• Visual C# Communicating with my USB MIDI Keyboard..

  I'm trying to write a C# program to communicate with my MIDI controller keyboard which uses a USB connection and shows up as a USB Audio Device. I'm wondering how exactly I can communicate with my keyboard, since I'm going to write a program that will play the appropriate note, and run in the background, so I don't need any other programs running just to listen to what I'm playing. I've been unable to find any information on how to access my USB device, and though there are some C# USB communication libraries, I havent exactly figured out how to work them, considering usblib-win32 has no documentation of it's own, and usblib's own documentation os so minimalistic to the point of making little to no sence to someone who doesn't have ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GraphicDevice Exception in Beta 2

  Hello there. I switched now from the Beta to Beta 2 and just tried to run the Windows Game Template and i get a GraphicDeviceException. (See details at the end of the post). I had a similiar problem with my graphics card in the beta one, but got around it with disabling allowmultisample. but, since the graphic device API changed i tried to set pixel & shaders to version default to 1.1. ..but didn't make any change. i have a ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card, which, what i know should nativly support dx 9 and shaders 2.0. i used the cap viewer and got shaders version 3.0 in the output. maybe i'm doing something completly wrong. i hope that finally i can develop on my notebook with this graphics card, i'm not look ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Possible Bug in Collegue Tracker Web Part?

  I have been testing MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0. I found a possible bug in the Collegue Tracker Web Part. When changing the Site them to Obsidian in a MySite Site - the links in the webpart are not visible, yet they are there because the cursor changes as you scroll over them and clicking sends you to whatever you have scrolled over. The URL that is selected does appear in the status bar. I have not found this problem with any of the other themes. Has anyone else noticed this And if it is a bug - who do I tell I can duplicate the issue that you have reported although I am not really certain I would call it a bug, more of a UI issue. The link is still there it is just white text on a white background so it does not show up. The link does s ...Show All

• Architecture Data Access Architecture

  I am reviewing my current project and find that the data access is not so desirable. The main problem maybe root from the architecture of my data access. I would like to get more input. In my existing application, I have create one data access object for each table. Most of them are implemented by Type DataSet while some are custom objects (The reason is lack of inheritance of Type DataSet). For example, I have created a Typed DataSet Order to access my order header and order detail. I have also created a product class and a SalesProduct class (inherit from Product). The above objects are all treated as my DAL and contains CRUD mainly. (Certainly, I found some business logic messed into them already.) The problem came when I reviewing the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deploy Error: User or role does not exist in this database.

  When trying to deploy my DB project to my local DB I get this error: User or role 'clgdba' does not exist in this database. The role is in our pre and post deploy scripts to be created but this error kept coming up and it couldn't create the role. So we exluded all roles from the project and selected to rebuild the projects and re-deployed. The same error occured but the pre and post deployment scripts did not change, all the roles were still within those scripts. I am wondering if there are any security issues with roles or users that they are not able to be created in the local DB or if there are any work arounds to get a clean deploy. I have another question too. I having trouble getting the database schema from our QA environ ...Show All

• SQL Server Add sum column to query

  What's the best way to include an amount sum in a query if I also need the individual amounts For example, I need the following columns: order number order amount total amount I tried using "with cube ", but the total number of columns in the query exceeds the allowable limit of 10. stephane - Montpellier wrote: sorry, i made a mistake... SELECT a.ordernum, a.orderamt, b.totalamt FROM orders a inner join (select sum(orderamt) from orders) b on a.ordernum= b.ordernum I thought inner join could be more efficient than using where statement... Your statement won't work there either. You didn't include ordernum in your subquery. Never-the-less, inner join and the join method I used are identical. ...Show All
