• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. My new game running on Beta 2 (Dr. Popper)

  Just wanted to let everyone know now that I have migrated my game to XNA Beta 2, and have put it up for download at http://www.bluerosegames.com . It's called Dr. Popper and it's a puzzle game similar to Pop'em, Jawbreaker, and Bubblet. I will post full source code for the game in a few days, but for now if you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks, Bill Hi Bill, I thought you might be interested in this thread that mentions a download link for the XNA runtimes. Bit less of a download than what you mention on your website. Cheers, Leaf. ...Show All

• SQL Server Only one CPU is used by the server

  How can I utilize all four CPU’s by the SQL server Configuration: HPDL385 2 x Intel Xenon 5160 3 GHz Dual Core, 4 GB Ram Windows Server 2005 SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition When running heavy SQL SP’s, the CPU load is only 25% nicely distributed over the four CPU’s as if only 1 CPU was present. Is it the operating system that creates this problem or the SQL server How does the SQL server react if the license somehow is configured wrong - is this the problem Regards You could set the processor affinity so sql server uses only one cpu and watch what happens, then allow it to use more and see the difference. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187104.aspx (i think m ...Show All

• Windows Forms bindingsource.addnew and .haschanges

  I have a form that loads in a new state, but the user may decide not to add a new row, but will want to edit an existing row. When the form opens with no ID for the form, my code calls: BindingSource.AddNew() Even if no changes are made to the form, calling: DirectCast (BindingSource.DataSource, DataSet).HasChanges() This will always come up as having changed. Is there any way to find if there have actually been any changes after AddNew is called. Mark Dahl Gavin, Thank you for the response. I really appreciate it. However, the following code is run when the form loads: '// Header refresh If FormHelper.DBInt(FormID) > 0 Then EmployeeTableAdapter.Fill( Me .Emplo ...Show All

• SQL Server restoring a db in SQL Server 2005

  Hello, I received a backup Sql Server file and I am trying to restore it. When trying to restore the backup using SQL Server 2000, I get the following message: "the backed-up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrade this database. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally." After doing some research online, I figured out that the backup I received must be from SQL Server 2005. Therefore, I installed SQL SErver 2005 on my laptop (so now I have both 2000 and 2005 on my laptop).. I tried to use the restore database option in SQL Server 2005 ( SQL Server Management Studio) to restore my backup, and I get the same error message (written again below) as I did ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Load Test with Web Unit Test Problem

  I'm trying to create a load test that runs a Web Unit Test, but I cannot see the test in the list of available tests. When I remove the HostType ( "ASP.NET" ) attribute from the test, I can see the test in the list. Unfortunately, the unit test is no longer runnable without that attribute. Does anyone have any suggestions Thanks, Kris Unfortunately we do not support running unit tests hosted in ASP.NET in a load test. The amount of cross-process traffic was too high to make these useful, so we decided to not support it (rather than invest the time to fully test the solution). Ed. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Need help programming the delete key and overwriting in text box

  I'm having yet another issue in my Notepad clone program. I just don't know how to program the darn delete key!

• Software Development for Windows Vista LogonUser returns ERROR_PASSWORD_MUST_CHANGE

So when password has been expired LogonUser fails and I couldn't get token to impersonate as a user from domain B. So NetUserChangePassword will be called with login name of user from do ...Show All
