• Visual Studio Team System Team Server Editions vs Visual Studio 2005 Prof

  Good Morning I am trying to find out what the difference would be, from a feature aspect,between using Team Foundation Server with an actual Team Edition of Visual Studio versus using Team Foundation Server with Visual Studio Professional and a CAL. I haven't been able to find anywhere with a definitive list of 'you get this,but not this' for one versus the other type of install. Secondly, if the feature set is skewed in favor of the Team Edition versions...... then is there an upgrade path for those with Visual Studio Professional as I have already seen that the price is quite a bit higher and I don't necessarily want to throw out my licenses for the professional stuff..... Thanks in advance for the info AJ ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Performing custom blending in pixel shaders?

  Hi, I've read that in xna the fixed function pipeline has been wholly removed, with the exception of alpha blending. My question is, is there a way to do blending in the pixel shader anyway, for example: to write a full screen shader that takes what has currently been drawn and applies some effect to it (ie. makes the scene black and white, applies blur, whatever) that can't be achieved with just alpha blending Or is there some other standard way of doing this Yes, save your current backbuffer (GetRenderTarget) set the new one as a surface from your texture (GetSurfaceLevel, SetRenderTarget), then render what you want to the texture. Then set the render target back to the original, set the texture. Af ...Show All

• Visual C++ debugging doubles

  Hi, when I debug, some of the doubles are shown fine and right in the debugging window but some doubles are shown like "-1.#IND000000000000". why is it so and how can i change them to be displayed in the right mode. best wishes   A double variable *can* have the value -1.#IND000000000000 (It's not  a wrong output by the "Debugging Window"). It simply states that the variable has an undefined value due to some *mathmatically* wrong calculations (For example a 0.0/0.0 division would give such a value) ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Deployment and Removal issues

  I created a setup package and installed it on my SQL2005 server. I cant seem to find anywhere on the server where they are installed, but I can access them from the Job schedule tool, which work for me. However, now I have to upgrade the deployed SSIS and I cant seem to install on top of an existing one (gave me no errors but after testing it i realized it is still running the old version.) My questions are: 1) How can I find and delete these SSIS packages from the server 2) How can I just upgrade for a new version of a SSIS package I need to be able to do both things as at some point I may want to just remove some packages. I Installed to the SQL server. I conneted to the SSIS service with Manageme ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Cardspace doesn't work behind authenticating proxy

  Hi folks. I'm currently investigating Cardspace at work, where we live behind nice cosy authenticating proxy servers. Trying to hit the test STS at xmldap.org, I get 407 proxy authentication errors. Needless to say, this is a bit of a showstopper for me. Is there anything I can do to work around this (without having to change the proxy servers - our potential customers won't be able to do that...) I've tried adding a defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true" xml element to infocard.exe.config, but it makes no difference. Anyone got any ideas Cheers Matt I've spent much time to solve similar issue with my corporate proxy that requires authentication, but failed. I found that duri ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Remove Handler

  Does anyone know if it's possible to remove an event handler when you don't know the name of the event handler sub Let's say I define an event handler: Sub EventHandler() ' Handle the event. MsgBox( "EventHandler caught event." ) End Sub I add the event handler: AddHandler Obj.Ev_Event, AddressOf EventHandler Then if I need to remove the event: RemoveHandler Obj.Ev_Event, AddressOf EventHandler BUT, let's say I don't know the name of event handler (EventHandler).
