• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. how to set xbox 360 resolution?

  Hello guys! I'm deploying my game to xbox 360. The deploy is perfect, but my game aways presented on 800x600 screen. Graphics.PreferredBackBufferWidth value is 800 Graphics.PreferredBackBufferHeight is 600 Graphics.GraphicsDevice.DisplayMode.Width is 1360 Graphics.GraphicsDevice.DisplayMode.Height is 768 how can I to set the resolution My monitor is an AOC 19" widescreen... Thanks! No, you cannot change the XBOX 360's resolution, as it's defined by the user in the system settings. (or even if there is a way to force it, don't do it !) Your game is automatically scaled to the resolution of the XBOX, so you don't have to do anything about that. But you have to manually stretch the game to fit the user's resolution on W ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums trapping 1004 Error when Excel VBA invokes Application object in Internet Explorer

  My Excel application (not primarily intended for running in IE) uses Application.WindowState = xlNormal etc to resize Excel when the UserForm is initialized. Works fine when run in Excel normally, but if I 'Run' the download from my website instead of 'Save', so it opens in IE, the code generates a 1004 error "Method 'WindowState' of object '_Application' failed" that won't trap using 'On Error...'. How else can I head off this problem ...Show All

• SQL Server Parsing T-SQL is not validating table schemas

  I am curious why my stored procedures are parsing properly when you do not reference a table with its schema. The stored procs then fail when you run them. It seems that the parser does not validate that a tables schema is missing. This is an example stored procedure against the Person.Address table in the Adventureworks database. It will execute fine if I change the FROM clause to Person.Address. CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Address_Load]    @AddressID [int] AS BEGIN  SET NOCOUNT ON;  DECLARE @intError int  BEGIN TRY   SELECT    A.[AddressID]     , A.[AddressLine1]     , A.[AddressLine2]     , A.[City]      ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. low resolutions not working (>800x600)

  Hey there all! I wonder if someone of you has experienced the same problem like me:  I'd like to set up my game to have a resolution of 640x480 fullscreen (or even lower). When I make a new game project (or open an existing one - doesn't matter) and change the resolution to anything lower than 800x600 fullscreen a messagebox appears (while the game starts fine, but stays a black screen doing nothing) saying that I will have to use a resolution minimum of 800x600 to use this application. I was searching for the text in the messagebox on the net, but to no avail. I'd post a picture here, but since my WindowsXP is a german version, I guess that it wouldn't help a lot. Maybe this even has nothing to do with XNA or C#. My gra ...Show All

• Windows Forms Repaint Flicker in windows form with complex layout

  How can I reduce the flicker when adding/removing controls from a form programatically Now on to the explanation of the problem: I made a Form to contain data, it was supposed that i should use Tabs to display many views of the data but the default tab control is not pretty, and so I implemented a rudimentary but "acceptable" solution, Making custom buttons that have some mouseover events to display diferent tab images i emulated the tab behaivor, every time the user clicks on a button the button is disabled and the content of the form changes. To ease things the content of the form is composed of 2 panels, one that has the "tab buttons" the other that has the content. The content is contained in custom user ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to unload VSTO 2005 SE Excel Add-In

  If I create an Excel Add-In for Excel 2003 using VSTO 2005 SE, it does not appear in the list of loaded add-ins under Tools/Add-Ins. How can the end user unload the add-in Since the add-in slows down Excel startup by loading the CLR, I want the end user to be able to choose whether to load/unload it. I know I can unload it by modifying the LoadBehavior value in the registry key under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Office/Excel/AddIns, but I can't ask end users to do this. From Tools/Customize/Commands, select the Command Category. Scroll down the list on the right until you find COM Add-ins. Drag that to the Tools menu and place it just below the Add-ins entry. VSTO 2005 SE creates a managed code ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Package will not execute when DontSaveSensitive protection level is selected

  Hi, Can anyone explain to me why my ssis packages will not work when DontSaveSensitive protection level is selected My package configurations are set as SQL server configuration type, and I have a table in a database that contains all the sensitive information (passwords and such). If I select "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey" everything works, but I will be the only one able to execute the packages (not good, I need others to be able to execute them as well). The error I'm getting tells me that the connection is not configured correctly or I may not have the right permissions on the connection. My guess is that the DontSaveSensitive drops the passwords, but when I edit the data source and re-enter the password, it still do ...Show All
