• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. CDXUTDialogResourceManager cannot be deleted and recreated.

  This bug took three days to track down. It's nasty! The sympthom was that every time I moved the D3D window from my primary monitor to my secondary monitor or vice-versa, D3DXCreateFont() would have a protection fault. Eliminating all of the fonts in my code reveals that other D3D functions were also throwing protection faults. It turns out that the fault has nothing to do with D3D, but is instead in ~CDXUTDialogResourceManager() of all places! What happens is that the destructor calls two obscene little functions: CUniBuffer::Unitialize() and CDXUTIMEEditBox::Unitialize() which unloads some .dlls !!! These uninitializers are not mirrors of functions that were in the constructor. The dlls were loaded by the CUniBuffer constructor and ...Show All

  Hi Everyone: I am new to Mobile programming. I am now working on a mobile project.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) UsernameToken over Certificate authentication

  I need to use client certificate to validate the domain of the request and user name token to validate the user in that domain. I know that this is a classic case for federation but lets ignore that for the purpose of this post. So the first authentication of the request was through certificates, which was relatively easy. Instead of passing user name and password as arguments to a method, I would like to send a user name token in the request. On the server side, I would like to validate the user credentials in the WCF plumbing. How would I go about doing the second part given that it has to happen right after the first part Thanks. I was going to try to build one for you, but at it turns out, there is a sample describing this (Jan ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge Join question

  Hi, All, In the data flow of Intergration Service, my understanding is that the "Merge Join" only does the "join", there is no way to input the "where" clause. If I need to input the the "Where" clause or selection criteria, how should I do it in Integration Service TIA, here's a discussion, the merge join would be even better if it could join more than 2 tables at a time. I have many packages that require a left join to 5 or 6 other tables and the only way to do this is to use a merge join for the first two tables, then get the data from the 3rd table, add another merge join transform, then join the output of the first merge join to the data from the third table to get a ...Show All

• Visual J# ByRef Question

  Okay, here's the details of my problem: I'm using the WinSock 6.0 ActiveX control and I've get the following error from the compiler: C:\ImmuneSoft Security .NET\ImmuneSoft Agent\src\securesocket.java(336): Cannot pass object of type 'com.ms.com.Variant' as parameter of type 'byref Object' Now, the whole Variant path is what I took before when this was coded in J++ and it worked just fine.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) First Impressions of WPF/E

  I have been playing with every single CTP of .Net 3.0(WinFX) and I was very excited to hear about the upcomming WPF/E. So when I heard others say the first CTP of WPF/E was comming out today, I made that my first order of business. After installing the SDK, I ran though the examples. Wow it worked :). Then I tried it in FireFox and it worked as advertised. Looking at the code then reading the documents, my level of excitment dropped. I had put my expectations too high. I was hoping I would be able to write code in C# along with the XAML, almost like XBAP with a compiled app. Looking back on all the articles, I see this was never an intended implementation of WPF/E. I work in an all Linux/OSS enviroment working mostly with a Pretty Hu ...Show All
