• Software Development for Windows Vista DEP

  I am getting following error while installing an application developed in .net framework 1.1 on Vista Data Execution Prevention closed windows installer. First, see if a DEP-compatible version of the program is available by visiting the software publisher's website. If the publisher has not released an updated, DEP-compatible version of the program, you can turn off DEP for the program that was closed.

• SQL Server Questions to the Microsoft guys about the custom assembly

  Hi Guys, I created a custom assemy and added a reference to it in my report, but when I built the report, it told me that the system could not find the file. I followed the steps in the MSDN when I did the above steps. Can anybody tell me why Another question is about the location of the assmbly that I should copy. In the Debugging Custom Assemblie chapter on MSDN, it tells to copy my assembly to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE. But in Deploying a Custom Assembly chapter, it tells me to copy it to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies. Can Microsoft guys tell me which is correct Thanks in advance. Danny     ...Show All

• Visual Basic Reading a textfile into a listbox

  Using VisualBasic 2005, I am trying to save the items of a list box into a textfile so that the next time I load the form, I can read the items from the textfile back into the list box. My code, as shown below, gives me no errors, but the only thing that shows up in the listbox is “System.Windows.Forms.Listbox+ObjectCollection” I have spent hours researching and trying other methods, but this code is the closest I have come to being successful.

• SQL Server Named Calculations for measures with formula

  Hi, The details of background are avaliable in this prev post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=550862&SiteID=1 After edward melomed's advice I tried to create a named calculation for the respective Fact table. The problem is, let us say I have a two measures M1 and M2 in a cube. Now I want a named calculation say 'NM3' , that contains the formula M1 + M2.

So now how do I specify the current row or how do I specify something similar to a cursor I know that I can achieve this using calculated measures instea ...Show All

• Windows Forms Scroll Wheel Problem

  I have a form with a panel. The panel is filled with controls at run-time. The panel's scroll bars appear properly when the panel height exceeds form height. Scrolling the scroll wheel does not move the scroll bars - the scroll symbol appears appears at the cursor for up/down scroll. Opening another form and closing somehow makes the scroll wheel work properly. Any ideas on how to fix this Hi, May be the focus is not being set properly on this form. Or some other control is getting focus in the meantime. Did you try setting the focus back on to the form and tried it Thank you, Bhanu. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Animating Sprites

  Maybe not the best place to ask but I found some good sprites that I wan to play around with but they come in like 100 bitmaps for walking animation. What's the best way to handle this, import each bitmap as a texture and do some code to figure out when to show what texture Found this http://www.c-unit.com/tutorials/mdirectx/ t=46 but that's in one texture, how can I do it if I have a lot of bitmaps Typically it will always be better practice to load "sheets" of sprites as single textures rather than loading dozens of individual textures for single frames of animation. A much more effective way to deal with sprites is to be smart about using the source rectangle in calls to SpriteBatch.Draw(). ...Show All

• Windows Forms Including Child Forms

  I have created a main form (MainForm.h) and a form to be used as a search modal dialog box (FindForm.h) in the design editor. The problem is that I can either include FindForm in MainForm.h or include MainForm.h in FindForm.h, but not both. Example: -in MainForm.h #include FindForm.h //OK -in FindForm.h #include MainForm.h //Now members of FindForm cannot be found in MainForm Any help appreciated. Thanks for that. One more thing, though. Is there a way to get Forms Designer to automatically put the definitions into a .cpp file RIght now it just creates everything in a .h file. I took a look in Options, but couldn't find a way to change it. Is it neccessay to cut and paste the definiti ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Shader states, etc? (HLSL effects not working right)

  I'd like to call upon all the shader gurus here for some help :) I've been experimenting with writing some of my own effects, meaning I'm a HLSL newbie, and have been using NVIDIA's FX Composer to do my work. After producing a cool (albeit simple) effect, I decided to try using it in my little model viewer. The problem is that the way it shows up through XNA is different than the way it shows up in FX Composer, and I can't figure out why. You can find the code to my effect here: http://www.hiranipra.com/data/help_attach/gb1_shader.txt - it's just fairly simple environment mapping-ish stuff. A screenshot of what it looks like in FX Composer: http://www.hiranipra.com/data/help_attach/FxComposer1.jpg - it's hard to tell, but the ...Show All
