.NET Development Slow Opening Initial Internet Connection in console application
Hi, I have a console application which should read xml from the Internet at some point. I've noticed that it takes plenty of time (between 10-15 sec) for initially "setting" an Internet connection via the console application. The same code works instantly in a asp.net web project. The example below illustrates the problem: It takes 14 seconds for step 1 and 0,0 seconds for steps 2 and 3. All files on server are really small (about 1 kb each - 10-15 lines) using (System.Net.WebClient wc = new System.Net.WebClient()) { //step1 wc.DownloadFile("http://somedomain/test1.xml", @"C:\Test1.xml"); //step2 wc.DownloadFile("http://somedomain/test2.xml", @" ...Show All
Windows Live Developer Forums Hover functionality on Pushpin click
My user likes the way the pushpin hover looks, but they want it done on the click of the pushpin instead of on the hover (along with different data that I'm Ajaxing in). I know I've seen this code someplace, but can't find it now. I have the OnClick working, I'm just not sure how to create the div. John, I've seen your 'Virtual Earth Popup Styles', but am not sure how to put it in play. Thanks in advance...Steve Since you mentioned my name.... I had this on my to do anyway, its annoying that if you click on a pin it stops the mouseover from displaying. http://www.soulsolutions.com.au/onclick.html Credit to hafi and sanderson1000 . <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Tra ...Show All

.NET Development Missing tlb file... sometimes ??
I have a vb.net component that exposes a class and it's methods to the COM framework. It's strong named, added to the installer etc. and works fine except for one thing: the tlb file associated with the class (dll) does not always end up on the target machine. Even re-installing the same msi without recompile/rebuild might or might not install the tbl file. This is necessary as we need to give other vendors access to our product so that they can use it. If the tlb file is not always installed, then their apps are going to break when they look for it. What on earth is going on I could directly reference the tlb in the installer to be absolutely sure that it gets installed (at the moment, it's picked up as a reference) but I'd like to know t ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is there any way to tell if a sampler has a texture attached in shaders?
Is there any way to tell if a sampler has a texture attached in shaders The default behavior is getting black when no texture attached but I want it to be some other color. That table shows values to expect when you have a texture bound to the device that is of a certain format. If you have no texture bound at all, then what format is going to be chosen from the table above It is true that RefRast's behavior is to revert to pass a black color for unbound textures. But this is not enforced on driver writers. Drivers are supposed to follow the DDK guidelines first. Sometimes a point might not be very clear, so they revert to the SDK docs to see how it's supposed to work out from the application POV. Now for ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) UIPermission error during Navigation to Download on Demand components
Hi, i am trying to use the following code, in an xbap, to navigate to a page in a dll that is downloaded on demand Uri uri = new Uri ( "/ProgressiveDeploy;component/window1.xaml" , UriKind .Relative); this .NavigationService.Navigate(uri); It compiles fine, but I get a UIPermission error at runtime. Is there something preventing this in WPF xbap applications. If so then why I would expect xbaps to have this functionality so large applications can be broken into smaller chunks. ok i'll wear the dunce cap this week. I guess the UIPresmission issue had to do with the fact that I was trying to navigate to a window instead of a page. ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. day2night
I wonder if it is possible to activate the day to night feature and if possible how. In the mission fit file you can implement a daytonighttime; for example: f DayToNightTime = 54000.000000 This value is (as it seems) picked up by camera.cpp result = cameraFile->readIdFloat("DayToNightTime",day2NightTransitionTime); I played around withit but can not see any effect in missions. Any idea what the value needs to be, how it can be activated, if it can be acticvated at all I will try it out; thank you. It seems not to do anything; does the entry for daytonight represent seconds Is there any other (hidden) entry needed ...Show All
