Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Where are the D3DPERF methods wrapped?
Does the XNA framework include access to the D3DPERF_* functions For instance I don't know how I could live without D3DPERF_BeginEvent & D3DPERF_EndEvent when using PIX! Andy. I suppose I was asking whether they should be included, presuming that they are a permanent part of Direct3D I also presume we won't be able to run PIX on the 360 version when it arrives Andy, ...Show All
SQL Server Word Wrap database query results
In Visual Studio 2005, when you are looking at the results of a database query, or table (show table data) etc., how can you make the results field values wrap like we use to be able to do in VS 2003 and in Visual Interdev. If the field values were longer then what was display in the grid output results, you could expand the column width and row height and the field values would wrap to fit. If I try to do the same thing in VS 2005 or in sql enterprise manager 2005 the field values don't wrap, they remain displayed in one long line and they just get cut off after a specific number of characters. I have noticed this problem also. Until they get if fixed, just tab to that cell (all the data should be se ...Show All
Visual C# Method Parameter Naming Style
Sometimes I have a method that initializes a class by passing in a few values. In this situation, I generally want to set the value of a private member from the parameter value passed in. (In other words, I don't want to "Set" the property and trigger code in the Set method.) So my code would look like this (** this obviously won't work.. hence, my question... *) public class MyClass{ int x; int y; public void Init( int x, int y ) { x = x; y = y; } I have read many suggestions on naming styles, but so far I haven't seen an example of the "right" way to handle this. I've played with different prefixes and other tricks to rename the method parameter, and of course any of them work , but I ...Show All
Windows Forms error: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Hi, I am developing a windows application in .net 2005 that runs a rather large stored procedure in sql server 2000 (about 165 parameters).

Visual Basic Finding a Start position in a File with fixed record lengths
i have a file containing some data stored in a fixed record length. Reading from this file is not a a problem, except that i have to read each record from start to finish. the 2nd part of each record is a date field. My test file has 356,000 records What i would like to do is open the file at a random point, check the date value and act accordingly (ie, take 50 off the record number and try again, or add 50 and try again) or something like that. Is this going to end up being more intensive and time consuming than it is to read the 356,000 records sequentially and then act accordingly for each record Or is there a way i can build an index to the datafile and use that instead I can do everything with the file that i want ...Show All
Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Focusing on textbox (in PPT)(use VB?)
Hi everyone....any help would be great. I have a one-slide Powerpoint that has a textbox (from the "control" toolbox, not the normal textbox) to allow for text to be entered during a presentation (or slideshow view). The problem is that you have to click on the box to enter the text. Is there a way to have the cursor go right to the box as soon as the slide comes up So when the slide comes up and I start typing, it will go right in the box without me having to click on it first I wasn't sure if this could be done with VB in PPT (which I think is VB 6.3). Thanks! ...Show All

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) namespace declared at Envelope Level are not taken into account...
The problem occurs with .NET3 RC1 when trying to deserialize a DataContract which has a DataMember of type System.Object (xs:anytype) If the namespaces "xsi" and "xs" are defined at the Envelope level, they are NOT taken into account while deserializing the FaultContract.
