• SQL Server SP1 and Hotfixes on client

  I've just finished applying SP1 and the hotfixes (in the prescribed order) to my development SQL2005 server. I'm guessing that I need to upgrade my clients, too. I imagine the clients can be upgraded using the big SP1 installer, but do I need to install all of the hotfix packages or just the sqltools hotfix The article about the hotfix is pretty adamant about all hotfixes being installed on a server, even if particular components aren't installed, but they completely neglect the client where only SQL tools are installed. Thanks Steve If your machine only has client tools, you are fine only installing the Tools hotfix patches. The reason we suggest installing all patches (such as on the server) i ...Show All

  Hi, My primary platform at the moment is Windows, but I want to ensure I don't code anything that is going to cause alot of pain when I eventually get around to subscribing to the creators club and deploying to the 360. I've read a couple of articles on GC and other performance related stuff, but I wondered if anyone has any advice generally on what to avoid or if there are preferences in how ceratin things are coded (e.g. there are many types of storage, is one better than another for XNA specifically) that will mean the transition to 360 is as smooth as possible. Any thoughts or comments welcome! Cheers :) This one bit me. If you're doing audio programming, make sure you call the dispose method on any Cu ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Problems with MS FaxServer COM object...

  Hi!  Hopefully somebody has seen this and knows the answer. Using any version of VFP from 6 to 9, using the FaxServer COM object provided by Windows to send out faxes.  A simple code snippet is as follows: lo_f = createobject("faxserver.faxserver") lo_f.connect("") lo_d = lo_f.createdocument("test.pdf") lo_d.faxnumber = "9999999999" lo_d.send All PCs are either running W2K or XP, have FAXCOM.DLL present, and the MS Shared Fax Printer Driver installed.   This code works on some of the XP PCs, but not all, and on none of the W2K PCs. The FaxServer object can be created on all PCs.  However, on the PCs on which the code fails, when the Connect command is issued, I receive an OLE Error 0x80004005 ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS OLE_DB Command Error

  All, I'm using a OLE_DB Command which inserts row by row into a table. I have a trigger firing to process business logic. One part of the logic is to raise an error back to the OLE-DB Command to allow the error handling flow to call a Script Task to write back to the original table that this row has fail on insert.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3D Playing Cards ?

  How would I approach a 3D representation of a playing card(s) If using a model, would 52 different models be required so that each card has it's own texture Can user primitives (i.e. 2 triangles to make a card shape) have different textures on each side What would be the best method for this I don't think this answered the question asked. The question is would you have 52 models that include texture definitions, or would you "skin" the model with a different face texture based on its value and store the textures separately associating them programmatically with the card at run time I'm interested in opinions on this as well, it may be easier programmatically to create 52 separate models i ...Show All
