• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3d collision detection

  are there any tutorials on how to do 3d collision detection. like between one model and another (and not with boxes... but complex collision detection) currently, i have a camera that walks around 1st person. I would like to give it a boundingbox or something like that. I also have the spaceship model from the spaceship demo game on the scene. I am not currently dealing with the Y axis, but i would like to detect collisions between the camera's boundingbox and the spaceship. any help would be great. thanks If you are familiar to the boxes collision (in pure math, not by the Help example) you have gone more than the halfway. But it sounds strange to me the full 3d XNA Help collision example does not cov ...Show All

• SQL Server Copy database compability

  Hi, In sql 2000 was possible to copy entire database objects from one db to another. This includes tables, pk, indexes, views, sp, functions, logins and so on. This is very usefull because at the same time it creates a full log with entire database scripting, it can be used to track changes in databases. In sql 2005, I can't find a solution like this. Someone have an idea to this Hi Even in SQL2005 you can copy whole database with complete schema intact using SSIS (Transfer database task). Thanx ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deploy error: User does not have permission to run DBCC auditevent

  I am wondering if anyone has run into this error when trying to deploy a Database to server environment not locally. User does not have permission to run DBCC auditevent I have tried cutting out permissions, users, even everything but the table objects and nothing has worked. If anyone can give any insight into this error I would appreciate the help. Yes, if you have different users in the project vs. the target we will always script out the differences in users, roles, etc. Permissions will always be in the permissions.sql post-deploy script and will simply be those that were imported initially. Sounds like you found the correct work-around to take care of your situation. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Check if the application has modal dialog open over

  Hello. I have a WinForms application which check for some condition each second (windows timer). Once a condition is true it has to refresh data and start processing. However, in the case there is some action like modal dialog or message box opened I need to wait until user closes it and then start reloading. The same behavior should be done when the application is not active. What i do once the condition is reached is looking for all top level window that belong to the my application's process and compare them with my main form's handle. If neither match i assume there is some modal dialog / message box is opened. My problem is that there are more than one top level windows opened for my .NET application although i created only one. Is it ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office .NET 2.0 Addins compatibility (KB907417) to pre-Office2003 versions

  Dear all, I am a developer of IME (Input Method Editor) and I have tried to integrate IME with .NET 2.0 based GUI via managed C++. It worked fine on Office 2007. To Word 2003 and Excel 2003, it requires KB907417 ( http://support.microsoft.com/ scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B907417&x=5&y=8 ) to load the IME DLL normally. To pre-Office 2003 versions, however, there's no hotfix to make them support .NET 2.0 based DLL. Since Office 2003 allows users to keep older version of Word/Excel/PowerPoint, it dramatically worked on Word/Excel XP/2000 if there's also a patched Office 2003 on the same environment, although only Office 2003's Addins folder, which is "Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Addins", has the patched " ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Loading November CTP for WPF and WCF on production system

• Visual Studio Team System Still a bit slow opening projects

  Hello, As mentioned before, the import schema process is extremely fast now, which was pleasantly surprising, however opening an existing project with lots (>5,000) of objects still takes a long time. This is also without using source control and so I'm guessing it would take up to 10 minutes to open if I put my project into TFS / VSS. Is there any way to speed up the opening process, e.g. by disabling particular schema checks when first opening the project I just put the project into TFS and was surprised to see it wasn't much slower than being unbound, so that was interesting :-) It still does take about 4 minutes to load up though, so does anyone know any uneccessary startup checks I can disab ...Show All
