Commerce Server Commerce Server 2007 Catalog Query BizTalk adapter
Hi, Is this XMl below correct to query the catalog for a prodcut by VariantId <CommerceServerCatalogQuery ProductCatalog="Default" SearchClause="CTLG.VariantId = '123456789'" /> I am not sure if the search clause is correct. I am using CTLG as catalog and then VariadId as the field to search on. Thanks Dom Hi Alan, Thank you for your help. The problem I had was that the catalog has multi language and it would not return the variantId if the product was not stored in other languages. So I added the product in the different languages the catalog supported and the VariantId returned Ok with the product. I do have another question. I am trying to update the catalog products with the Lo ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions Using the Help in C# Express
I'm using C# Express Edition, and when I do searches, I'd like to only see the C# references. Is there a reason why with EVERY link I click on it defaults to all languages, and a way that I can change that to be ONLY C# I've been through the different options that I can find, but can see nothing that will mark this as being my preferred language. Thank you in advance. Hi, These forums are meant for posting questions related to programming issues in c#.net. So, please post questions related to the same. Thank you, Bhanu. ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Learning a programming language AND game programming concepts simultaneously a pipe dream?
I'm tryig to learn C# programming with the aim of creating games, but boy is it a struggle. I think the stumbling block for most people (and I include myself in this group) whose primary interest in programming is games related, is that a large conceptual leap is required between document-based programming and real-time programming - and there simply isn't any sufficient discussion or tutorials explaining the fundamentals of the concept to ease the transition. The basic problem is anyone who starts out learning a language like C# pretty much finds themself with nothing but books teaching the language from the perspective of programming forms, event-handlers, interacting with controls and basically looking at exer ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Basic UDDI question

I have a Win 2k3 Server Enterprise install of UDDI up and running without issue. I need to publish a large number of services >200 to UDDI.

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. X file format
Can anyone point me to reference on the X file format. I can't seem to locate it in the Direct X SDK (August), and the information I am finding online is woefully out of date and/or incomplete. Also, I understand the content pipeline will not be available in the initial beta of XNA Game Studio Express, can anyone tell me if there are major changes to the X file format I should be aware of I'm writing some tools so I can use Houdini with XNA and I'd like to get as much information about the X file format as possible so I can deternine whether I can use it or should invest the time in a file format of my own.

Visual Basic Tables In Drop Down List Boxes?
Is it possible to show a table for a SQL Server in a Drop Down List box You can show the field contents of a SQL table in a drop down list. A drop down list shows a single item whereas a SQL table contains many different fields. So you have two options here - use a control which can show multiple items - such as a datagridview control which enables you to show all the contents of a table. Decide on which field from the database table you wish to show in the drop down list (ie. one field from the table mapping to one drop down list) In you select statement populate a field which is a single text field that is an amalgamation of the other fields in the table perhaps separated by commas - this field returned in the dataset is ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Sorting a ListBox of strings
Hey, This really should be incredibly easy to do but all I can find is huge explanations of how to use CollectionViews, Observable whatnots, SortDescriptions etc. In code, I want to be able to add ["Cat", "Dog", "Ant", "Bat"] to a ListBox, then be able to sort them... I've looked at SortDescriptions but have no idea what the first argument needs to be. Exceptions are thrown when i try things like "Content", "Name", "Text"... what properties to simple strings have I really do want to avoid XAML for this bit as it isn't ideal, code, a couple of lines... Thanks, Adam Miles Just use a SortDescription whose PropertyName is emp ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Major Game and GameComponent class refinement ideas
I've posted some extensive ideas on possible ways the core XNA game components could be refactored to solve some of the common complaints & issues I've seen discussed here. https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=195718&SiteID=226 I'd really like to hear what other people think and perhaps start a bit of usefull discussion here regarding the direction the XNA Game/GameComponent/etc framework is taking. Personally I would like to see all the component "Draw" code refactored into a subsystem with sortable layers (with the consequence of giving up design time support), but I'm curious what other people think. To me, point #1 and 3# is valid but #2 is not. My option is that the drawing thing is really ...Show All

.NET Development pooling large objects
Hi, I need to know how can I pool a large object , since I have a few memory (only 512 RAM) and need to allocate a large arraylist in it. help me please , Thanks in advance, Aya. Hi Aya The amount of physical RAM doesn't have a bearing on how much memory your application can allocate, since the OS uses 2GB of Virtual Memory by default on x86. Generally there is less than 2GB of contiguous address space due to VM fragmentation by the OS, so you won't be able to allocate arrays that large (incidentally, this is true for all 32-bit Windows processes, native and managed). Pooling large objects is for the case where you have many short-lived objects larger than 85000 bytes. Since the GC d ...Show All
Windows Live Developer Forums map.GetCenter seemed to return wrong value
I thought that map.GetCenter was returning wrong values (to see the effect use http://www.svrsig.org/cgi-bin/gemap.cgi lat=52&long=-4&zoom=6 which places Edwinsford at the centre. Move the mouse over the map and the centre is shown to be 52deg4'2.2"N instead of 52degN. The problem is that the javascript function 'parseInt()' returns 4 instead of zero for the argument parseInt(4.547473508864641e-13). Now how do I sort that out The relevant finction is: function latmin(cin) {); var ain = 0; var bin = 0; if (cin>0) { ain = (60*cin) % 60; bin = (36000*cin) % 600; return " "+parseInt(cin)+"°"+parseInt(ain)+"'"+parseInt(bin/10)+'.'+parseInt((bin) % 10)+'"N'; } cin = -cin; ai ...Show All
