• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sprites drawing problem

  Hi, I'm having a problem while drawing sprites with D3DXSprite->Draw(). The images are drawed diferently from the original image. It's seems to be kind of blured. I'm using fullscreen (set to 1024x768), and the image size is 1024x1024 (I'm only displaying part of the image (1024x200). Another thing. I'm drawing some text with DrawText() and the text seems also to be blured. Any ideas Ty Sounds like you are seeing aliasing problem based on scaling your image. That's not unexpected. You can see something similar with the bug in the "Simple 2D" sample in the SDK. ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Builder - Data Model(Security)

  Hi all I have created security roles that restrict access to a certain Dimension and a member therein. The security works fine when the users finened in it runs a report: The data is accordingley ristricted. The problem is when those same users run Report Builder and create a report, those members are no longer restricted and they have acces to absoluteley all data from the cubes. Is there some way that I can force the Data Model to follow the cube's security roles Any help is much appreciated... Gerhard Davids EDIT: I have found that it uses the wrong user when opening report builder. For some reason it uses my windows account instead of the one I used to log onto report manager. This is way the security isnt working ...Show All

• .NET Development There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first.

  I have a rather large ASP-NET-2.0 project that I've been developing for some time. I'm using System.Data.Common classes for all of my data access, and SQL-2005 as my provider. Up to and including Beta-2, everything was working just fine and dandy. Then, with the release of RC1, I suddenly started to get the following error:: There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first. This totally threw me, but I dutifuly started to trace all of my connections & readers to make sure I was closing & disposing of them properly, and all appears to be correct. After a bunch of tedious and very time-consuming debugging, I've come to the conclusion that from RC1 onwards, the framework is not correctly ...Show All

• Windows Forms Related Question

  I played with this a little myself. In VS2005 the ability to have two message loops on two seperate threads is no longer available "out of the box". There probably weren't many folks who needed this -- and that's your primary issue here. I'd run the two windows in two seperate processes. Interprocess communication used to be horribly difficult but in .net it's pretty easy and really fast too. Of course you'll need two instances of the IDE to debug it but it sounds like you are already setup for that. As dual monitor systems are becoming extremely common do we get better support in Vista or .net 3.0 I love my dual monitors... But they can be really irritating. Every morning I have to reset screen settings because XP can ...Show All

• Windows Forms Control values do not refresh

  I have 2 projects: Project 1: A strongly typed dataset with a table etc. I have some code in the ColumnChanged event that looks like this: Select Case e.Column.ColumnName Case Me.columnDISCOUNT.ColumnName Dim r As REQUEST_LINERow = CType(e.Row, REQUEST_LINERow) r.UNIT_COST = r.LINE_PRICE * r.DISCOUNT End Select Project 2: A windows form that has the above dataset placed on it, a BindingSource (bound to the dataset) and several textboxes (bound to the BindingSource). When the user changes the discount text box (by tying a new value). I would expect the Unit Cost text box to update with the newly calculated value as a result of the ColumnChanged event. However the new value does not appear. The new value howev ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Can I post to a URL without navigating using IWebBrowser2 ?

  Hi, What I am trying to do is this. As and when a user goes to a new site in IE, I just want to post some of the data from the page to a server without any response from it so that the user can continue what he is doing. I have written almost everything......as a BHO in which I have the handle to IWebBrowser2. I tried using Navigate() but it seems to "navigate" to the url even though there is no response. And this becomes an infinite post-back to server. I am wondering whether from my current page I could post the data without navigating to the url using IWebBrowser2 control. I need this urgently. So kindly give me some ideas (code snippets would be useful too) Thanks, Andy ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Setting a Value Based on Multiple Fields in a Bug Work Item

  I have 2 drop down fields in my bug work item that I want to use to determine the value of a 3rd (read-only) field. Is there any way to do this I know I can set the value of 1 field based on another, but there doesn't seem to be any way to use the value of 2 fields to set a 3rd. For example, I have a bug defect level (catastrophic | critical | marginal ....) and a bug probability level (frequent | probable | occasional ....). I want to use those two fields to set the priority of the bug. So if defect = catastrophic and probability = frequent, then priority should be automatically set to immediate. Thanks, Karen The only way I think it can be done is with eventing service in WorkItemChanged and ...Show All
