• Community Chat Microsoft and its 'new' Halo: Wars RTS Game, and Derelict Studios

  Well, as most have probably heard, Microsoft has come out with a 'new' Real Time Strategy game called Halo: Wars, a game to be made for the X-Box 360. I quote 'new', because it is not a new idea, nor shall all the credit go to those people who work in Microsoft. A Modification for the game C&C Generals, called Halogen, was a mod in the works for approximatly 3 years, where people from the community pitched in numerous hours of work and labour for the good of the  community, and a playable release was soon to come for those of us desperate to download it. Microsoft came in close to before the release and forced the memebers of Derelict Studios to close down Halogen and halt all progress on the game, and close down the ...Show All

• SQL Server New to IS -- please help me!!

  Hi i am new to IS and I have been trying to use conditional split but cannot get the syntax to work. Can someone please tell me where i can find a syntax guide or samples especially on how to make the datetime funnction and maths function work. And, am I correct that the syntax is not as simple as they look in the conditional split transformation editor thanks!!! thank you darren. ok basically i am looking for the logic of the syntax. For example when i typed SUBSTRING(firstname,1,1) == "A" into the conditional split editor column, the parser can recognize this because the syntax itself is correct.

• Gadgets Bandwidth Monitor

  Does anyone if it is possible to create a bandwith monitor sidebar gadget and if so has anyone got any examples I could look at. Regards Ian For some unknown reason, MS locked it down. God alone knows why! I don't think your problem is getting access to WMI static data, but NIC information. Install WMI Tools and run WMI CMI Studio, see if you can get access to the WMI entries as the current user (click on the Binoculars icon to search for it). I suspect you can't. Read this , see if it helps. The main WMI documentation is here , which mentions Vista - you've probably already read it though. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Locked vs open activities in workflow design time

  Hi! I have a workflow project with a few custom activities. All my activities derive from a custom class which derives from SequenceActivity. It works fine when running but in the main flow, in design time, a couple of my activities are just default icons while others are expandable (plus sign on control and when opened all contained controls are showed with small locks). I would like all my controls to be non-expandable and wonder why there is a difference All my controls have been built the same way but I guess I must have changed something Thanks for your help, Markus Thanks Michelle, great example!! Still curios though why some of my activities are expandable, others not, since th ...Show All

  I can edit day, month and year in my DateTimePicker. If I enter the DateTimePicker, then editing position is "day". Then I move to editing position "month" and leave the control with tab. Next time I enter the DateTimePicker editing position is still "month". How can I achieve, that editing position is always "day" if the DateTimePicker is entered Your calculation for the LParam argument isn't correct.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA methods

  Hi, This is my first post here. My English is not good, so excuse me for any mistake you could find :). OK, I have been programming with unmanaged DirectX for some years and I now I just started learning XNA, not to migrate from DX, but just to know a new technology. XNA is relly a fantastic tool, but I admit I felt a great impact when I saw the XNA code for the first time (... but nothing that could not be cleared with a bit of patience :) ). There is a huge difference between unmanaged DirectX (native C++) and XNA (C#). OK, lets to the doubts: The XNA Game Studio Express Documentation shows 5 main methods that make the game works. They are: Initialize, LoadGraphicsContent, UnloadGraphicsContent, Update and Draw. What ar ...Show All
