• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. End users shouldn't have to rewrite XNA math functions in order to improve performance.

  The overhead of passing a 64 byte Matrix by value is significant. Most especially when you are comparing two matrices for equivalency (==), or performing a Vector*Matrix multiplication (Vector3.Transform(Matrix)). The following matrix comparison function performs 5-10 times better than your built in == comparison. If the matrices are equal, then it is about 5 times faster. If they are unequal then it fails fast, and is about 10 times faster. public static bool Equals(ref Matrix a, ref Matrix b) { // i check the diagonal first for quick fails return a.M11 == b.M11 && a.M22 == b.M22 && a.M33 == b.M33 && a.M44 == b.M44 && a.M12 == b.M12 && a.M13 == b.M13 && a.M1 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Threading and NewRow

  Hi there Just wanted to get something straight here. With all the talk of not accessing forms components from threads outside the one that created the component, I was wondering if its OK to create a new table row using NewRow or NewXYZRow (the strongly typed version) from another thread and then add it to the table with either the main IF thread or another thread. The table is hooked to a DataGridView so I'm not sure if that means its bad voodoo to do the different thread thing Just to make sure I don't confuse anyone, I'm not talking about multiple thread access to the table at the same time, I just have a thread that recieves info off a TCP port and want to create a new row, then pass the new row to the main thread using Be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Brace Matching and User Types color in VC++

  The new Fonts and Colors settings* in the code window in VS are great! For example red text for strings and a blueish color for User Types. (Brace Matching is invaluable!) But only some of the settings seems to apply to C++: User Types remains black whatever color I choose and Brace Matching won't work. * Tools/Options/Environment/Fonts and Colors/(Text Editor) I have the same problem. I'm using vc++ ee. And syntax coloring for user types dosn't work. You would think that: class A {}; //... A a; would make A color you've chosen, but no. It’s treated as normal text. In vc# ee it's working as it should but not in vc++ :/ . It's ignored no metter if you restart IDE or not :(. ...Show All

  I seem to be having an intermittent issue connecting to Team Foundation Server. At any one time, I may have a few systems that cannot connect, but others that connect ok.

• Visual C# No Overload error help

  I'm creating a TreeView at runtime. This tree loads, the app populates it from a database and the child nodes are updated correctly. However, I'm currently getting this error after adding a line of code that would handle any node selection: Error 1 No overload for 'OnTreeView_AfterSelect' matches delegate 'System.EventHandler' I've created an instance of the TreeView at the class level and added code to create it and add it to the form at run time. The error occurs when the build gets to the highlighted line in the code below. I have read thru the MS online help concerning this and I'm very confused because according to all of the samples I've come across, I'm doing everything right. I know there must be something I've missed. ...Show All

  Hi, All. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have been doing research and I can't seem to find searchapi.h , srchprth.idl anywhere. I have installed the Windows Server 2001 SP1 SDK, Office 2007 SharePoint Server SDK and Windows Sharepoint Services V3 SDK, none of which have the required files.

• SQL Server Comparison of different approaches in reporting OLAP data

  I'm building reports over my OLAP datasource right now. Is there any good comparison charts between different approaches The following are the problems that I get with each approach. Reporting Services - I can't put data and chart into one page. I want something like the Page grouping found in Excel Pivot Table. (P.S. I've successfully put data and chart into one page by using an outer matrix to contain the data matrix and chart. However, page formating and positioning is extremely difficult in this way.)

• Visual Studio Landscape print quality poor

  I'm using Local processing mode on a Winforms app, and have a report that I'm printing in landscape (width 11in, height 8.5in). I am printing this report using the ReportViewer (not printing directly to the printer in code). When the report shows up in ReportViewer, it looks fine. If I adjust the report to print in portrait (set in the rdlc), and print the report, the fonts look fine. However, when I print this report in landscape (set in the rdlc), the font rendering is poor, w/ jagged edges on the fonts. I've reduced the report just down to a simple header w/ no other content and tried different fonts, sizes, and margins, but the quality is consistently poor in landscape mode. I've tried printing the same text in landscape using Word ...Show All
