• SQL Server SQL Server vs. XML Configurations

  I have been experimenting with both XML and SQL Server Configurations. Management would really like to go with the SQL Server Configurations, but I seem to be having problems with them. The main goal is to be able to create a configuration for each connection and have every package refer to its specific configuration, therefore in the future we could change say our SA password and only have to update this in a few places rather than for every package. In order to experiment with the problem I am having I developed 2 identical packages, except one uses SQL Server Configurations and the other uses XML. The configurations save the exact same properties. With the XML package I can go into the configuration file and change say the passwor ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Create "Custom SetState" activity

  Hi Im am trying to create my own SetState activity. My goal is that the activity is to validate a property on the workflow and the go to 1 of 2 states defined on my CheckParameterAndGoToState Activity. I have look at the SetState with reflectot and have created my own version of the internal StateDropDownEditor which allows my new activity to have two TargetStateProperties. This works.

Which one should "look at" eg. with reflector Thanks in regards Anders Are you using a custom CompositeActivity ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bug Fixes

  Hi, Being a developer I know that writing software is a tedious business. I would just like to know how much time is spent by the WPF team going through bugs at the official bug logging site ( connect.microsoft.com) The reason why I am asking is because I logged a few bugs that are really critical for the application we are developing, and I would like a "timeline" as how long the whole process would take before the changes is added in a next CTP (which already to long to wait) or maybe a patch Thank you very much, Jaco Hi, https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=178827&SiteID=212 https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx Feedbac ...Show All

• .NET Development AppDomain problem when starting a .NET 2.0 application using DDE

  I am experiencing a strange problem and was wondering if anyone could give me insight. First of all, has anything changed in .NET 2.0 with respect to how the shell starts applications using DDE (on double clicking of a file) Basically (I could provide more details if needed), my problem is that when I start my application by double clicking on a file associated with it, some type information seems to not be shared between AppDomains. More specifically, code in app domain A calls a function foo() which creates a value of type MyType in app domain B, then the code in A casts the return value to MyType. app domain B MyType a = foo() as MyType; When I start the application by double clicking on a file, the value of 'a' after the cast is nu ...Show All

• SQL Server problem with rank on freetexttable

  Hello, I'm having a problem that I'm hoping one of the Sql Server guru's on this forum can help me with. This applies to SQL Server 2005. I'm working on an appliction that used the FTE index ranking feature. We're having a problem that all of the rank values start coming back as ZERO. If we rebuild the index for the effected table, the rank values start working, but eventually it stops working again. Recently, the rank values have been reverting to zero within a minute of the rebuild. For reference, below is the sql code that we are using to get our search results. select row_number () over ( order by RANK DESC ) as rowNumber , [KEY] , rank from freetexttable ( searchIndex , *, 'outlook' ) ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How can I directly stop drawing a pixel?

  Maybe it's a very essential question but... Which is the statement in the pixel shader to stop drawing a pixel Stopping it that way would have any negative effect Thanks The HLSL clip function will discard a pixel if any component of its input is less than zero. This maps to the texkill instruction. Yes, texkill prevents all updates to the render target, and to the depth and stencil buffers. Note that the rest of the pixel shader still executes (except, maybe, on ps_3_0 targets where you have true conditional statements - someone will have to look this up though I'm not sure if this is the case); the only change is that its output isn't written to the frame buffer. ...Show All
