• Visual Studio Synching Dev server and workstations

  I am running VSS 2005 on a Windows 2003 Development server, and everything works fine for the most part. My team develops web sites on XP, using VS2005. We have an old project that is set up so that when a developer checks a file in, the changes are automatically refreshed on the server. However, I added a new project to VSS, but the auto-refreshing function does not seem to be working. So I have to manually go into VSS and do "Get latest version", which is a pain. I'm sure it's just a setting that I'm looking for, but I can't seem to find it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Maybe you are using Visual Studio's Publish feature Or maybe you're running a continuous integration service/scri ...Show All

• SQL Server Percentage/Proportion

  I'm new to Analysis Services 2005 and MDX. I'm trying to create a calculated member that contains the proportion of cases (using [Measures]. ) for each dimension in the cube. The following code gives me the percentage of the total number of members in each dimension. This is what I need for attribute hiearchies (single-level), but for user-defined hiearchies (multi-level) I want the percentage of the above level. For example, in a time dimension, I want the proportion of cases in each year (this works) and the proportion of cases in each quarter of a given year (this doesn't work).

• Visual Studio Team System Using VSS Converter for individual file(s)

  I had a quick question about vssconverter. My conversion stalled due to some network issue and vssconverter kept giving network or TFS errors (I forget the error number) when I tried to continue and do an incremental conversion. I then hacked the Conversion database to drop info. about the file it was choking on and viola! it continued somoothly. Now I'm left with that one file I need to check in. I created a temp folder in VSS and linked that file and then changed my settings file to use this folder with the target of the original location. Now, when I run vssconverter it keeps giving a TF60099 error (which basically states that mappings do not match) because it tries to do an incremental conversion. How can I reset the conver ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Beginner in DirectX

  Hello I am a hobbyist programmer. I would like to create a program like Google Earth, where a user could interact with a 3D model (rotate, zoom and so on). I have tried to do this by using .NET Framework 3.0 Windows Presentaion Foundation (WPF) technology. But after experiencing an awful 3D performance of this platform, I decided to develop my application by using DirectX. I have quite a lot of experience with C#, Visual Basic languages, .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 and Visual Studio, but I am absolutely new to DirectX, so for beginning I would like to use managed DirectX and C#. So here I would ask some questions about DirectX: 1) I would like to develop my application by using C#, Visual Studio and Direct ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. About formats and multisampling

  I'm checking currently supported DXGI format, what exactly is the difference between: - D3D10_FORMAT_SUPPORT_MULTISAMPLE_RENDERTARGET - D3D10_FORMAT_SUPPORT_MULTISAMPLE_RESOLVE What is the meaning of the following formats: - G8R8_G8B8_UNORM and R8G8_B8G8_UNORM How are coded the following formats: - R9G9B9E5_SHAREDEXP - R8G8B8A8_UNORM_SRGB - R11G11B10_FLOAT (number of bits of mantissa and exponent for 11 bits and 10 bits float).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Whats the deal with DirectX being owned by XNA?

  How come when I go here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/ I get redirected here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/xna/aa937781.aspx Is XNA making a move on owning DirectX It seems after reading some basic information on microsoft.com regarding recent statements about XNA and its current goals I'm led to believe that perhaps the whole of DirectX is being cut up and fed to XNA. First DirectShow goes. Now I realize even basic support I had in DirectX 9.0c is not even supported in DirectX 10. Basically I'm gonna have to port a graphics app engine from DX9 to DX10 and have to include DX10, at least some DX9 headers/libs, the seperate DirectShow files, and if I want rumble support for my Wireless XBox360 controller for Windows I ne ...Show All

  Hello List, I hope you can assist me with a problem I created. I have a problem, I think, due to having an ADCenter.dll assembly out of synch with what is found in the system registry.
