• SQL Server Saving dates to SQL

  I am fairly new to SQL programming, and have a problem with dates. In my SQL text in vb.net i have this set to eg "04/09/06 00.00.01" executing that sql command works fine, but when i go to read the data back its shows as 09/04/06. If the dates is something like 25/09/06 it fails because i assume SQL read this as day 9 of month 25!. I have UK dates in control panel, how can i ensure SQL supports UK style dates The field type is datetime, i am using the executenonquery command after setting the commandtext to the sql syntax.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Cg Shaders?

  I am reading the Cg Toutorial book right now and it states that Cgfx file extension is .fx. Can these shaders be used in XNA. I am confused at the difference between Cg and HLSL. Can anyone explain what is the difference between these languges Should I read a book on HLSL instead They are unfortunately not the same thing despite being somewhat similar. You will in fact want to read up on HLSL for use in XNA. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Need help with displaying read html in web browswer control VB.Net

  hi, I have a VB.Net app which "reads" in html pages from a web server using winhttp. The purpose is for the app to "fill in" data fields on the page, then send it back to the web server, as if a user had been entering the data in his web browser. It's part of a data input automation project. I'd like, for my own testing, to show the pages I am accessing. So I added a webBrowser control to my main form, I have the html sent by the server (as a response string from my HttpReq.Send call)... but I don't know how to feed that string of html to the webBrowser control. Should be easy, but I just don't get it. So I have some questions: - am I using the right means to render the html - if yes, how can I "feed" the htm ...Show All

• .NET Development Starting point for 3D graphics in VB.Net

  I am using VS2005 (VB.Net). My program need to import 3D (x, y, z) points and display their relative location in a window. In the past I have only worked with 2D (x, y) points which were not a problem. My questions are: Is it possible to simulate "limited" 3D graphics in VB.Net What would be the best way to plot 3D points in VB.Net Thanks Hi The GDI+ does not support 3D primitives therefore you must handle how you want to represent the third dimension within your code. I found an example for you to start with http://www.codeguru.com/columns/VB/article.php/c8185/ . But, my suggestion will be to use DirectX in order to render your points, it will take you half/day to understand the basics but once you ren ...Show All
