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

  Hello, I'm wondering how localization will work ... I mean, I know that currently you can simply embed, say, string resources in a satellite assembly and the framework will pull them out based on the CurrentUICulture. Can we reasonably assume that the XBox360 will set the UICulture :-) Sounds like something that should get put in connect. Rather than a special method, Joel is correct that it should just use the normal .Net localization APIs as long as those are something that exists on the compact framework on the 360. ...Show All

  Hi, I'd like toi import data from an Excel file using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 in C++.....are there any examples of how to do this I've searched and found some info using C# or VB but didn't see any direct example using C++. Thanks! Alejandro.

• Windows Forms DatagridView, commiting changes immediatly please!

  Hope I explain this right. I have a DataGridView, whos DataSource is a DataTable. This DataGridView has two DataGridViewComboBoxColumns.

• Visual Studio Team System How to get DB Pro ?

  I do have asked this question in the Visual Studio Newsgroups, but didn't get feedback. So I'm hoping to get some light from this group :).

• SQL Server Excel 2007 import error

  I've been working in Excel 2007, importing data from SSAS and I started getting this error when I try to connect to SSAS: Data could not be retrieved from the database. Check the database server or contact your database administrator. Make sure the external database is available, and then try the operation again.

This problem started happening after I processed the cube. I've stopped/started the SSAS service, closed/re-opened Excel and rebooted the SSAS machine and Excel still keeps giving that error.

• SQL Server Help with CURSOR

  We have a tree structure containing section names. Each node is a section name and each section can have subsections. I have to copy the tree structure but need to maintain the parent-child relationship established within the id / parent_id fields. How do i acheive this For example i have the tree Section 1 |-Section 1.1 Section 2 |-Section 2.1 The "Section" table contains 3 fields: id, parent_id, and caption. ID is the identity of the section record and parent_id contains NULL or the ID of this record's parent to create a child. So "Section 1" (id=1, parent_id=null), "Section 2" (id=2, parent_id=null), "Section 1.1" (id=3, parent_id=1), "Section 2.1" (id=4,parent_id=2). I would like to ...Show All
