup -Q -qSQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS -T4022 -T3659 -T3610 -T4010' is being started at Thu Mar 01 21:35:42 2007 SQL service MSSQL$SQ ...Show All

• Visual C++ This code snippet makes no sense...

  I've come across some code syntax I've never seen. It compiled, but I don't know how, or what it even does! I've been reading a book about DirectX, and in one of the examples, this little piece of code was present: D3DXMATRIX *D3DXMatrixIdentity(D3DXMATRIX *pout); "D3DXMATRIX" is a type, of course. And "D3DXMatrixIdentity" is a function, of course. Now I don't see how this works. Okay, to break it down, first we have a type, which is D3DXMATRIX, then we have the indirection-operator (which I assume is a pointer), and then we have a function (perhaps a call) with a new D3DXMATRIX (pointer) as it's only parameter. How the heck does this work It isn't just a regular function-call. It isn't a function-call that' ...Show All

• .NET Development SortedList

  First I made it like this: SortedList^ probcode; probcode= gcnew SortedList; probcode->Add((Object^) 1 ,L "There is a problem" ); probcode->Add((Object^) 2 ,L "Its too hot" ); probcode->Add((Object^) 3 ,L "Its too cold" ); It didn't work (Failed on comparing two items in mscorlib.dll), so I made it like this: SortedList^ probcode; probcode= gcnew SortedList; probcode->Add( "1" ,L "There is a problem" ); probcode->Add( "2" ,L "Its too hot" ); probcode->Add( "3" ,L "Its too cold" ); And it worked.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can't find compiled program

  I compiled the Hello World program with no erors, but i can't find the .exe file for the program Use the windows search function.

• Software Development for Windows Vista InkCanvas selection adorner

Is there any way to modify the default selection adorner in an InkCanvas For example, I would like to make the resize handles round instead of square, change their color, or even enable/disable some of them depending on the element selected.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What is a graphics engine?

  Ok just what is a graphics engine i am very good at making algorithms to describe what happens to something or calculating various things that would happen in a game but i am completely clueless when it comes to graphics. Does a graphics engine take care of actually displaying my stuff on screen In other words I tell it the objects location in 3d space, its direction, and it takes care of the actually displaying the scene.

• Visual C# Time scheduling algorithm

  Hi all, Im interested in the ideas you will generate on the following problem. Say you have 11 departments and each department has come up with their own innovative brand of products and there is a scheduled presentation day for all these products. Each brand has 1 - 3 creators (a team) that will be both presenting their product for one hour (to three teams) and evaluating other products (each team evaluates 3 other teams in 20 min intervals) for another hour. The presentation lasts 8 hours and the goal is to have the presentation and evaluations back to back (or as much as possible). Note that there could be as many as 140 teams across different departments which all need to grade and be graded. However, there are some restrictions: 1 - ...Show All
