• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Referencing unregistered DLL

  Hi all, I've had kind help with part 1 of my problem somewhere else on the forum, but I think part 2 should be posed here. What I am trying to do is create a .dll-file (TestDLL) that contains a function (StartMe) initiating a form (frmMain) and then call that form from both an EXE-file and an Excel add-in. The DLL-file I created with VB 2005 could not be registered with Windows, so I could not call the function StartMe from within the EXE. As it turns out, I could simply include a reference to TestDLL in the EXE-file, telling it where to look for the function StartMe. Logical deduction would therefore tell me I should also include a reference to TestDLL in the VBA-code, telling that where to find StartMe. Is it possible to do ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. simple projectile motion physics??

  im pretty new to gamedev, so simulating physics is new to me too. i know the projectile motion formulas, im just having trouble applying them. is there any "tutorial" on projectile motion physics for XNA basically, someone suggested to do "scorched earth". im trying to get the hang of just some simple projectile before i apply it to a game. i know i should basically have to just enter the initial velocity vector and the angle. then have it passed to a function that gets the initial x velocity, and initial y velocity. also, im assuming that whatever i get for y-velocity should be negative as "up" is negative in the XNA graphics. then, after each update, it should find the current change in position for x and ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Rerouting Com+ call

  hi, I have a 4-server cluster that has CLB. All the calls are routed to the CLB through NLB nodes that route to the next server in the cluster that has lowest CPU usage. All of the 4 CLB cluster run a set of COM+ applications. I would like to know if there is a way to re-route the call from one CLB server to another and PASSING THE WHOLE CALL CONTEXT so that the target server can reply directly back to the client. Is there any way to let the target (rerouted) server know about the Caller (origin) and set any context property so that this server can return to the Client directly thanks rb hi, I have a 4-server cluster that has CLB.

• Visual Studio Team System Encrypt Stored Procedures

  When I deployed my schema changes I used the option to encrypt my stored procedures and now that I have done this I can no longer perform a comparison with my database schema. I am using CTP3, so I haven't tested if this was corrected in CTP4 yet, but is this going to be able to decrypt stored procedures and views so that I will still be able to perform a valid comparison with my schema. I don't like the answer of not being able to compare encrypted objects. It would really be nice to still compare these types of objects. If you can't compare them because of encryption then maybe based on some type of version number or guid would be a second alternative. Is there going to be a way to compare objects based ...Show All

• Windows Forms Change Install and Update URL after publishing...

  Hello, I need to create a setup project for a webapplication that includes a link to a ClickOnce installer (MyApp.application) and the ClickOnce installer package itself. The problem is that when I build and publish the ClickOnce application I don;t know the Install URL that will be used on the web server after the package is installed there. In a few words, I need to manually republish the application on a series of different webservers by simply copying the files to other websites. I found in the MyApp.application file, the section that holds this install URL: <deploymentProvider codebase=" http://installLocation/MyApp.application " /> and changed the codebase attribute in a custom action of the wrapper set ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Autofilter criteria's

  Hello everyone, This might be really simple but I couldn't find the answer for it.What I'm trying to achieve is that I need to find all the possible autofilter criteria's of a single Excel list field (Column) from VBA. I know I could just iterate over the column's cells and distnictly find the values and store them into an array, but I'd really be intrested to know if there is a property which already gives me that. thanks, Mohamed Hi You could always store the unique values of a column in a collection, below runs down column A until it hits a blank, then lists unique entries in the debug window: Public Sub Listing() Dim x As Long Dim strList As New Collection x = 1 With Worksheets("Sheet1 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could this be used to make a Morrowind scale RPG?

  Hello, I was just wondering if XNA could be used to make an Morrowind scale RPG As has been mentioned, your biggest obstacle is the scale of the project. I don't want to say that one person couldn't pull something like that off, but if Morrowind took a sizable team 2 to 4 years to make.... If I had a dollar for every project I've started and abandoned. ;) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Product Feedback for Team Foundation?

  I'm trying to find Product Feedback for Team Foundation Server is it under the Visual Studio Product Feedback category Anyway, here is the bug I discovered. If you have a Report Path on Reporting Services with the same name as a project you are trying to create in Team Foundation. The project creation dies (expected behavior because it's in the documentation), and the report path is deleted from your reporting services. Obviously if someone accidentally named their Team Foundation Project with the same name as their Report Repository, they didn't realize that it had the same name, and I'm sure in most cases they wouldn't want it to be deleted without warning. Fortunately it was an empty repository for me (I had planned to design ...Show All
