• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. drawing order for multiple passes

  I'm porting a MDX project to XNA, and have found a problem. In MDX, when drawing using a multi-pass technique, the scene first is drawn using the first pass, then using the second pass and so on. In XNA, I have the impression that first, the first object is drawn using pass1, pass2, etc. When the first object has been drawn, the second object is drawn. Summarized: MDX: (foreach pass: draw all objects) XNA: (foreach object: draw using all passes) In more detail, the XNA case would be (foreach triangle : draw using all passes). The screens I get quite convince me of this, and if you want I can post some code and some screenshots of both cases. But first I would like to ask if there is some kind of way to instruct XNA to (foreach pas ...Show All

• SQL Server Trying to connect to SharePoint database

  I am having trouble connecting to the SharePoint database on my web server. Our company intranet is accessed by http://webservername/ and the SharePoint site is accessed by http://webservername:2020/ (I wanted to put it on a different port to not interfere with our old intranet). Anyway, I need to connect to the DOCS table on the content database, but I can't seem to connect with SQL Server 2005. When I connect to webservername I see our company database but I don't see anything that has to do with our SharePoint stuff. I've tried connecting to webservername, webservername:2020 and webservername\SharePoint and webservername:2020\SharePoint with no results. If this isn't the right MSDN forum for this I apologize, but any advice would ...Show All

• Visual Studio The first record displays multipe times

  Hello, I have a report that was working but now all of a sudden when i run it only shows the first thing returned to the dataset and displays it as many times as there is records if that makes sense. Like if I return 20 rows it will display the first one 20 times. I assume I accidently changed a setting without knowing it.
