• .NET Development sending dataset on sockets

  Hi, I am using framework 1.1 and VS 2003 I have a dataset that I want to pass over socket. How can I do this any sample Also, on the recieving end, how can I convert it back from binary to dataset. Thanks, The forum should be here! My solution for you would be to work with XML in a Dataset. Step 1: Convert your dataset to XML at the sending end thus. dsMyDataset.WriteXML("C:\myFile.xml") A new file will be created with name myFile.xml on drive C. You then can transmit this file over your socket. Step 2: Convert XML to Dataset at the receiving end thus. dsMyDataSet.Clear dsMyDataset.ReadXML ("C:\myFile.xml") The WriteXML method have options for writ ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using VertexBuffer with Z-Buffer

  I have a primative which I am rendering from a vertex buffer (positioned, colored, textured), among some meshes. All of the meshes seem to work fine with the Z buffer, texutre transparency works fine... except for when I make my primative transparent, you can only see the cleared background, and none of the meshes behind it. Just to give you an idea, here's some code! (obviously not all in the same method). frontVertices = new VertexBuffer ( typeof ( CustomVertex .

• SQL Server transaction inside a data flow task

  We are designing an ETL solution for a BI project using SSIS. We need to load a dimension table from a source DB into the DW; inside the DW there are two tables for each source dimension table: a current dimension table and a storical dimension table. The source table includes technical columns that indicate if each record was processed correctly by ETL procedures. Each row in the source table can be a new record, or an exisisting one. If it's a new record, a corresponding new record should be inserted into the current dimension table of the DW; if it's an exisisting one, a new record should be inserted in the storical dimension table and the existing record in the current dimension table should be updated. Furthermore for each ...Show All
