• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XBOX360 DirectX Graphics Caps?

  Can someone post, or let me know where I can find a listing of the XBOX360's Graphics Capabilities: like those displayed under "Graphics Adapters" in the DirectX Caps Viewer on Windows Jon Watte wrote: CanAutoGenerateMipMap : False That's quite surprising! Given it has cool render-to-texture functions, actually generating the MIP maps using target rendering would be a snap. Annoying if you have to do it yourself. Auto mipmap generation is a driver feature rather than something directly in the hardware (it's usually implemented as a layer on top of render-to-texture) and it's not something we had time to get working in a fully generic way the same as it works on Windows. We do genera ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with Forms Security Extension Sample - RS 2005

  I am attempting to deploy the sample Security Extensions. When I navigate to <machinename>/reports in IE, it works fine and I am able to register the administrator. The user exists in the table correctly, but I am unable to login as the user. It keeps going back to the same uilogon.aspx redirect page.

• Visual Basic Building A Screen Saver

  Hello, I am trying to build a screen saver for our Marketing department at work. It is based around one single Flash control on the form. Problem: The Flash control doesn't support a MouseMove event, to exit the screen saver when someone moves the mouse. I've tried a few things, like sitting a text box on top of the control, and putting Flash into a user control - no such luck. What happens though is that if the mouse pointer is already hovering over where the form appears (I.E. outside the flash control) when one runs it, it immediately exits, when the mouse hasn't actually moved! Also, I want to hide the mouse pointer when the form runs. Does anyone know how to do these things Regards ...Show All

• SQL Server Time on Column Chart Y-Axis

  I'm trying to create a column chart (with the bars rising vertically) in Reporting Services 2000.  The X-Axis should show dates, and the Y-Axis should show times (for example, 6/7/2006 on x-axis, 04:25 on y-axis).  I don't need the full date to show on the y-axis, just the time. My data (based on a stored proc) looks like: Post Date        FinishTime ----------         ------------------------------- 06/01/2006     06/02/2006 05:37:04 AM Using a Format function, I can get the FinishTime to look like just "05:37 AM" if I am putting the data into a table control on the report, but I can't get the time to show up in the Y-axis of a column chart on the report. On the chart, I just get ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Explanation of branching and normal workflow

  Can someone describe more about how branching works from a developers perspective Or is there already information about this somewhere that I haven't found This would be very useful for us coming from ClearCase / Subversion / some other version control system. What I really would like to see is an article or blogpost about how two developers working with a project/solution would do to create a branch, let one developer use this branch for a few days while the other is continuing on the normal main branch. After a few days a merge should be done. I would like to see the steps necessary together with an explanation why this is the best way to do it if there is more than one way. Suggested outline: - Assume both developers has thei ...Show All

• SQL Server Foreign Key Constraints

  When following a script to create some tables and constraints, it is recommended that you name the FK constraint Otherwise it appears with numbers after it. Is this the way 2005 creates them or has this always been the naming convention kat I suggest that you do, otherwise they're named for you in a unique way (but not in a meaningfull for a human). If you name yourself then it'd be much more meaningfull to you and would be easier to code rest. ie: fk_CustomerId at a glance one could say that it is an FK constraint connecting Orders rows to 'parent' Customer and it's always good to have naming standard. ...Show All
