• Visual Studio Team System TF30162: Task "Populate Reports" from Group "Reporting" failed

  After finally getting through the install of Reporting Services and Team Foundation Server and SharePoint I am getting an error when I try and create a Test project I'm getting an error. We have installed all of the components onto a Single Server Environment on a machine called VM-Foundation1. We have also installed an SSL certificate on the box for the URL AppDev.Company.com. All through the install we had to change various configuration files and a couple of registry entries to get all of the URLs and paths to the various parts pointing correctly and we also had to disable the Loop-Back check for Reporting Services because the certificate name is different then the name of the server. All of these changes we found on different posts ...Show All

• Visual C# How do you Export Template in VSTS?

  I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite. I've read all the help files on exporting a project template. There's just one problem- if I go to the File menu, the option Export Template just is NOT there. Am I missing something simple Or does this SKU not support export Thanks, Jeff Yeah running devenv /resetuserdata didn't bring back the export option. Although there were some other annoying side effects. Do I need to install a different SKU I'd figure VS Team Suite would cover just about everything so it should certainly have Export to Template. Thanks, Jeff ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. LockVertexBuffer

  Our application has 2 meshes - activeMesh and loadingMesh. When we need to load a new mesh we spawn a loading thread, and at the end of the loading thread we swap the activeMesh with the loadingMesh. The loading thread uses Mesh.LockVertexBuffer. Occassionally we have encountered a problem where the main drawing thread throws the Direct3DXException D3DERR_INVALIDCALL (-2005530516). Putting DirectX runtime in debug mode reveals "Direct3D9: (ERROR) :Vertex buffer in stream 0 must be unlocked during drawing". Question: is it possible to lock one mesh and draw another mesh in another thread If so, we must have a logic flaw in swapping the meshes! Thanks in advance... Thanks Alexey, What ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using MXDW

  I would like to use MXDW to create XPS documents from any application. But I would like to automate the creation by automating the printing process. But when I try to do this it always comes up with the "save as" dialog box. I had the same problem using the MODI driver as well. Does anyone know how to get rid of that Any samples will be helpful. becket, I removed all the filters in XPSDrvSample by changing the filter configuration file (xdsmpl-PipelineConfig.xml), and clearing everything between the <Filters> </Filters> tags. I also went in the .inf and  removed all references to the filter .dll's. This should get you the "plain" XPSDrv that you wanted. Right ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DepthBufferEnable backwards?

  Am I doing something wrong (not unlikely, I'm fairly new to C#, DX, and of course XNA) or is DepthBufferEnable working backwards Here's an example: graphics.GraphicsDevice.RenderState.DepthBufferEnable = true; graphics.GraphicsDevice.RenderState.DepthBufferEnable = false; It looks like the depth artifacts appear on the metaball when depth testing is supposed to be enabled. What gives You're probably accidentally rendering things in the right order, by looking at the metaballs from the right direction. At the same time, your depth buffer precision is likely too low, as a result from you putting the near clipping plane too close to the camera when creating your projection matrix. It should be put as far ...Show All

I appreciate your help. CString strFunction=TEXT("GetMapByCordinate"); static LPOLESTR strFxn = OLESTR("GetMapByCordinate"); strFxn = OLESTR(strFunction); There were two issues in your code: 1) OLESTR(x) expects x to be a string literal , - not a variable name. 2) The internal buffer for CString should not be manipulated outside of CString, so you are not supposed to assign its in ...Show All
