• Visual Basic Visual Basic 2005 IDE Performance Hotfix Released

  We've received feedback, both directly from developers and in the forums, regarding slow performance of the Visual Basic 2005 IDE in certain situations (larger projects, projects with many errors, etc.).

  While working on my Automaton framework for build automaton with Team Foundation Server I've come upon this rather cryptic exception. It seems to happen only once in a while, something I'm able to do successfull requests without this exception. What I have is an .ashx which returns some HTML content to my .aspx, and the .ashx is called using Xml Http javascript call (AJAX).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Xbox 360 Official Dev Kit vs. "the XNA thing"

  Here goes, The official dev kits intergrate within Visual Studio and compile on PC and send the executable to the machine and launch it via remote debugging. This also allows for breakpoints, steping thru code, etc. Will this new XNA subscription and Game Studio Express be similar to this idea I'm dreading things like relying on Windows support and burning it to a CD to play it on the 360. (For example) Egomancer wrote: I understood that you pay 99$ for 1 year, they make you a FTP account on the XBOX live site or another site where you upload the build. You connect with your XBOX360 there and you dload the game and play it. If I understood wrong please correct me. According to the FAQ: Q: ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions reading in CSV files

  I want to read in, then manipulate different lines of data from a CSV file ... before manipulating the data and then placing the data in a database format and structure suitable for other analysis and review in TBD (Access, SQL or Excel) I seem to be having trouble with the first, perhaps most trivial step.

• SQL Server MDX Query to display no records for empty rows

  Hi, I am facing with the following problem. I am using bar chart to display my report. My MDX query is as follows: SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[SUM_COUNT] } ON COLUMNS, TopCount ( Filter ( {[DIM].[NAME].[NAME]}, [Measures].[SUM_COUNT] <> 0 ) , 10, [Measures].[SUM_COUNT] ) ON ROWS FROM [USAGE] where <criteria> I want to show the topmost 10 records.
