• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using Non-XBox 360 Controllers

  As far as I can tell the XNA framework doesn't allow me to use controllers other than the XBox 360 gamepad. In future releases of XNA will the use of other controllers be possible If not, then the framework is fundamentally flawed for those wishing to make games for windows. gmcbay wrote: If anybody is interested in using a non-Xbox 360 controller with the Spacewar starter kit, I have a modified version of the GamePadHelper class that supports generic controllers, using the old school Windows Multimedia library calls via PInvoke. You're my hero, man. You're my personal hero. I've been complaining about the lack of DirectInput ever since I learned about it. Side note: Leo's link doesn' ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS maxes the CPU on on terminal server

  We're trying WDS 2.6.5000.5378 on a terminal server. We are having two problems which I'm hoping to get some advice on before I'm forced to look for a new corporate search solution. 1. WDS has the Backoff feature which stops it from indexing while the desktop is in use. However, the backkoff feature doesn't appear to take total CPU time into account. If a user session is inactive for some time the WDS indexer will run and devour the CPU. The TS has no CPU cycles for the remaining users actively in their session. Is there a way to limit the CPU utilized by any process instance of WDS indexer This is particularly a killer after initial install and index. 2. Even if we limit WDS to indexing Outlook the index files are large. Our stan ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Creating tables on the fly with DOM methods... are special table methods required?

  I haven't been able to find a whole lot of documentation on this issue. I know the special methods for creating and manipulating tables in particular exist, for example thead = tableObj.createTHead(); supposing the existence of a table object reference tableObj. How do these special methods compare to the generic var tbl = document.createElement("table"); var tbody = document.createElement("tbody"); tbl.appendChild(tbody); ... etc Apparently both sets of methods belong to the DOM Level 1 specification, so is there a more 'right' way to do things And has this issue been discussed or documented online somewhere I must not have found yet Thanks very much for your help. ...Show All

• SQL Server Date not evaluating in an expression

  I have been looking all over for some info about other people having this problem, but haven't found anything. I have a package that needs to download a dated file from an ftp site. I am using a couple script objects to set variables, and one of them is the filename based on the date. I use an expression to get the date: @[User::varFileName] = (DT_WSTR,4) Year( GetDate()) + (DT_WSTR,2) Month( GetDate()) + Substring((DT_WSTR, 29) GETDATE(), 9, 2) Everything works really well when I am debugging it locally. However once it is on the server or even once I come back to it in a day or two, I am still seeing the old date. I thought it might be because my variable needed to be set to evaluateexpression = true, however once I did this ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista CoImpersonateClient() across Integrity Levels

  Hello all, I have an app that runs elevated that talks to an unelevated app via COM. I want the COM servers in the unelevated app to be able to impersonate the elevated client to perform certain file operations with full admin rights. Whatever CoInitializeSecurity() parameters I have been trying to apply on the client does not give the server appropriate rights ending with ERROR_BAD_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL error when it tries to work with a file after CoImpersonateClient() call. I can foresee that something like a Mandatory Label SACL needs to be applied to the client, but I cannot find any documentation in that regard. Anyone has any ideas Thanx in advance, AlexC So, can anyone confirm that this is not possi ...Show All

• .NET Development Call to Web Service using HTTP GET does NOT work

  Hi, I hope this is the correct newsgroup for this question. I have failed to find answer so far despite extensive searching. I am creating a test web service that I wish to extend. The example I am working from suggests that Web Services can be called direct using HTTP GET, eg: http://server/webServiceName.asmx/functionName parameter=parameterValue However when I try this I get the following error: Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/functionName'. It works fine if I first call the service, click on the public method and then invoke.
