Software Development for Windows Vista Looking for CleanupSharedWinFXFiles.exe
Hello Forum, I had a prerelease of WinFX on my machine and I am looking for CleanupSharedWinFXFiles.exe which shall care for cleanup of the gac. I had the reference from a MS Page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyId=AAE7FC63-D405-4E13-909F-E85AA9E66146&displaylang=en but the regarding Link to this file is broken. Does anybody have this file or a working link to that download Best regards Ralf OK, I don't know if this helps anybody else, but I just tried (on a whim) uninstalled AnkhSVN, which is a free VS plugin for Subversion, and now VS 2005 comes up just fine with WF extensions installed. I guess there was some sort of conflict. Patrick ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mesh Display Not Symmetrical
Hi, I am writing an introductory Direct3D application to familiarize myself with DirectX 9. Basically, I'm cheating, and adapting the source code from the DirectX SDK samples. Initially, I'm just displaying a few meshes, and experimenting with values for fixed function pipeline lighting, and also, using an HLSL shader to demonstrate Effects lighting and position transforms. It all works surprisingly well, given my level of sophistication, except for one thing: the meshes are displayed with the dimension in the vertical axis about a third shorter than the other two axis. I didn't even notice this until I used the sphere mesh (included with the SDK), and got what appears to be an ellipsoid. I'm assuming that the error must be in th ...Show All
.NET Development Counting values in a hash table
I am populating a hash table with values retrieved from a dataset. Once the data is in the hash table I'd like to query against the hash table, look for a particular value and then have a count of that particular value returned. Not having worked with hash tables before I have no idea how to do this; nor do I know if employing a hash table is indeed the best way to accomplish this, so if anybody has a better idea I'd be very appreciative to be told so and given an example. Thank you. Sean. I assume you want to do something like this: foreach(DictionaryEntry dictionaryEntry in hashTable) { Debug.WriteLine( dictionaryEntry.Key.ToString() + " => " + dictionaryEntry.Value.ToStrin ...Show All
SQL Server calling user-defined functions in another DB
I have a number of databases that require a set of common functions. I'd like to place all those functions in a central DB. I'm having trouble calling them using the syntax FunctionDB.GetParamLength() for example, which works within the FunctionDB database. Any ideas/suggestions I really don't want to maintain seperate copies of the functions across 5+ databases. Should work for you like this here: USE Master GO CREATE FUNCTION dbo . DisplaySomething () RETURNS VARCHAR ( 10 ) AS BEGIN RETURN ( 'Something' ) END GO USE AdventureWorks GO SELECT master . dbo . DisplaySomething () USE Master GO DROP FUNCTION dbo .

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. collision detection - alpha channel mask?
I'm making a tile-based game, and some of the tiles are part walkable, part not-walkable. (like half mountain, half dirt). I need a way to determine which part of the tile can be walked on and which part can't. I can't do it based on pixel color, so I wanted to know if anyone could help me out with some bright ideas. I remember hearing something about an alpha channel mask you can put over your tiles, or recreate the tileset in black and white to designate walkable/not walkable. Is that the best (or only) way to pull this off If so, that would double the size of my tileset file I would recommend looking at the XNA Resources Color Key map tutorial .Using a method like that isn't the only way I'm sure, ...Show All
Visual C# Importing resources
Hi! How can i add existing resource file to a C# project in VS2005 without breaking the connection Lets say that i have a resource file, "MyStrings.resx", with one single string resource MY_STRING = "Hello!".

Internet Explorer Development Internet Explorer Toolbar (Menu Bar) disappeared after installing IE 7
I use yahoo as my homepage, when the "Get IE7 now!" appeared in the toolbar, I clicked on it and installed it. Big Mistake so far...Here's the problem, after installing my IE menu bar (toolbar) containing "File, Edit, View, tools, help" vanished and I can't figure out how to retrieve it or get it back. I have checked and it is not hidden behind another toolbar. Along with that, The IE blue bar at the top & small bars at the bottom contain no information of the URL (webpage) when pages are loaded. In the Yahoo toolbar, under the pencil icon- there is no standard toolbar listed anymore. Also my tabs disappeared from yahoo and under the toolbar options there no longer is a check box to "Enable Tabbed Browsin ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions Is it possible to register a manually installed version?
My own PC doesn't have any sort of internet connection, so I've downloaded the manual installation versions (*.img files) on another PC and installed those. Because of this, the "Register" menu option is a bit useless to me as it has to connect to the internet to perform the registration, and from what I've gathered the registration is tied to a PC so I don't think copying and pasting the URL it tries to use would work. Is there any way around this M9K wrote: Yep. You will get a couple of e-books and some examples to get you started...<br />They can be downloaded like the .img files. As a newbie in programming I can't tell if they would do you any good...<br /><br /> ...Show All

Calling the line a second time doesn't work because I get "datareader already active on this command" error.
