• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. VB 2005 Game Programming: Where to start

  Topic says it all. Were can I get Basic to Intermediate help/tutorials/guide with DirectX and VB. I am looking to make a 2D game but need a starting point. John XNA examples will all be in C#, but there's nothing stopping you from programming with it using VB.NET. I did hear a rumor that if you wanted to make XBox360 games using the XNA framework that you would have to use C#, but that made no sense to me since they are all .NET languages and if the Xbox360 is fine with C#, there's no reason it wouldn't handle games written in VB.NET either. But for the PC, yep, you can definitely use VB.NET to program games using the XNA framework. Thank goodness for .NET. Oh, and for 2D development, definitely check out ...Show All

• SQL Server Many different tables sharing a unique ID

  Beginner's question: I have many unrelated tables, each with a unique "ID" column, but each ID must be unique in all tables. What's the best way to achieve this Thank you. MS SQL does not support "identity" fields across tables. Each table has their own list. The GUID is a unique id, and will be unique. Also, ID's are not guaranteed to be sequential. Which is what it sounds like you are looking for. Another way to do a global identity field is to seed the value with a number. Start the Person at 1, Bank at 1000, etc. This does cause a problem if the numbers overlap. ...Show All

• .NET Development generics and static methods question

  I'm learning generics and c#. Is there a way to call static methods in the T class so I can streamline this I have two static methods in T named GetItem and SaveItem that I would like to invoke by something like T.GetItem(astring) and T.SaveItem(t). Reading some of the other posts seems to indicate that a static method can not be used. Thanks for any recommendations. public class FrmUpdateManager <T> : Form { T t; // etc // would like to do something like T.GetItem(tb.Text) to eliminate the if clause // for each type I implement i f ( typeof (T) == typeof ( InsuranceCompany )) { object obj; obj = ( InsuranceCompany .GetItem(tb.Text)); t = (T)obj; displa ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB code to convert xml file to .txt

  Hi, I have a xml file that I generated with a SQL query. I need the info from that xml file converted to a .txt file. I can not export the sql information to plain text, because I need to modify the info into a certain way as well. The first thing I need to be able to do is to convert xml to .text and then I will get to converting in some format. Can someone please help me or point me to documentation or books to read. I really need to do this and would greatly appretiate the help. Thanks! XML files are plain text files with special tags for each row, and each field. Its almost equivalent to a database but in text format. There are ready made functions to read from xml files, if you are interested. But if you only want t ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX help - calculated members make performance very poor

  I have a cube in AS2000 where the fact table holds the figure I want to use as a cumulative amount by month, e.g. if ￡1000 is received in March 2006 and ￡500 in May 2006 then ￡1000 is held against March and April and ￡1500 against every month from then on. However, I need to use this figure on a movement basis and a cumulative basis so that the users can see the development by month, quarter etc. To this end I have developed several calculated measures - one which makes it into a movement, e.g.: Our Share EPI Conv, for which the MDX is IIF ( Not IsEmpty ([Measures].[Our Share EPI CONVbasecalc ]), ([Time].[EPI] .CurrentMember ,[Measures].[Our Share EPI CONVbasecalc ]) - ([Time].[EPI] .PrevMember , [Measures].[Ou ...Show All

• SQL Server Navigation on Matrix Subtotal

  Here's a sample matrix: Men Women Total Full Professor 36 12 48 Assoc. Professor 16 9 25 Assistant Professor 11 14 25 Total 63 35 98 Now, it's easy enough to make the values clickable so that somebody can drill down to a report that shows detail about the people. I have also discovered how to turn off clickability on the totals. However, what I really want is for the totals to be clickable so that, for example, if I click on the 63, I see a report that shows all men. Likewise, If I click on the 48, I want to see a report that shows all Full Professors. What currently happens when the totals are clickable is that if I click on the 63, I get all men who ar ...Show All

• Visual C# "new" event handlers

  Given this declaration: Button myButton = new Button(); void myButton_Click( object sender, EventArgs e ) { MessageBox.Show("Click"); } What is difference between doing this: myButton.Click += myButton_Click; and doing this myButton.Click += new EventHandler( myButton_Click ); I've been doing it the simpler ( first ) way and I haven't had a problem (yet ), but I've noticed that most documentation I've read has it the other way, creating a new EventHandler. I'm not clear on what the effect of creating the new event handler is, and I am yet to discover what "The Bad Thing" is that's going to happen if i do i ...Show All
