• Visual Studio Project

At the openning of the solution, i get this message: Source Control - Unable to access Database, and i select the option: temporarily work uncontrolled. I don't know if this could be the problem Dave ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Layers on and off

  I am develpoing a map that contains many pushpins in a small area. I would like to turn them on and off by using checkboxes. Doe anyone know how to go about this I think there's just one more thing (but I haven't tested it yet): You aren't calling your AddMyLayer1() function anywhere, so the tiles are never initially loaded. Add this line to your GetMap() funciton, after your LoadMap(blah blah) call: map.onLoadMap = AddMyLayer1(); ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA framework for non C#

  One of the great advantages of the .NET framework is that developers can work on the same project in different programming languages. As I'm reading about XNA, it seems that this will not be possible with the XNA framework. Will the only programming language that has access to the XNA framework be C# When you say C++/CLI, you mean the pure CLR mode Will C++/CLI mixing managed and native code work with XNA or not I can't imagine that they would allow you to distribute any unsafe, non-managed code. That sort of defeats the purpose, it seems. This is probably one of the major reasons that DirectPhysics is being implemented (just a guess). With the addition of physics, you will have managed control over all aspects of the game ...Show All

• SQL Server Grouping data by x-axis labels

  Hey guys, I have thousands of records in the data source(i.e. Cube), which includes datetime information. I want to aggregate and present the data on a bar chart on monthly basis. That means the interval between the dates should be one month. Assume that the dates value will be labeled on the x-axis of the bar chart. I tried to find out the solution for many days. I will really appreciate if anybody give me some idea. Sincerely, Amde Try creating a category group with two expressions, using the following grouping expressions. =Fields!DateField.Value.Year =Fields!DateField.Value.Month For the label you could use something like, =Fields!DateField.Value.ToShortDateString() You could also use t ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Using parts of a cell value as a variable?

  I am working in Excel macros. I want to find a cell with a specific value and use that cell's location to save the row of data it is on. For example find a cell with the number "3" in it. Lets say it is in cell "d6" then copy the cells in that row that have data. as in "b6 through h6" then next time I find the number "5" in cell "d10" then copy the cells in that row that have data. as in "b10 through h10" Hi Not quite sure what you are trying to do, but the below procedure takes a variable to find and looks in the range D1 to D500, for each matching cell the data from columns B-H is copied to K-Q. Hope this puts you on the right track. Sub Macro2(NoT ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Builder reports not compatible with MS CRM 3.0???

  I'm currently testing our setup of CRM 3.0 and SSRS2005 which are on the same server. I can successfully design a custom report in VS2005 report designer, and then add the report from within CRM -- viewing the report works fine, too. But, when I create a report model in VS2005, and then create a report using the Report Builder, CRM can't upload the file. I receive the following error: "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Why can't CRM add the report made from report builder I can add this report to the server from within VS2005, and actually view it from within CRM, but I get an error if I attempt to "edit" the report in CRM. I suspect that the issue is ti ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vertex Declaration Size

  I am using a vertex declaration with 68 bytes of data. When I use 68 bytes of data the function ConvertToIndexedBlendedMesh returns E_OUTOFMEMORY. However, when I switch to 64 bytes per stream I don't get an out of memory error. My machine has 2 gigs of ram so I don't think that is the problem. I am wondering what useful information people out there have from their experiences perhaps using vertex declarations that our larger than 64 bytes and memory useage restraints. One option that I thought I could use would be to use a separate stream for the data in excess of 64 bytes. Thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to log into Server using SQLOLEDB request

  I am having trouble logging into my sql server from an asp application using SQLOLEDB. I am running XP, IIS5 and SQL Svr 2000 on my developement machine. I am able to log into the database using localhost/application. When I port the code and database over to the server (Server 2003, IIS6, SQL Svr 2000), I am unable to connection using the actual url of the site. I set the login up on the logins for the database manager along with password (using multi, not Windows authentication). Added that user to the database security logins, giving it dbo, srvr admin, etc. Like I said, works on my dev machine. The SQLOLEDB request is Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=(local);User ID=UID;Password=PWD;Initial Catalog=DBName. I set the databas ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 2 Questions for Beta 2: Flipping and Initializing

  Hello! So, yesterday I've finally compiled my game under new Beta :) And an hour ago I've even launched it. Now I got 2 questions: 1. Help says: "The Initialize method is where you can initialize any assets that do not require a GraphicsDevice to be initialized." Well, when I work with my program GraphicsDevice seems to be well initialized in Initialize (more exactly after calling of base method). Is it just a side effect and I should not rely on it or it is an error in documentation 2. I use SpriteEffects to flip my batches. When I first run my game under Beta 2 all sprites are not flipped. I've look through documentation but got no clue - XNA seems to be ignoring SpriteEffects. What's wrong Thanks! Stas ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums A couple of questions regarding the Windows Error Reporting Program

  Hello, Recently I discovered that the Microsoft Windows Error Reporting program is open to all developers free of charge if two requirements (more or less were met). The first requirement was that upon signing up for the program, the candidate company must send a unique Verisign certificate that represent's their organization's identity (about $100). The second requirement was that the application to be submitted to Microsoft for WER must also have a Microsoft Authenticode signature also provided by Verisign (for about $400). My only question that I have is whether I could go with some other signing authority who participates in the Authenticode code signing program (Thawte for instance), and still participate in the Windows Error Rep ...Show All
