• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XAML Xml Binding

  Is it possible to work a master-detail where the detail gets it's Xml data from a different part of the tree and not a direct child of the original master element. For example, I want to show a category list, and selecting a category will show me the reports in that category. However a report can be in more than one category. Ideally I don't want to duplicate the report information so I want Xml that looks like: <reports> <categories> <category name="cat1"> <reports> <report key="rep1" /> <report key="rep2" /> </reports> </category> <category name="cat2"> <reports> ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Why use shaders?

  This is probably a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. I've been programming computers for almost 20 years, so I'm not new to this, but I am new to 3d game programming. I downloaded RenderMonkey, and Nvidia FX Composer, and I see that really cool effects can be made with shaders...but the gap in my knowledge is...why, and when. I see that ATI has a shader demo where they take a flat disc and mod it into a speaker shape and then make it pulse like a real speaker using shaders. So...here's the question...is it more processor-friendly to make a flat disc and then shader it to the shape I need than to make model in the right shape in the first place In their demo, they take a flat disc and "shader" it to a speaker shape ...Show All

• Visual Basic upgrade VB6 to .Net

  Hi, I am upgrading VB6 to VB.Net. I get an Error message: "Type AxMSComctlLib.AxListView is not defined". How could I solve this problem Thanks in advance. Do you mean you have upgraded a project from vb6 to vb.net it sounds like AxMSComctlLib is a VB6 component (com object ) which cannot be loaded in .net. Do a google search for AxMSComctlLib and you'll find loads of links to the same problem you're having. the upgrade wizard is fairly rubbish, most people seem to reccomend re-writing an app for .net rather than upgrading it ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Linking with C++ static library in native C++ smart device projet

  I used to have a PocketPC client application communicating with a desktop C++ server. Now, I'm porting the server to PocketPC so the whole thing can work on the PDA without an internet connection.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using WebService Activities in a Composite Activity (promoting parameters)

  folks, i am trying to use a invokeWebService within a composite activity. the invokeWebService Activity requires the specification of a ProxyClass and a MethodName which is not known when designing the composite activity (but when using the composite activity within another workflow). Hence, I tried to promote the parameters to the composite activity using ActivityBind but the compiler claims that ProxyClass/MethodName are meta properties which are required to be bound at design time. Just to clarify, I want to bind ProxyClass/MethodName at design time, but when designing the workflow using the composite activity and not when designing the composite activity itself. I hope I could explain my problem somewhat clear. any help would be appr ...Show All
