• .NET Development Generating random numbers and Retreaving them in other forms in C#

  I admit it, this probably has been answered half a google times before in other threads, but I have not been able to find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm trying to make a rpg (hence the need for a number generator). But, I need to be able to have the spread of the nembers to be between 1 and 20, for example. Then, I need to call these numbers latter on. Obviously I'm learning the language and trying to modernize myself (I've only worked with QBASIC beore!) Can anyone help Oh yeah, I should mention that a psudorandom number would suffice. I didn't read the thread to a T, but the stuff there looks inefficient.  James Curran's shuffle technique described above is the standard way of generating permutations of random numbers ...Show All

• SQL Server Need to copy All oracle tables to SQL Server 2005

  I am racking my brain on this one. I am migrating Oracle data to SQL Server and would like an SSIS package that will copy the oracle data from every table to SQL server. I already have the schema set up in SQL and a straight copy of a specified table works fine between the OLEDB source and OLEDB destination. However, when I set up a loop which sets a global variable for the table names, which are identical on both dbs, and try to set the OLEDB Source and Destination OpenRowsetVariable to the global variable, the process fails with these errors with all validation turned off: [OLE DB Source [18]] Warning: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. First XNA project & a question regarding pink outlining

  I am creating a old-style RPG with added bells and whistles and it uses XNA. I threw a character in the game and he has a pink outline around him which is actually what I use for the transparent color. Do I need to do anything in code to remove this I thought I did something similar in Direct3D before when I was first creating the texture. Since GSE does it all for me, I'm getting an unwanted result. Screenshot: http://lh5.google.com/image/philvaira/RZ2EQXve37I/AAAAAAAAAAs/rx381x00kQA/Nral_Alpha_Screenshot_1.PNG.jpg imgmax=800 At any rate, this is my first project using XNA.

• Visual Studio Team System Problem in creating the Release Mode Build using Build Type

  Hi , I am not getting the Release Mode Build using Build Type even though i specified the Mode of Build as Release in the Build Type Creation Wizard . Where should i change for getting this Release mode build using Build Type. Help me out with this issue. Regards, Anbu Even without the line break I'm still getting a problem with the same symptom. It finishes my previous steps and then runs devenv under the TFSService user and then hangs. This target works if I put it in a separate MSBuild project and call it without using Team Foundation Build. I suspect it's something to do with the fact that Team Foundation Build is calling it as TFSService. My target looks like this (it errors if I don't have a space between t ...Show All

• SQL Server multiprocessors

  HI If the machine running SQL Express has multi-processors  (2) - does it have an adverse affect on it's peformance, heavens forbid - do we need to make any settings changes via the Enterprise Manager tool   Thanks bruce Hmm that might be the OS not being as smart as we would like, you could try setting the processor affinity (if its supported in Express which I can't remember right now). 60 MB does seem a little low, I'm testing a new sample against adventureworks right now and its using 1.2GB on my desktop with a single user... The memory usage is very workload dependent. If perf does not become more predictable try posting back. ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView - Column/Cell Not Selectable

  Hi, I have a DataGridView with 5 columns but only want the user to be able to select cells in one column (prevent selection of the other cells) I have tried to find a property for a column to say you can't select it, but can't find anything. Surely you don't have to write a whole bunch of event handlers (cellclick, keydown, etc) and dynamically change the focus to the one columns cell you allow to select. Can anyone help me with this - even microsoft access has the ability to not allow selection of a particular column cell. Thanks in advance, Grant.

• Visual Basic Running a DTS Package in Visual Basic .NET

  Hi All, I am having a terrible time trying to run a DTS package in Visual Basic .NET. In VB6.0 it was easy now I get a Security Permissions violation and can't get past it.

• Visual Basic ReadOnly property is "late" and String type variable is loosing value

  I have a a class with two ReadOnly Property. The first one chooses a value, depending on a Public Variable, through a Select Case. The second one, calculates a new value, from the first ReadOnly Property. When I first run the code, the first ReadOnly Property is OK, but the second stays null. Re-runing the code, at the same session, makes the second ReadOnly Property to calculate correctly. Is there some trick with multiple ReadOnly Property depending on another ReadOnly Property inside a same class This Class is accessed inside a structure. The second problem, is that I have two String variables inside this same class, and after some Sub's, this values, that where already set, go to "NOTHING". All the subs that ac ...Show All
