• Visual C++ More C# -> C++/CLI issues w/generics

  Does anyone know if there is a C++/CLI equivalent to the C# 'default' keyword when it is used to produce the default value for a generic type Below is a hack I came up with, which I do not consider to be the least bit elegant, and was wondering if there is something I'm missing or if someone knows of a better solution. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// /// the gc_default() macro can be used like C#'s default() /// Perhaps this syntactical sugar may be a bit much, as it /// may emit a distinct type for each generic param. #define gc_default(T) __gc_default<T>::__value ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// generic<typename V> public ref struct __gc_default { public ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Video/Animation Playback

  Hi, I'm currently writing a library (for XNA/DirectX) for animation/soundless video playback, and I have a few design questions for the pros out there if you don't mind answering them : I'm having my animation class inherit from game component, and update the frame depending on game time in the overriden Update method, and render it in the overidden Draw method, but even when I preload my textures to render, playback is choppy. Not sure exactly why, but I notice this only when I have significant number of frames (I noticed it with 100 frames, but *not* with 10/15). This problem may be linked and solved by the 2nd point, so please read on. When I preload all the textures for the frames in the animation (and the no. of frames ...Show All

• Visual Studio Second page always blank in report

  Hello, I have a problem regarding a report created using data from SQL Server and called from a windows form.

Every time the month changes, the number must be reset. This thing works a little bit, but once on 3 or 4 pages it counts 2 times the same number (ex: 1,2,3,3,4,5,etc...). I would appreciate any answer. Regards, ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1

  i have an installation of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and now i want to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1 but without uninstall the old version...could someone help me... Sorry I didn't notice this earlier. In this case, Jens is not correct; the upgrade from SQL Express RTM to SQL Express Advanced SP1 is fully supported. I think the confusion is that there was a bug in the beta release of SQL Express Advnaced that prevented you from upgrading from the beta release to the final release of SQL Express Advanced. In general, you can always move up in Edition (i.e. SQL Express to SQL Express Advanced) as long as the Edition you are installing is at the same or higher service pack level (i.e. SQL E ...Show All
