• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Graph shader?

  I am trying to draw the FPS in a graph. For that I want to pass the shader effect a 1D texture, but it isnt very simple. I understand I need to use a sampler Does the steps of passing and using a 1D texture (or sampler) similar to those of passing and using a 2D texture Or do I need to do it differently For a 2D texture I have the SetTexture method for an effect, but I dont have the equivalent for a sampler or some sort of a 1D Texture which I dont know about. How do I achieve this Thank you. Well, there is a possiblity of non power2 textures, but I think the way they are implemented is that they allocated a power2 texture that is bigger then the required texture. And not all the grap ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ActiveX OCX / Registry call fails

  I have an ActiveX OCX that runs in a web page. It works fine except when run under Vista. The call that fails is RegConnectRegistryW. The return error is 1346. Meaning "Either a required impersonation level was not provided or the provided impersonation level was not valid". This call fails when attempting to return any hive handle --even a local hive handle. Obtaining hive handles via another fashion isn't possible as the OCX needs to be able to remotely connect to other system's registries --whether they be Vista or less. I'm pretty sure the cause for the error is due to insufficient rights and that the process which calls this API needs elevated privileges. How can I accomplish elevating this process Can I use a manifest file ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP9 anchor bug

  I set anchor in my class cs. I have a program in vfp code to create a form. I created a control object using cs and give a position in init method of the my form. Running result: The control object position is always on the left top of my form when I run my form. If you have an object with an Anchor value other than 0 and you want to move it programmatically, you need to save the Anchor and reset it after moving: For example: nAnchor = This.Anchor This.Anchor = 0 This.Left = 57 This.Top = 36 This.Anchor = m.nAnchor Tamar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Does the Tools for Office edition still have the ability to build and deploy traditional VS applications or .NET websites?

  Wrote an email to a college for advise about which version of Studio to upgrade to from 2003 professional I am asking for an upgrade of Studio for next year. Thinking that the "Visual Studio Tools for Office" might be better for me that the regular "Visual Studio Professional Edition". Main difference is that I only get vb & c++, and no Crystal Reports", but I get "Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions". College wrote: That sounds like a good idea at first, but I'm not sure that you assumptions of the capabilities of the Tools for Office edition on its own is entirely accurate. I am suspicious that you will only have the ability to build MS Office applications with the Tools for Office. I am not cer ...Show All

• .NET Development Web Services XSD Return Type

  Hi, I'm trying to develop a web service that spits out xml data using an xmlwriter. It conforms to a schema so I was wondering if there was any way to do this easily in c#. I was thinking something like: [WebMethod returnType("sample.xsd")] public string MyMethod () { //create a string using an xmlwriter and return the string } or something like that. Is there anyway to do this The reason I'm trying to do this is so that I can iterate through a datareader from a database and create an xml document representing the results (basically converting a sql stored procedure into a webservice). If anyone knows of the best way to do this let me know. Thank you, dg Thanks for the feedback. I don't wa ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Shell Extensions?

  In Vista Beta 1 our shell extensions worked but in beta 2 Build 5384 it no longer works. I found some mention of Like all COM objects, Shell extension handlers must implement an IUnknown interface and a class factory . Most must also implement either an IPersistFile or IShellExtInit interface in Windows XP or earlier. These were replaced by IInitializeWithStream , IInitializeWithItem and IInitializeWithFile in Windows Vista. The Shell uses these interfaces to initialize the handler. In some msdn documentation but I can't find any samples. Anyone have any information Thanks. If you wrote your context menu correctly, none of the Vista changes should affect you. The Vista changes only affect people who wrote the ...Show All

• SQL Server Timestamping at record create

  is there a way that when a record is entered into a table, that I can get it to timestamp itself Davids Learning Wow, I certainly wasn't trying to make you feel as though you were wrong and I was right. A "timestamp" is a valid datatype in SQL Server so when someone says they want to add a timestamp to the table, it has nothing to do with using a "datetime"-based datatype; that's really all I was trying to impart. A "timestamp" in SQL Server looks like this: 0x000000056A. We all knew what the implied definition was/is but I was just trying to help someone update their vocabulary so as to make life easier hehe What tool are you using to make the change I don't know which tool would give that type of ...Show All
