• Smart Device Development Multi-form, multi-thread messagebox() woes (VB, CF 1.0)

  Good morning all. I'm a CF/.NET noob working on my first CF project for my company using VB.NET and CF 1.0. It's a store-and-forward PDA app which accesses our database through a web service. I must say I really like developing for the PDA (although as 9 out of every 10 people probably say, I wouldn't mind some extra functionality). I'm having a perplexing problem with messageboxes. The project as it stands it like this : * I preload/create all forms at startup. They are designed in the singleton pattern, so when I want to display a certain form, I'll use, for example, ServiceManagement.GetInstance().Show() ...where GetInstance is a shared(static) method of the ServiceManagement class which returns the one global instance of the form. * I ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Can't get PIX to start any applications

  When I try to use PIX to get information on a D3d app, I always get a message box like this one: OptimizedMesh.exe - Application Error The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). I assumed at first that it was caused by some error in my program (which runs fine on its own) or caused by the fact that I'm using VC++ Express 2005. But when I try it with the prebuilt exes in C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (April 2006)\Samples\C++\Direct3D\Bin\x86 I get the same results. No matter what kind of experiment I specify the application fails to open. Yet, they all run fine on their own. As shown, I have the April 2006 DX SDK and the Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2. Windows XP SP2, ATI Radeon 9800 XT. Any help ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Security Service Broker

  Hi, I have a scenario where I have several services, each of which will be called by the client and possibly other services. I'd like to implement a separate security service that is responsible for authenticating and authorizing the request, rather than including all of the security sub-systems in every service...a security broker I suppose is the name. Is there a pattern to creating this Is it even possible (easily) in the Wcf I'm currently using the IAuthorizationPolicy interface, UserNamePasswordValidator and ServiceAuthorizationManager classes as a base to work out what claims the user (actual user or a service) has and if they're allowed access to them. I'd like to move these out into the separate service and have each call go via t ...Show All

• SQL Server logins and users

  Hello, How can I login in one databse from Sql Management Studio Do I need one login for each user How does it work thanks, Using the management studio you should be able to log on with a trusted connection. You will need to get the Database owner or admin to assign the permissions to each user that will need to connect... or you could create a network group in the AD and assign permissions to the user group in the databases that the users need to connect to. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. End users shouldn't have to rewrite XNA math functions in order to improve performance.

  The overhead of passing a 64 byte Matrix by value is significant. Most especially when you are comparing two matrices for equivalency (==), or performing a Vector*Matrix multiplication (Vector3.Transform(Matrix)). The following matrix comparison function performs 5-10 times better than your built in == comparison. If the matrices are equal, then it is about 5 times faster. If they are unequal then it fails fast, and is about 10 times faster. public static bool Equals(ref Matrix a, ref Matrix b) { // i check the diagonal first for quick fails return a.M11 == b.M11 && a.M22 == b.M22 && a.M33 == b.M33 && a.M44 == b.M44 && a.M12 == b.M12 && a.M13 == b.M13 && a.M1 ...Show All

There is, of course, an associated file that knows the location and size of each graphic in the file. Assuming I have created one of these files, how could I use XNA to "navigate" through this bitmap to a specific location and then cut-out a certain size rectangle to be displayed on screen Is this something spriteBatch.Draw can accomplish or is another method used Thanks! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions DataGrid not updating
