• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GameComponents controlling GameComponents

  Most XNA game examples I have seen so far load all the game components right away at the beginning of the game no matter what. I looking to setup a GameComponent (GameWorld) which the user will control to load which will subsequently load several other game entities which are inherited from the DrawableGameComponent as well, but they all controlled by the GameWorld as far as enabled/visible. This appears to work fine so far, I'm just curious though if there is anything wrong with this finite number of game entities all having there own SpriteBatch property because of this. Performance issue when GraphicsDevice is recreated Or even if this is a workable practice In other examples, I've seen certain drawable game entities custom created wh ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro rounding bug in vfp8?

  I have found what seems to be a rounding bug in VFP8. Any ideas how I can get around this please I was doing some testing when I found that I was a penny out on digging deeper it seems that when lnValue = 0.57500000000000, Round(lnValue,2) gives 0.57!!!!! when it should give 0.58. This is causing my validation to fail. Is this a bug The strange thing is that Round(.575000000000,2) gives 0.58 but the extra 0's in the scenario above are causing the difference. giuln wrote: same problem also in vfp6 and vfp9...

• Visual Studio Express Editions Re forum comparisation..

  Hello, I'm sure I'm in the wrong forum with this thread, but that's only because I want some attention of you 'VB' people at the moment. I've been 'studying' the VC++ forum here, and I noticed that the average 'top poster' in that forum posts about 50 posts a month.. In this forum, I see 'top posters' with about 120 posts a month Now I'm not sure about this one, but aren't here some coders who also know some VC++ that could sometimes have a look at the VC++ forum to see if they can't help I'm asking this because I posted a question a couple of days before, and whereas I would have had about 10 reply's in this forum, I don't even have 1 in the VC++ forum.. This could be because it might be a difficult question, but it might ...Show All

• Smart Device Development CE 6 and iostream

  Apologies if i'm directing this at the wrong forum. I want to use <iostream> in WINCE 6. I create a new OSDesign (targetting the emulator), build it, and add a sub-application. The new app doesn't see the standard iostream include file. It works fine when i use Windows Mobile 5 in VS2005. Thanks for any help Simon The OSDesign Subprojects and the generated SDK do do only support for the features included in the base Windows Embedded CE OS. The additional features you get when using the SDK ship with Visual Studio. These features are independant of the SDK used. You will not find the <iostream> header in the SDKs include file directory; you'll find it in here: <VS2005 Root>\VC\ce\incl ...Show All

• SQL Server how to add/replace a guid column?

  I've searched through this forum, and am extremely disappointed that something as simple as this can't be done without resorting to a script component (which I refuse to do): I have a Lookup transformation that returns a GUID value -- or not, so I've configured its error output to ignore failure. That should leave a NULL in the output column, and I should be able to chain a Derived Column transformation that replaces the Lookup output column (e.g. foo) with an expression like: isnull(foo) newid() : foo But there's no newid() function! Who was the genius that decided SSIS should implement different expressions than Transact SQL Is there a workaround, like (DT_GUID)GETDATE() Or do I have to craft a SQL statement in the Lookup t ...Show All

• SQL Server parameter boxes are empty

  Hi, I am have a reporting server which connects to a analysis server which connects to a sql server and a db2 server. I am using windows integrated security all the time except for the DB2 connection. That is a fixed username/password. Reporting server (RS), analysis server (AS) and sql server are all on the same machine. I created a local group and added the correct users to it. I gave that group browse rights on the reports so that works correctly. I created a role in AS and added that group to that role. Gave all read rights to that role.
