• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Software Development with DirectX 10

  I wish to develop a audio software (like winamp, jet-audio etc) using Direct X 10. Dear experts, what do you suggest about this Should or should not I go with is Please tell in detail regarding your suggestion. Thanks Ashraful Alam http://geekswithblogs.net/joycsharp There is no new sound functionality in DirectX 10. While there is a new sound API for Windows Vista, the "Core Audio APIs", you'll almost certainly be better off either using the traditional Windows multimedia API or DirectSound so your application can work all versions of Windows. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Connecting to WebService from PDA via ActiveSync problem

  I have a PDA running WM5 using CF 2.0, written in VS2005. SQL Mobile (or whatever it is currently called is installed) My application connects to a Web Service (running on an out of state server, via the internet) to upload and download data. The Web Service was added to the application using “Add Web Reference” in the solution explorer. wrServiceMain is the name of the added reference. It just returns a dataset of needed information.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Save

  How do I Save a file with out calling the dialog box, at the moment I can SaveAs the file(with dialog box) but what I'm after is when you click just save it just saves the file that is opened in its original format with any alterations that have been made. The program is a cut down version of a text editor. Thanks for the reply Dave Tried that but I get a lot of squigley lines, here is the code that I am using to SaveAs it was gleaned from the net, so I'm not sure if it's right or wrong, although it does save the files. Private Sub SaveFile() SaveFileDialog1.Title = "QuickWord - SaveAs File" SaveFileDialog1.DefaultExt = "rtf" SaveFileDialog1.Filter = "Rich Text Fil ...Show All

• .NET Development Issue with Process.Start() and Perl script

  Hi there, I am trying to call a Perl script from within a C# Windows Service but can't seem to get it to work. To call the script in question from the command line I would type: 'Perl c:\FACT\GetWaferBinDataXDaysX.pl [username] [days]' Where username is text and days is a number.

• Visual Studio Team System Error when trying to generate report rsItemNotFound

  The item '/EA Current Version/Remaining Work' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound) Get Online Help I checked the TFSwarehouse database and it Seems there are a few errors. A week ago I moved the Databases from our C: to our E: on our appServer01 because C was running out of space. That might`ve caused this - not sure.

• SQL Server Import and Export Wizard: Did they try it out before they shipped it!!!???

  I have an excel file that, at least to me, is pretty simple. It's got 8 tables with about 25 records each. I'm trying to import 2 of those tables. Everytime I try to import I get this message: Column "Name" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types. So I've tried every combination of import/export that I can think of here and stil I get this message. Now I really don't think that I have any oddball characters in my data. As a matter of fact there isn't even any punctuation in there. And yet, SQL thinks there's some unicode in there. My dest column type for Name is a varchar(max). No issues there. So this is really about the simplest sort of data transfer that I can think of. And yet it doesn't ...Show All
