• SharePoint Products and Technologies Is Skin managed by wss ?

  Hi, Do you know how I can add a masterpage with Skin I don't understand how you do that. Thanks, Julien Masterpages are the skins. You can upload new ones into the Master Page Gallery to make them available for use. You can use a utility like this one on CodePlex to allow you to switch between the master pages. Hope that helps. If you are using MOSS, the MasterPage Switcher is built in... If you are using WSS3.0, you have to resort to the solution listed above. Hope that helps ! ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Multiple certificates problem

  Hi, I need to be able to use different certificates on the client and server (similar to the example: How To: Use Separate X.509 Certificates for Signing and Encryption) but the problem is I need access to the certificates that were sent from the client on the server to deteremine which certificates I need to use on the response from the server to the client. In WSE, I used a custom policy assertion and it was straight forward, can this be done in WCF Note I've tried implementing the "How To: Use Separate.." example and haven't had much luck with getting it to work even though this isn't quite what I need. When I try connecting to the server from the client it just timeouts and fails with no errors in the logs. Thanks, Mark ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY

  My development system has a video card with 64Mb of memory, and everything works fine. Another machine has a newer video card with 128Mb and works in full screen mode, but throws D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY when I switch to windowed mode. This happens in the function Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Device.Reset(PresentParameters[] presentationParameters). 1) Why would I get that error with a video card that has twice as much memory 2) All my objects are created with Pool.Managed (or MeshFlags.Managed). Doesn't that mean DirectX should manage the video memory to prevent this Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jeremy Spiller http://gosub.com The exception was thro ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Drastic FPS fall,when rendering QUAD

  Hello guys, I've been working on my 3D directx game for a while and I've recently added QUAD(ship cockpit), inversly transformed to VIEW, so its like GUI. However, I am encountering big fall FPS - well normally my time delay between frames is 17 ms, but when I render quad it jumps to 50 'ms'. What's strange is that rendering tha quad + needed preRender+postRender takes just 6 'us'. So why is there 5000x longer delay. Moreover, I've noticed that I can bypass time delay increase by rendering quad without being scaled and transformed to [0,0,1]=> (further to the front) position - there is no TIME INCREASE...but then the "cockpit image" takes just 30% of the screen and so it is not very realistic. Some info about the imag ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS2005 3rd Party library woes... and solutions!

  I have been researching forums about the problems of linking to old 3rd party libraries in VS2005. We are migrating to VS2005 at the moment, and are facing all of these issues. It seems to me to be a big oversight on behalf of Microsoft to leave what must be many, many people stranded with this problem. However, I'm interested more in finding solutions. Looking into the forums, people are coming up with all kinds of suggestions mixing libraries, defining symbols etc... it all looks a little unstable to me. I'd like to list a couple of ideas here and have some input from you as to how practical / stable they actually are: (1) Regarding the mixed mode dlls that we have compiled with VS 2003 that use these 3rd party libraries, compiled for .N ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Showing "1 000" instead of "1000" in textbox.

  OIkai, this might be very simple, but I have a textbox with "1000000" in it. And I want it to be shown as "1 000 000". There must be a way to get the data out and change it, and then put it back in the textbox again. Anyone know how And question 2, I found a old vb6 code: If KeyAscii > 26 Then If InStr("0123456789", Chr(KeyAscii)) = 0 Then KeyAscii = 0 Its for making a texbox accept numbers only, but it keeps giving me error on KeyAscii. How can I make it work in vb exp Bit tricky to do it in a line but the following works: Dim S1 As String = TextBox1.Text Dim S2 As String Dim X As Integer = S1.Length Mod 3 S2 = S1.Substring(0, X) For count As Integer = X To S1.Length - 1 Step 3 S2 = S2 & " ...Show All
