• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Does Content Manager use Caching?

  I'm wondering if the content manager uses caching... I have noticed quite a few people build objects like texture caches and so forth. Is this really necessary Previous to XNA I would create a texture 1 time and share it across multiple sprite classes... rendering the same texture at many different locations (1 for each sprite) during a single pass. Is it safe to just use the ContentManager inside of the sprite class with XNA Example //constructor public Sprite( string asset ) { this .texture = game.ContentManager.Load< Texture2D >(asset);} I've built my classes like this because I made the assumption that the content manager would only load a particular asset in memory once. But since it's an assumption I'm now ...Show All

• SQL Server Attach database - error 602

  Hello, After re-installation of MS SQL Server 2000 (Developer edition), I wanted to attch I previously available instances in the Enterprise Manager. But, when I select "Attach database", I get the error: Error 602: Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 9, object ID 1, index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes. When I run this "DBCC CHECKTABLE", I get the message that no errors have been found. What should I do SQL Server is finding a problem with the db when trying to attach so it wants you to run DBCC against that db and you can't because it isn't attached. You can try attaching manually with sp_attach_single_file_db or if you have a backup of the db, restore from bac ...Show All

• SQL Server join several fields to create new field

  What would be the recommendation/approach in creating a seperate field in which joins several differate fields together. I have a table with field name a, b, and c.

• SQL Server Another flat file parsing problem

• Visual Studio Team System Continuous Integration Build with rolling back ability

  Hi, In our company we use Continuous Integration (CI) build. The problem with CI is that there isn’t really way to prevent from my CS - code that broke the build to not Check-into the source control. We want to implement scenario that start building on every Check-in, and in a case of failure the build will roll-back all the changes that Included with the specific pending changes. Does any body know on a way to implement this kind of thing…….. Thanks in advance, You might need something like a custom task that retrieves the number of the last changeset in the build and then on failure you can do a Get Specific Version on the last changeset minus one. Then do a check-i ...Show All
