• Visual Studio Team System Merge/shelve/Source Control Explorer Strangeness???

  Here is the scenario as best as I can describe it. I'm hoping someone can explain why/how these things can happen. 1. Developer#1 attempts a merge from top of tree to branches\v1.0.x, gets some type of error (maybe SQL error but it put pending changes) Any ideas of what can cause sql errors 2. Due to the error that developer was seeing I (Dev#2) did the merge with no errors and shelved my changes for that developer to unshelve, review then checkin. The developer did this. 3. Developer #3 At some point during the above did a shelve of items they were working on in the branch. 4. Developer #3 notices a branches\v1.0.1 tree with just the files from Developer #1. They also notice some items in the shelve they did show up in v1. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Where is the free artwork that was promised for XNA?

  In a lot of articles I've read they said the XNA would have a large database of free artwork (both 2D and 3D). Is this available somewhere Thanks, John From the XNA website about Content Creators Club: "Both subscriptions provide aspiring game developers with access to thousands of game assets from Microsoft and key partners such as Turbo Squid Inc., as well as white papers, specialized starter kits, samples and technical product support to help turn Your World, Your Game into a reality."

• Community Chat Windows Code Named Vienna

  Can Anyone tell me how compatible it is going to be with previous versions of Windows. " And that Microsoft will 'start from scratch' [with Vienna] because of the clutter Microsoft Windows currently has." After being incredibly successful with VAX/VMS, Digital undertook development of a new operating system code name "Prism" with a matching processor for Prism. The project was going successfully for about two year with Dave Cutler as the lead architect at which time Digital canceled the project. Cutler and Many of the people went to MS and developed Windows NT for "new technology". How curious it was that Just as you subtract 1 From HAL in 2001: A Space Odessy the result is IBM.

• Visual C++ ReadProcessMemory crashes computer

  I am using CreateProcess, then using the process handle that returns and passing it to ReadProcessMemory. I have about 10 addresses I iterate through using ReadProcessMemory on each of them every 200 ms. Whenever there is a change detected in one of them, it will output the string ReadProcessMemory returns from the target process's memory. When I print this string to the console, my computer will emit an extremely loud system beep and crash, or it will just emit an extremely loud system beep. I haven't tested my program on any other computers yet, but if it is a computer specific-issue, but I'm running the program on a Dell Inspirion 9300 laptop. On a related note, if I'm playing a game or doing something else fairly processor intensive (r ...Show All
