• Architecture Application design challenge

  Hi.. This is my first post on here, so I hope I hit the sweet spot by posting it here. I've been given an interesting challenge and I can't seem to come up with a grand solution, so I could do with some help. The idea is that I am to design an application for a language center. So far the center consists of two physical locations, out of which one would be considered both learning center as well as "HQ". What they want is a fairly simple application that enables them to enter student registration, classes (no planning involved) and payments made/due. Each location has their own administration; HQ is to be able to look into the data of every location. I came up with several approaches (in terms of which language to develo ...Show All

• Windows Forms UInt32 and Int32 - Why are Data Types of columns different?

  For some reason VC++ .2005 Express NET seems to declare two different datatypes for the related columns of two database tables, despite them having the same type in the database. This makes creation a datarelations in the dataset impossible because an error is generated saying that parent and child types are different. I have a dataset holding two columns from a database. One is a main table, the other a lookup table. The key of the lookup table and the foreign key in the main table are the same type - always. I tried this with the both keys defined in the database as INTEGER Unsigned. After Fill and FillSchema was called, the foreign key in the dataset had type UInt32, but the lookup table key type was Int32. I went back and changed the t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DXT compressed Textures

  Hi, in general it looks like there are the same DXT texture compression formats as for DX9. I assume those compression formats do not work with the new DXGI_FORMAT_R9G9B9E5_SHAREDEXP & DXGI_FORMAT_R11G11B10_FLOAT formats In real-life (TM) I always have to store texture data in DXT compressed formats ... if I want to opt for a better color quality in compressed formats, nothing seems to have changed between DX9 and DX10 ... is that correct Thanks in advance, - Wolf Thanks for the reply! Interesting. I understand most of your response, but am not quite sure what you mean by "gamma correction == gamma 1.0" and I don't want to be "pretty lost". :) Could you elabor ...Show All
