• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XBox 360 hard drive question for MS staff - semi off topic

  With all the great new offerings out or coming soon for the 360: XBox Live Video Marketplace, XNA game creation, and the recently announced IPTV, the poor little 20GB hard drive's days look numbered. Is MS planning to release a larger hard drive for the 360 I'm pretty sure that many people (including myself) would be very interested in one. I don't want to replace my box either. I wish we could write to external USB hard drives and flash drives rather than using them read only. The more we can comfortably store, the more we might buy... ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Somehow deriving an AddPolygon() from a Live Search Collection

  Dear Group, I've recently begun to experiment with Virtual Earth. I do a fair amount of JavaScript programming in my real job; so I created a rudimentary script to allow me to plot a polygon representing a political district in my city. I'm an alderman running for re-election and I got interested in Virtual Earth as a means to make an on-line map of aldermanic districts. Anyway, here is my rudimentary page: http://www.swerbach.com/Neenah3rd/NeenahAldermanicDistricts1and3.htm Summary of functions: Start: Start recording mouse click positions as LatLong pairs Stop: Stop recording mouse clicks Del Last Line: Remove last polyline drawn on the map Display: Show recorded mouse clicks in new window So click the 'Start' button an ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to add duplicate datacolumn to datatable

  Hi All, How can we add a duplicate column to datatable. I already had a column named "Action" in my datatable, and i want a duplicate column to "Action". Note: Actually the datatable is being filled from dataset. I cannot change the Sql Query because those are predefined by analysts. Thanks in advance. You can not have 2 columns named action in your data table. You can add a datacolumn that uses an expression to copy the data to the new column. DataColumn dc = new DataColumn ( "Action2" ); dc.Expression = "Action" ; dt.Columns.Add(dc); ...Show All

• Smart Device Development closing forms

  Hi all! I'm wondering a bit about how to close a form in a correct way. Currently I'm using: myForm.Close(); otherForm.BringToFront(); I thought this would give me a result where the form shown for the user is beeing closed and another form, which i choose myself(otherForm), is beeing shown, but it doesn't! This(above) is the result i want to get but how do I code it I'm using CF 2 and developing for WM5 Smartphones. Thanks, Martin Hi Martin, I think what you want to use is show your forms using ShowDialog(). Showing a form this way (modally) will block your primary form from receiving input while it's displayed, but when your dialog form is closed, your main form will get focus back. In the sample code below, the dialog is just ...Show All

  I get this kind of events logged in the eventlog: Source: .Net Runtime Type: Error Unable to open shim database version registry key - v2.0.50727.00000.

• .NET Development ORA-12154 error when connection to Oracle Database from C#

  I'm trying to connect to an Oracle Database 9.0.2 using OracleClient in C#. I get the error "ORA-12154 Could not resolve service name" when trying to connect to the database. I've checked the TNSNAMES.ora file an it seems ok. The project where I get this error was previously a .VS 2003 project which I converted to a VS 2005 project. As a test I created a small project in VS 2005 where I connected to the same Oracle database with the same connection parameters, and it worked fine. Does anyone have a clue on what might be the problem Do you have multiple Oracle installations on your machines like Oracle client and Developer If so you'll have to set up the tnsnames.ora on both HOMES. Or else setup the regist ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSIP for other MS platforms

  Hi, I need to know whether addin compiled and tested on Windows (XP for instance) for Visual Studio 7.0, 7.1 and 8.0 compatible with the Visual Studio for XBox360 If the precompiled binaries are not compatible then obviously you'd need to recompile your addin for XDK in which case you'll need VSIP for XDK. Is that avilable In short i just need to know the chances of porting a VS addin developed on Windows to XDK and make it available for Visual Studio XBox360. Thanks in advance. Hi Zul, What is Visual Studio for XBox360 I had never heard of it, could you provide a link . Searching the Web I have found XNA Game Studio Express, is that the same thing you are referring to In any case, from what I understand, you always use Windows X ...Show All

• SQL Server Definition of 'Persistent Data'

  What is the definition of 'Persistent Data' as related to the definition of a RDBMS thx, Kat Hello, Data is said to be persistent in RDBMS when the transaction that has written it is commited. One of cornerstones of RDBMS is the ACID contract between the system and the components that issue transactions. ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability. The Durability property sais that once a transaction has been commited, its modifications are guaranteed to survive any failure of system, once the permanent storage is not damaged. Another term for Duarbility is Persistence(they just use Durability because ACID is the cutest abbreviature one can think of :) ) So, basically, persistent data is the data that has be ...Show All
