• SQL Server Temp Tables

  Okay i am not sure if i am doing this right but if i am i need help making each table unique so that the same report can be ran by more than one perosn at a time... i am working on some reports and using stored procedures to do this... in my final SP that populates the report it pulls from two other SPs: SP1, SP2. I made these first two SP make global temp tables so that i can use the temp tables they make in my final SP. I was wondering if they is a way to make it so either i don't have to use temp tables or if i can make each table have a unique name. WoFe: This doesn't sound right. Normally, I use temp tables but not global temp tables. Now, I understand that you need the tables to have proper scope so other stored procedure ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Meshes near eachother misrendering.

  Hello all once again, I have what appears to be a simple problem that's not so simple.  It is best described with a picture: (http://www.zooptek.net/misrender.gif)   At the bottom, you will see that I have two rectangular blocks (they have depth, not billboards or 2D rectangles).  On one side, it is gray.  On the others, they are red.  When I place one beside the other, as indicated by the bottom-most arrow with the red front face of the left one touching the back of the right block, they get the weird rendering problems shown at the top of the picture.  That is where the middle question mark is pointing to.  A simular rendering problem shows up when I have them side b ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2005 and Visual SourceSafe Nightmare

  It seems that we cannot do anything in Visual Studio 2005 without surreptitiously going out to SourceSafe and churning for 3-5 minutes.  Granted we have (unavoidably) made the mistake of placing the SourceSafe database on a network file share -- it does not explain these covert and constant SourceControl accesses. For example, loading the project does something like "verifying source control".  Why do we need to verify anything and why does it take so long   I can launch SourceSafe myself and verify faster than the IDE can. Refreshing the solution (recursively) appears to be doing just that -- RECURSIVELY refreshing the solution -- meaning the refresh of the SLN file causes a refresh of the child projects, and the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Setting a Clipping region

  I need to make a clipping region like the mini-map on need for speed. What I plan on doing is this. Draw the map on a texture, then creat a clipping region and just show whats in the map circle, clipping off whats on the outside. Does anyone know how to do this or links to achieve this Thanks, Nick nick5454 wrote: Is there any plan to simply this at all It seems overly complicated to do something so simple. Yes and no. No because there is no simple way to say "Render this here in this shape" in XNA/C#/DirectX. You have to build that functionality, or grab someone else's component that does. Yes it is easy because you could just render a RenderTar ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Remote Desktop still an issue

  According to some MS documents (e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/vista/services.mspx), it should be possible to use CreateProcessAsUser() API in a Vista service to create a process in user session.

But can anybody tell me how to Clear the screen after using the GDIs to draw some polygons...

So, What is the exact Command to Clear that Window that the polygons were drawn in... ... ... ... OK, Now, here's the problems... I've finally started to get into Direct3D and DirectX...

• Visual C# How to read FileContents format from a DataObject?

  I've spent a whole lot of time finding a solution to this bug, but came up with nothing. My problem is, I need to write an application that can read the data that gets dropped onto its window, from the "FileContents" format of the IDataObject. This is discussed in the context of Outlook sometimes, I have another application that generates such data. Using the official way of .NET, IDataObject.GetData("FileContents") should return the information I want, but it always returns null. So .NET (2.0 at least) itself isn't capable of handling such data (is this a bug or just a misfeature ). Then I found a posting that said this can only be done outside of .NET, but with no code sample. So this is definitely too high for me. An ...Show All

• Visual C# One question about none-repeated random numbers generation by using C# and C.

  Dear all, I wanna ask you one question about random number generation by using C and C#, and which is better according to my requirements about generating a large set of non-repeating random numbers, e.g. 10,000,000. In order to make our topic much clear and quicker be followed up, I'd love introduce my basic understanding of random numbers definitions in C. If there are something misleading, I will be corrected and restart from the right point of view. From my current information, Random means that there is an equal chance for each of all possible numbers in the range. In other words, if one gets a 7, the next time 7 should still be one of the possiblilities, it should not be excluded. Random numbers can repeat. And it can be finished by ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to create Arrow Line Control?

  Hi, all. If you ever used visio, you have seen the arrow link. You can put arrow link between two text boxes or image boxes. I want to create the arrow as a custom control so user can select arrow on the form and can drag it/link between two picture boxes. Does any one knows about this Any info will help! Thank you. Well, that's a bit of a bummer, please make sure you state your language preference on non-language specific forums like "Windows Forms". It shouldn't be too hard to translate the code, I've avoided any specific VB.NET short-cut. I guess what I'd tried to show in that code is that you don't have to focus on the idea of having to exactly click the "line control". Generically, t ...Show All
