• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel Cell Format Behavior

  Hi all!! Me one more time... Well I haven't see before this behavior, I have an Excel sheet that recives data from a Database, of course with VSTO 2005, some of this data are Excel's formulas, well if the cell is formated as text it don't uses the formula and no calc is performed, but if the cell is formatted as general it works well, the question here is: I'm using C# with an Excel SmartDoc, when I put the database value on the cell I'm changing the NumberFormat property to "General", but when I review the cell's format it has no change... Someone has any idea Francisco, you probably need to supply a bit more context. I've just tried your exact code listed above, and it works fine for me, every time. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA without the content pipeline

  Hi I saw from shawns blog that the content pipeline will not be included in the XNA beta 30 aug. Isn't this severly crippling the package. The conent pipeline seems to be so tightly coupled with the design of XNA that you might as well delay the whole launch. But I might be to pesimistic here What is really included in the first release Regards Joachim It seems increasingly like there will be no interim beta release including the content pipeline. That seems like a pretty silly situation since you guys keep mentioning that part of the point of the beta is to get developer feedback and if we don't have access to the content pipeline (which is a major portion of the framework and arguably the ...Show All

  Hi all, I has few fx effect problem. Hope somebody help. Q1. How to move texture uv with fx Q2. How to create smooth effect Please give to some suggestion about create smooth effect with fx. Best Regards, Q1. How to move texture uv with fx If you're using a vertex or pixel shader then the UV texture coordinate is just a numerical input - you can manipulate it (move/scale/distort..) as you see fit. The only potential complication is you can run into dependent reads. Q2. How to create smooth effect Please give to some suggestion about create smooth effect with fx. You'll need to provide a lot more information about what you want. A smooth effect could be various forms of shading (D3D will gi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) .Net Remoting two times faster than WCF!

  In our healthcare enterprise multitier application the .Net Remoting transports are two times faster then WCF(we have plugable client/server transports): Measuring results for the same couple of client server requests: -> Tcp Remoting: 3.4 seconds -> Http Remoting (IIS-Hosted): 3.5 seconds -> Tcp WCF: 6.5 seconds -> Http WCF (IIS-Hosted): 7.3 seconds -> Http WCF (IIS-Hosted) with MTOM: 10.3 seconds Security: We just use authentication by NTLM Serialization: We use the NetDataContractSerializer, and not the DataContractSerializer (RPC style) Can WCF be tuned to be as fast as remoting The use of MTOM which replaces text by binary data makes the communication slower.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Text thumbnails & zoom

  Hi everyone out there. I wanted to know if there is native support in WPF for scaling a text file, so that can I quickly get a thumbnail with the general text structure, and even support for using that visual representation like a regular image (e.g. rotate it, fade it away, etc). Thx in advance, Alan I guess I would like to manipulate it as a text (i.e. TextBlock) all along the way. Can I apply effects such as animation to a TextBlock Cheers, Alan ...Show All

• Gadgets OT: Suggestions about gallery.live.com

  Several things stand out about this site, now that people are starting to use it. So, here's some suggestions: Implement some sort of language filtering. Although I have nothing against the use of non-English and think it's actually commendable than MS allowing it, I would rather filter out Gadgets that are of no use to me. Alternatively allow multiple languages in the Gadget description, or some form of language translation. Improve Gadget images. It would be great if you could attach screenshots, as well as the 100x100 icon. Do something about Gadget spam. "Vamos Strip Player" springs to mind, I'd hate to think how many times it's posted. Remove the 1000 character limit on the description field, and allow it to be rich text ...Show All
