• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Open Source Engines Or DirectX?

  Do You Prefer To Use Graphics Engine Or Start From Zero With DirectX Like your other question - this depends on what you want to do. A lot of AAA games now use engines (usually million dollar ones) because writing a high performance modern engine is a huge multi year large team job. It usually means you can get your game or prototype up and running much quicker. Many beginners never ship anything becuase of this curve. If you want to learn about how to do the nitty gritty details or you think you have a requirement the engine can't deal with then write your own. Though if you have the source for the engine, starting with the engine and modifying it for your requirements is also an option. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Setting Dataview Rowfilter or Sort has no effect

  I have a really weird problem in my code. I have the following piece of code. Dim MyDS As DataSet = dsOrder.Copy Dim dvOrderJOT As New DataView dvOrderJOT = MyDS.Tables(1).DefaultView 'Point 1 dvOrderJOT.RowFilter = "ItemLogistics=2" dvOrderJOT.Sort = "ItemSupplier" After Point 1, the dvOrderJOT has 3 rows, two of them has ItemLogistics as 2, one has it as 1 (this is an integer field). After the RowFilter is executed on the following row, the dvOrderJOT still has the same 3 rows. How on earth is that possible I've used the same technique elsewhere in my App with great success, although then the dataview was bound to a Datagrid and the filter was set on a string field. How could I debug ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Viewer webpart did not work in wss 3.0

  Hi, I just installed a fresh lab machine with WSS 3.0 and SQL 2005. I registered the RS web parts. In the home page I added the Reports Explorer and the Report viewer web parts.

Any ideas what could be the problem Any hints on how to investigate this is also much appreciated. Thanks, Dan Take a look at this; ...Show All
