I'll try to get screenshots soon, but to give you an idea... He is viewed at a 45 degree angle from HIS left. and the problem is that some polys are missing, and his right leg(the "back" one) is visible in front of the left ( the "front" leg).

• Visual Studio How to use Analyze vss db?

  Hi, I've just started to use vss. Well, when I installed it, a default database "common" is also created. I added couple of projects in this database. And analyze vss db worked just fine. Then, I created a second database. My question is how can I run analyze vss db for this second database Thanks. Hi I typically run analyze by opening a command window and browsing to the location of the install SourceSafe componets that include analyze.exe (in 6.0 typical this is ..\vss\win32) Then run analyze path to the database (e.g. analyze -f c:\vss\data) From the nature of your question I figure you might be running analyze from a short cut in program files menu.

• SQL Server SSIS Package Configuration Filter

  We have more than 100 packages which referenced many of the same data sources. In ideal situation, we would like to create three master filters based on the dev, test, and prod servers and all packages can just reference the same filters. However since one package normally only use a subset of master connections defined in the configuration files, if only those subset of connections are set up in the package, when the package is first open in BIDS, lots of errors will pop up saying that it could not find the connections defined in the configuration files. Even though this will not cost runtime error, it is still very annoying. Does anyone have better ideas on how to handle this Jane2006 wrote: T ...Show All

• Visual C++ vector::resize causes floating point exception

  Hello, I'm hoping for a reality check here. The following program generates a floating point exception in the vector::resize call. I compiled it under VC 2005 using the command line in the comment below. I've disassembled the executable and found that vector::resize creates a default Point object which is then copied to the new empty elements at the end of the vector. But note that the Point constructor doesn't initialize the x and y members. This means the bits are garbage, and vector::resize will copy the garbage to the new elements. This is no biggie because I don't use the uninitialized elements. However, the problem is that the compiler uses the floating point processor to copy the doubles. Whe ...Show All
