Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Playing (avi) video's in XNA?
I would like to play a little into-video before my game starts, its simple and small and it's an avi (though I could easily change its format), how do I play it with XNA MDX used to have AudioVideo playback, but I can't find that in XNA. my thought would be, if you want it to work on xbox, you're going to have to write your own content importer for the avi file itself. then manually extract each frame of the avi and sync up your framerate to match the framerate of the avi, playing one frame of avi per game frame. that's the abstract thought i have about it... though in practice, i haven't the foggiest! ...Show All
Visual Studio Help not listed in TOC after install
Hi All, I am finding a strange problem with the integration of help collection. In our case, help is installed using a VS setup program. This msi is being installed silently as part of another msi install. The help is registered correctly. The help collection is listed in the filter combobox for help-index, contents and search. But, say in contents, no contents from the help is listed. similarly for index, no entries from our help collection are listed. Search also doesn't work. I can get this working by removing our collection from VSCC and adding this again, I have to close and reopen IDE between and after these steps. Any idea how to resolve this so that the help collection works after install without any further ste ...Show All

Visual Studio Indentation in code-tag in included xml-tag
If I want to use a <code>-tag containing indentation in an Xml documented member, I can do it like this: /// <remarks: /// <code> /// <MyKey > /// <registrations default="<i>MyDefaultRegistration</i>" > /// < /MyKey> /// </remarks> This works fine.

SharePoint Products and Technologies Problem using email to initiate workflow

My setup uses two lists, one workflow, and one event handler: List 1 "BizOp Announcements" : this is a Sharepoint announcements list that is set up to receive email from a user whenever a new Business Opportunity comes in (the user gets the email and forwards the email to the list) List 2 "BizOps" : this is a simple custom list with about 10 fields.

It creates two tasks whenever a new item is added to List 2 Event Handler : I have an ItemAdded( ...Show All
SQL Server matrix column grouping
Hi, I have a requirement from my users to be able to drill down for a single column in a matrix. I've been able to implement drilldown for all of the measures (all columns grouped at the same time) in my matrix but they now want to be able to group different columns independently of each other. In other words they want to be able to group the data in different columns by different things. An example might make my question clearer, the report would need to look like this: Client Name Sales - Costs + Revenue - Client A + Europe + Middle East + Asia Pacific + $12,000,000 Products + Investments + $12,000,000 $8,000,000 $4,000,000 $10,000,000 $22,000,000 ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System When build quality is changes is any history kept?
When a change is made to the build quality, besides the triggering of an alert, if there a way to see the date and the person who did this action. We would like to know the series of build quality changes that could have occurred on build (from development, to test to release). This would be useful for auditing purposes (we traceability is a high priority within the build promotion and release process) Thanks B. Huard There is no way to track a history of changes made to a particular build, nor is there a way to determine what the last change actually was. The only information stored is who made the change and when it was made. If you require some sort of auditing you could p ...Show All
