• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. ID3DX10Mesh and multiple vertex streams?

  I've recently started looking through the D3D10 documentation. I was looking through the mesh interface to see what was new etc. I noticed that there are a handful of functions in the interface that seem to indicate support for multiple streams -- such as: UINT GetVertexBufferCount( ); HRESULT GetVertexBuffer( UINT iBuffer , ID3DX10MeshBuffer ** ppVertexBuffer ); HRESULT SetVertexData( UINT iBuffer , CONST void * pData ); etc. However, the D3DX10CreateMesh function takes only a single pointer to a D3D10_INPUT_ELEMENT_DESC. Am I missing something Or is multi-stream vertex data just not supported with the ID3DX10Mesh Interface Brian Lawson wrote: However, the D3DX10CreateMesh functio ...Show All

• SQL Server DataSet .xsd use / Re-use concepts?

  Hi all, I've asked this question on another forum on the 2nd October 2006 and has gone unanswered to date. I'd like to discuss SQL Express DataSet controls use / re-use concepts. As I have been so busy sorting out the ins-n-outs and the dos-n-dont's of database connections n usage I haven't had a chance to focus on this issue. Let me exagerate to make my point. Lets say I have 10 forms. Each has the standard DataSet, BindingSource, TableAdapter, and BindingNavigator. Each form has the exact same general (broad scope: select * from myTable, myTable2 etc) query. My solutions explorer has 1 Dataset .xsd for each forms query: myDataset01.xsd myDataset02.xsd myDataset03.xsd .... myDataset10.xsd Is this how I should handle the ...Show All

• Windows Forms private static methods vs private non-static methods?

  Could someone please tell the difference between private static methods and private non-static methods. I know that a static method is created only once per class rather than in every object based on that class, and we can access a public static class member without creating an instance of the class. However, I am not quite sure when we should use private static methods. Thanks. Thanks nobugsz, but I am still confused and still don't quite to understand the difference between a private static method and private non-static method. Could you give me an example where a private method has to be static ( If that private method is non static, the program doesn't work as expected.) Thanks. ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Install WSS 3.0 with Search but without SQL Server

  I'd like to make a full WSS installation with the exception of SQL Server Express. If I choose "Basic" or "Advanced -> Full" intallation scenarios it installs SQL Server and I cannot uninstall it separately. If I select "Web Front-End", it then lacks search service (as per imbedded help). Is there any workaround Correct. WFE actually includes the Search Service (that I still can't activate, but that's for another topic). But I could find it only after installing WFE. However, the embedded help says: A Web server accepts HTTP requests from client computers and passes them to an application server, a database server, or some other computer for processing.

• SQL Server Change Color of Textbox Depending on Value

• Visual C++ 24Bits Bit-field Alignment error under VC++

• SQL Server Search for data inside a Recordset Destination

  Hi there, I need to develop a module and wondering what would be the best implementation... I get a list of files from a text file and store it in a Recordset Destination (object variable "CUST_INV_LIST"). I need to check that all the files in a directory are in the list. I can loop through the files in the directory using a ForEach container, but how do I check if it is in the CUST_INV_LIST recordset I thought about using another ForEach container to loop through the recordset, check if the physical file is equal to that row, if so set a flag, ... but it's neither elegant nor effective. Another option would be to use a Script Task to search for the physical file name in the recordset. I tried with the Data.OleDb.O ...Show All

• .NET Development TransactionScope, ADO.NET, and Timeouts

  Hi! I've been having trouble using the TransactionScope to wrap multiple database queries into a transaction. What happened was, that the queries took too long to finish and the transaction timed out. Of course, this is the expected behaviour. What I didn't expect, is that the data was committed to the database anyways. I built a small test-app to see what happens. At first, I thought it was because I opened the database connection before starting the transaction. That's why I built two methods, one opening the SqlConnection before creating a TransactionScope, and one the other way around. Both simply add some entries to the database and wait a little to cause the timeout. And in both cases, the result was identical. What I noticed was, th ...Show All

If that is the case remove scope '::' and it will work   P.S. It is possible that in your code it looks like '::memcpy' - new version does us a “favor” of subsisting such calls with so-called safe versions, whatever we want it or not. ...Show All
