• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do you implement Fog into a scene?

  Hi All, I have finally got some 3D up and running so things are whizzing about (which is always fun to watch... for a while, yeah I know, small things...) and I was wondering if anyone had any examples of putting fog into a scene. I tried last night and succeeded in turning all my meshes to white, not matter how far away they were from the camera. No matter what I did to the values, nothing changed. As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers   vidalsasoon wrote: code please Here is what I had as far as I can remember... I tend not to leave code that doesn't work in a project, it becomes a distraction... in my Draw function... graphics.GraphicsDevice.RenderState.FogEnable = true ; graphics.G ...Show All

• SQL Server Find/Replace Not Working in Management Console

  I have the 2005 Standard Edition of Sql Server, and the managment console tonight stopped responding to quick find/replace requests either via menu or (ctrl+f, ctrl+h). The UI bars above just grey out a bit and nothing happens. I saw a MSFT dev for VB (visual studio) respond with a fix that was to run "devenv.exe /resetsettings" that restored the defaults and fixed the problem for those affected. Anyone know how to do that for management studio, since going to customize (restore) each of the individual bars didn't do it. Thanks in advance, Greg I found it thanks to your hint though not quite in the way you describe. In fact I found a way of making the Find dialogue pop up center ...Show All

• .NET Development Use XML as data source in VB

  hi! I have a large collection of softwares, so i decided to catalog them. I have created the catalog in XML, is there anyway in which i would be able to create a program in VB 6 that would enable me to search through the contents of the catalog. If yes please explain. PS I am just 15 so explain in detail. any tutorial or reference sites are welcomed. Thank you Raveesh With VB 6 you can use Microsoft MSXML to parse XML. IE 6 installs MSXML 3 which already supports SAX parsing, DOM, XPath and XSLT. Other versions of MSXML are available for download . The MSXML SDK is online here . It has both introductory/tutorial like sections and reference sections where you should find anything you need, one secti ...Show All

• .NET Development Cryptic exception...A call to SSPI failed...

  Hi All, Been working this issue for a few days now, here's the deal. I have a bit of VB.NET code that uses an SslStream object to communicate with a Java application over SSL. The Java application uses JSSE to facilitate SSL. The VB.NET SslStream code works fine on any machine thus far except for one. On this particular machine, when the VB.NET code calls the AuthenticateAsClient method, the following exception is raised: System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: {"A call to SSPI failed, see inner exception."} Data: {System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal} HelpLink: Nothing InnerException: {"Invalid flags specified"} Message: "A call to SSPI failed, see inner exception."

• Visual C++ CryptoAPI and FIPS 140-2

  Does anyone know with authority if the CryptoAPI is 140-2 certified Example, if I create an application that uses Microsoft's CryptoAPI, i.e. key exchange(Diffe/Hellman), data encryption, etc, will my application be 140-2 certified, validated or compliate I have read some blogs stating CryptoAPI is 140-2 certified but when I go to the NITS database I do not see it as a listed certification, at least a 140-2 certification. As a note: I see that the FIPS.SYS is 140-2 certified, but only for Window Server 2003 and the last certification for the CryptoAPI, number 103 from the NITS database, is for 140-1.

• Visual Studio Team System how can i remove files from my drive

  and have TFS be aware for instance, i synchronize the entire tree in TFS. later i decide that i only need some of it and want to free disk space. how do i remove those unwanted files from my drive and have TFS be aware when i later decide to get those files again remember, directly deleting files on the local HDD defeats the purpose of TFS. TFS does not know they were deleted so it thinks you still have those files. attempting to do a "get latest" only shows a dialog telling you that your files are up to date. thanks, scott I'm hoping Brian Harry will blog our feature roadmap in the near future.
