• SQL Server Confusing timeout; bug in deleting cubes and dimensions?

  Hi, I got this error when I deploy a mining model. -- Error 1 OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: The query has been canceled because the estimated cost of this query (628) exceeds the configured threshold of 300.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Problems with custom tiles

  I am adding a custom tile using a static map image file on my pc and loading with AddTileSource & AddLayer. The file loads but not only is it not scaled or positioned correctly, but it also gets tiled across the whole background VE image The image is correctly georeferenced in the bounds clause and is based in the northern hemisphere - in the UK. I've tried bmp, png and gif formats - but same result. Is there a minimum bit map image size or lat/long precision issue that might cause this Hi Tom, Thanks for the bug report. Based on the files you sent we found a MapCruncher bug that was causing the behavior you saw. We just released v3.02 which has a fix. Jeremy ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to draw to an offscreen texture (for screen effects and video feedback)

  I'd like to do some screen effects with a pixel shader and maybe also some video feedback stuff. I'm trying to figure out how to render to a texture (maybe an Offscreen Surface ) which I'll then be able to render back on to the graphics device's buffer. I'm not sure whether I should use GraphicsDevice.CreateOffscreenPlainSurface or GraphicsDevice.CreateRenderTarget or what sort of paramters I should feed to either of those. The once I've got a Surface created by one of those methods, I'm not sure how to set it as a render target... GraphicsDevice.GetRenderTarget with an index above 0 always throws an exception, so I'm guessing there is some way to explicitly add Surfaces to GraphicsDevices as a render target that I can't seem to figure out ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Keyboard/Mouse Input under XNA Framework

  From my reading, my understanding is that XNA Framework will use XINPUT. By design, XINPUT handles game controllers specifically and does not address keyboards, mice, or other HID devices. AFAIAA, current guidance given for DirectInput to XINPUT transition on the Windows platform is to handle keyboard and mouse input via traditional Windows messages or System.Windows.Forms events. However, we are now being advised that cross-platform application implementations built on XNA Framework will need to refrain from referencing the System.Windows.Forms namespace, and that ideally our application window will be managed by GraphicsComponent. Furthermore, on the 360, there would likely not be any Windows message stream from which to handle input fro ...Show All

• .NET Development Question about generics....

  I have several classes that inherit from abstract class B, which itself inherits from abstract class A. I want to be able to call the DoSomething() method from class C and class D and have that method then call the base methods from A and B. Now this I’ve achieved. However, I want to create a generic list class and get that list class to iterate through its collection and return the relevant strings from the calls DoSomething(). In this case I would want s1 = “ABCABCABC” and s2 = “ABDABDABD”. Is this possible Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

• .NET Development Not associated with trusted sql server connection

  Hi All... I'm using Visual Studio 2005, ASP.NET 2.0, SQL Server 2005 and Windows Server 2003. I'm trying to connect to SQL Server database via Windows Authentication and am failing with the the error "Not associated with trusted sql server connection". The odd thing is that I use that same Windows account to connect with Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio. It works fine with those tools, but fails once I try and connect with ASP.NET. Here's a representative of my connection statement: SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection("Server=192.168.1.47; Database=MyDatabase; UID=MyUser; PWD=MyPassword"); Any ideas Thanks!

  I recently rebuilt my development workstation. In the process I changed the computer name from MIS76 to MIS76M.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Extract claims from SAML token

  I am building an STS. I need to use the claims returned in the RSTR in two different contexts. I want to maintain (cache) the RSTR for subsequent service calls for authorization. Additionally, I want to extract the claims from the RSTR when it is returned and cache them locally for some client side authorization checks. Has anyone done anything similiar to this What is the best approach Among other things, I am stuck trying to figure out how to extract the claims from the RSTR. Thanks! Hello: The sample authored by Pablo Cibraro (see thread http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=708827&SiteID=1 ) shows how to get and cache the SAML token.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Required or optional fields.

  I have a data contract that looks like: private string _BasketIDField; [ DataMember (IsRequired= true )] public string BasketID { get { return this ._BasketIDField; } set { this ._BasketIDField = value ; } } But when I generated the proxy for the client I see: [System.Runtime.Serialization.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I make the capacitance for the collections box in propertys for the listbox, much larger(approx. 15000 items)

  Currently my listbox propertys for collection items in design mode, will hold 1,213 items I would like it to hold approx. 15,000-25,000 items...
