• Commerce Server Application Logic... How to do ?

  HI there ! I have the following problem... I need to create a SIte (I hope with CS2007) where I manage a number of Supplier each one with its Catalog. Pratically I need to BUY something from someone... I DO NOT NEED to SELL something... I want to manage my Supplier with their Catalogs and then make an order to them for buying their products. The question is: May I use "something ready" in CS2007 or I have to develop everything by myself HI ! thanks for responding to my post. I understood what you wrote. What I need is to permit to suppliers to register into my site (with all their data) and somehow put in their catalog. Once populated, I need to have the possibility to process an order (I need ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System selective Schema Import

  Is there any way in which I can import selective objects from a database (other than using import Script) I have a database containing objects from many projects together. I want to get the objects related to a specific project in my DBPro project... Another problem....when I tried to import script as a workaround for this, only the tables and views got added. None of the stored proc's got imported. And when I tried importing the whole database schema with CTP 5, it took 3 days to do the same... Please help me solve these problems... Thanks, Mairead. One more issue... When I compare schema, I do not have the option of selectively comparing two particular objects. I am forced to compare the entire database! This will al ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Does texel space offset result in dependent read?

  Ok, so here is the problem. I have PCF, and I am doing something like: [unroll] for (int y = ...; ...; ++y) [unroll] for (int x = ...; ...; ++x) tex.Sample(sampler, input.texcoord, int2(x, y)); Everything is fine, unless I want to optimize it and for example do PCF only for shadowed points. I put loops into an if() branch, and the compiler puts texture sampling instructions outside the branch, leaving only arithmetic ones inside. Obviously not what I wanted. Ok, I had the same issue with D3D9, where texel-space offset needs to be simulated via arithmetic instructions, which causes a dependent read - and this in turn causes a problem with mip level estimation - because if a branch is executed in one pixel in a block (2x2 ) of ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is the VS C# project file format going to change?

  I've got a ton of VS 2003 projects that I still haven't converted to 2005, I'm wondering now if I should just wait for Orcas to come out, if the project file format is going to change yet again. I don't have the CTP, I'm waiting for the February edition. Chuck Mike, Actually, the document titled "MSBuild MultiTargeting -- Enabling the use of Multiple Toolsets" states: "Visual Studio Orcas can open Visual Studio 2005 projects with a minimal upgrade (the upgraded project will no longer be usable in Visual Studio 2005)" So whether they add the term "minimal" or not, it's still the same situation with VS 2003/2005. They seem to want to distinguish between opening and building proj ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Bug!? global transaction with SQL Server connection + TransactionCompleted event

  This is an example of a problematic behavior that we encountered during trying to trigger an action after a successful database commit. It took a while to find characterize the behavior and to bring it down to an example like this. I am pretty sure it is a bug! Just to outline the global scenario: The application has several objects which may open a database connection and select or manipulate data. As some of the calls are expensive the data should be cached in a cache. On database updates the cache should of course be synchronized so an obvious idea is to have objects which manipulate such cached data to hook up to the TransactionCompleted event and check for the transaction outcome to do something. Another idea is to use e.g. Juval L ...Show All

• Visual Basic Checkbox value in datagrid

  Hi every one. I am working on a web form which allows people to tick on a specific item they would like to reserve. I have a datagrid which contains 5 data fields.

• Internet Explorer Development Hide part of address in IE7

  Is there any way to hide the entire address from the address bar or even just part of it I am developing a web application that includes another web application. That application uses the address bar to pass the user name and password, and I don't want that information to be shown. Thanks You should consider a different architecture. Anyone who watches their web traffic (say, with Fiddler from www.fiddler2.com ) will be able to trivially view the usernames and passwords. Simple encryption won't necessarily help you here, because the viewer can simply replay the encrypted credentials. ...Show All
