• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Several REF/Runtime/documentation bugs/suggestions

  Hi, everybody. I've been doing things with D3D10 for some time and I must say that I'm overall impressed, it's a very good piece of software. However, there are some things I'd like to see improved. The first one is improvement of documentation - I hope, that it will be done before release :) There are lots of problems here - some wrong (SampleLevel parameters) / missing (how to use SampleCmp - it never says it needs a SampleComparisonState, in fact it does not even mention such type anywhere - I found it in fxc10.exe; pitch behaviour for block-compressed textures (it is not mentioned in docs as it was in D3D9, though it was different from D3D9 in June SDK - and was changed in August SDK to D3D9 way); the deprecation of BGRA fo ...Show All

• Windows Forms installing .net framework automatically

  Hi! I have a software, which should be run from CD (no installation), however I need to install - or offer to install .net framework 2.0 on the computer of course. I've tried ClickOnce and it works well, but it installs the software to the client computer. Now the question is, how to install the corresponding framework I expect that I will have to have a piece of unmanaged code, which determines if the framework is already installed (and starts my application) or that will start the right framework package (right platform and language). How should be this done Thanks. Hi, thanks for reply, but I don't find anything new there. You have to instruct the user to manually install the framework, or you h ...Show All

• SQL Server Configuring Connection Manager for 6.5 database

  Greetings once again SSIS friends, I am trying to configure a connection manager for a database that is still using SQL Server 6.5 But it is not working properly. I put the server name, user name and pass word, I select the Native OLE DB\Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server as my provider. When I click Test Connection it says the connection is fine but then the drop down list for the list of databse names hows nothing! Am I using the wrong provider ! I'm confused! First at all; you need to create a DSN to point to the 6.5 DB in the server/computer that would run the package. This is Control Panel->Administrative Tools-->ODBC Data Source Administrator. Make sure you create that DSN as 'System DSN' so is ...Show All
