• Visual C++ Passing Parameters to MFC Application

  Hi, I want to pass a parameter to my MFC Application, ie "myprogram.exe /noverbose" I've tried to look for resources on the web, and found some like CCmdLine. However, they don't work. I even tried to overwrite the main() method but it doesn't work too. Can someone advice me on how to go about doing it Thanks. - Regards, eddy05 I think you can try the combination of GetCommandLineW and CommandLineToArgW functions. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/functions/commandlinetoargv.asp and provided example. I hope this helps. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Scaling textures/sprites

  So I'm drawing 2D sprites using the 3D methods. I'm defining 6 vertexes (2 triangles), to create a rectangle, and rendering a texture2d to it, using a pixel shader. Except that things are a little bit more complicated. My main texture actually only has the red values filled in. Then I have another palette texture2d, that's 256x1, and my pixel shader looks like this: float4 ApplyTexture(float2 textureCoordinate : TEXCOORD0) : COLOR { return tex1D(ts2, tex2D(textureSampler, textureCoordinate).r).rgba; } So anyway, back when I was using SpriteBatch, I could specify a destination rectangle, with a width and height, and it automaticly scaled my texture to this size, and scale it using something other than nearest neighbor. In other words, it ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom fields

  Hi, First of all, great work! Our application has the notion of custom fields which are stored directly in the owner table with alter table statements by a nice ui. As far as I know from the documentation, that scenario is not really possible in the present release. What would be needed I think is a new element as children of EntityType like this < EntityType Name = " Client " Key = " ClientId " > < Property Name = " ClientId " Type = " Int32 " Nullable = " false " /> < Property Name = " Name " Type = " String " Nullable = " false " MaxLength = " 50 " /> < Property Name = " Age &quo ...Show All

• SQL Server Changing the 'Command type' dropdown in a custom data extension

  I notice when using a SQL Server data source the Command type dropdown list only shows "Text" and "StoredProcedure". It does not show "TableDirect" somehow. I would like to be able to set this drop down list to show custom values from my CDE Wrapper also. I tried writing an enum in my CommandWrapper class with no results. This was all I could think to try, and it did not work. enum MyCommandType {    Text = CommandType .Text,    Macro = CommandType .Text,    StoredProcedure = CommandType .StoredProcedure } MyCommandType myCommandType; CommandType IDbCommand .CommandType {    ...Show All

• SQL Server Receiving Error 26 when trying to connect to DB...Some Machines

  Good Day, We have a recently developed (and in testing) VB .Net application which attaches to a specific SQL2005 DB. The issue is that when installed (or run in DEBUG mode) on the developer box it successfully connects to the appropriate db locally and to the live server. When installed on a test box (several of them) we receive error - 26 Error locating Server/Instance Specified. The SQL Server instance is set up for remote connections and works for other dbs. All of the boxes are running XP Pro, with all SPs applied. Any thoughts on what may be occuring would be greatly appreciated.

• Visual Studio Team System Directory Structure - Best Practices Question

  I'm sure this is a dumb question, but i'm a little confused about something. I am trying to set up my build machine to be able to build some of our projects (we've moved to TFS for source/version control and work item tracking, but not yet for builds). What are the "best practices" for having all of the required files on the machine to be able to build the sources. Not everything is included in source control for the project being built. Examples of things i'm talking about might be: Output of other projects developed by our team. Output of other projects developed by other teams (or 3rd parties).

• SQL Server Replicate column to subscriber - even it if is unchanged in UPDATE statement

  Set publisher database table column to 1. Replicate table to subscriber (column is also 1 on subscriber once it is replicated). Set subscriber database column to 2. Update publisher database column to 1 (even though it is already 1). Change is NOT replicated to subscriber (it stays at 2). This means that replication is comparing the insert statement to its current value in the database. Is there any way to change this behavior We want the the column to replicate to the subscriber. Peng, What a great stored procedure! It turns out that the command that is sent to the distributor for replication only contains the fields that change. For instance: Table has the fo ...Show All
