• Windows Forms Strange behaviour of the stored procedure for SelectCommand

  Hi, all! I've met a strange situation. I have a stored procedure: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GetTemp AS begin insert into dbo.log (ProcName) values('GetTemp') select * from TempDB end This procedure is set as SelectCommand property for TableAdapter. When the Fill method for this adapter is invoked, the DataGridView gets the data from, but nothing is added to the dbo.log table. When I start this procedure manually, everything works fine. What is the reason Is SelectCommand somehow prohibit any changes in DB Thank you in advance gqlu wrote: Hi, Try to set it as UpdateCommand property. SelectCommand will not change the database. Hope this helps. Does it mean I can't change tables other than one, for which I've created Tabl ...Show All

• Visual Basic Long Numbers

  Hi, I would like to write applications, such as calculating pi, generating Mandelbrot Sets, factoring large numbers or prime hunts, which use extremely long numbers. I'm not talking about the measly 32 decimal places of the Decimal variable. I'm talking about two or three thousand decimal places. I've written a couple long number calculators which are, quite frankly, crude, cumbersome and slow. My approach has been to create arrays of byte characters, assign one digit to each byte, and then try to program the whole thing to handle addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; all the while trying to keep track of decimal places and polarities. It seems to me that there has to be a better way. Anyone know if it is possible to ...Show All

• SQL Server I made a mistake about service name and the transmission queue got filled of them

  I want to use SSB as a mean to thread multiple SP invocation of the same procedure. When I launched the initator processes it created in the transmission queue error messages saying for each of them that it is an invalid target service name. The view (sys.transmission_queue) records them in this way in the status column: "The target service name could not be found. Ensure that the service name is specified correctly and/or the routing information has been supplied." Services and queues and activation procedure are all defined into the same database. I drop services and queues, and i tried to create a service with the initial wrong name. Nothing happened. Thanks vour your help Thanks, I tried to ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Recommendations for terrainmesh collision and physics

  I've been enjoying myself with XNAGSE for a while now, and wanted to start actually developing something real. So I started to play around with shaders a little, looking into terrain collision algorithms, but they all use a heightmap or a bytemap for terrains. What if I modeled something with Maya, loaded it in using the DirectX model content pipeline and wanted to use that as a level I searched around the Net, but haven't found anything that explains at least in understandable detail how to actually apply the algorithms to meshes themselves. Same goes for physics, a lot of info about the algorithms (Newton and Euler's laws etc.), but no real solid code as to how to do it in C#, let alone XNA. I'm sorry if this has ...Show All

• Visual C++ __declspec(dllexport) required on function declaration in dll source code?

  With the help of one of the people that posts messages on this website, I was able to get a C++ DLL to work with a VB 6.0 calling program.  The function definition in the .cpp file has the __stdcall decoration on the function name, but it doesn't have the __declspec(dllexport) decoration on it.  It seems to be working fine without it, but is it required for some reason   If so what would that reason be   Does the compiler put it in automatically when you compile it, or is it really required at all   George See the other thread for a response: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1021013&SiteID=1 You can use summer@8 directly in VB because a function name cannot contain @. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. The HLSL Workshop from the SDK

  I have worked with shaders before, but not very much. I want to delve into shader development, and thought the HLSL Workshop to be a good starting point. However, I don't know how to actually get the tutorial FX files to run. Here's what I've tried so far: Opening the FX files in the DirectX Viewer. The viewer wasn't able to load any of the files, and gave this error for each: "- Global parameter not found. Effect is not SAS-compliant." Making the BasicHLSL solution ( mentioned in the HLSL Workshop docs as a tutorial for debugging shaders ) use the tutorial FX files, and loading the skullocc.x file instead of Tiny. This cause a lot of runtime errors to be thrown when setting the values for the effect object. I'm sure th ...Show All
