• Visual Studio Team System MSF Essentials book: natural vs. planned vs. externally facilitated checkpoints

  Hi all, What are natural checkpoints, planned checkpoints, and externally facilitated checkpoints I found them in MSF Essentials book, Chapter 3, p.36, which says: "MSF builds in natural checkpoints ... help a team reflect and assess successful and not-so-successful aspects of a project. Planned checkpoints throughout the MSF Governance Model help teams to make midcourse corrections... MSF emphasizes the importance of organizational-level learning from project outcomes by recommending externally facilitated project checkpoints and post-project reviews." Would anyone explain it for me Thanks in advance! Checkpoints are a chance to sync up and/or compare plans with reality. The main differe ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. ClientBounds Problem

  I'm having problems with deploys to my 360. More specifically, the resolutions that the games are displayed in. I can deploy programs fine, but when I run them, my ClientBounds don't seem to match up with the DisplayMode.Width and Height. It basically means that the resolution I'm expecting to run in runs out at about 3/4 of the screen width and height. I'm sure it's something silly I've overlooked, but I can't seem to find the problem. I also noticed the device PresentationParameters reporting a backbuffer size that didn't match the client bounds. Default setup was reporting backbuffer at 800x600 and client window of 1280x720. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Where do I buy the whole devkit for XBOX 360

  I am working as a leturer in a University, and my department would like to developing game for XBOX 360 ,it's all for teachings only. So I am asking what do we need to develop a XBOX 360 game, and how much will it cost Is there any beta devkit including the devBox Any clues Thanks  a lot. Game Studio Pro does not even exist at the moment, and no details have been released about it, what it will be capable of, or who it will be made available to. You may (or may not) have to be a registered developer with a proper dev kit - the FAQ originally stated that the pro version would be for registered developers only, although I'm not sure if it still does. Right now, having a dev kit and thus being a registered develo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. FX Composer and DirectX Extensions for Maya (and Sas?)

  I am writing my effect files with FX Composer, it's a really helpful tool. I'd like my artists to be able to apply the various effects from within Maya 8. In another thread, someone very helpfully provided a Maya 8 version of the DirectX Extensions, but I am still encountering some difficulities. The documentation of the DirectX Extensions are extremely sparse and I can not seem to find any independant tutorials or anything on it. I'm beginning to wonder if anyone else really even uses the extensions and why or why not. In any case, I'm able to load an FX file and it shows the parameters, but I can not get any sort of binding to work. I've tried normal semantics, I tried a SasBindAddress annotation, and a few other things, but not ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with package.Execute passing variables

  I am having a problem with passing variables into my SSIS package from C#. The variable names match ("Variable1, ...), however they do not seem to be assigned the proper values once the package is executed. The package does run and returns a FALURE notice saying there is a problem with my expressions. When I added a new data flow, derived all the variables into columns and wrote their values to a flat file I noticed that the values still contain my default values from the SSIS package itself as though nothing was passed in from C#. I am hoping that it is a simple configuration/user error. Any ideas ---- C# ---- Reference to Microsoft.SQLServer.ManagedDTS using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime; Application ...Show All

• Windows Forms C# How to make a form click-thru-able (hard to explain in one line!)

  Hi, I was considering making a cursor replacement application in C#. To do this i made a form with a PictureBox and a Timer. The Timer would synchronize the form's position to the cursor coordinates. The form was using a TransparencyKey and was TopMost. However, when I click anywhere, the form handles the mouse event, meaning that I can't do anything with the computer other than click on the cursor (not really that useful!!).... how can I make it so that clicks "go through" the form OR! Is there some way in C# of drawing images, etc. beyond the form's surface Thanks in advance! - Javawag Sorry, I think you've misunderstood my question... As the application I am making is just a cursor replacem ...Show All
