• SQL Server SQL_2005_Express-"Help file not found" err...?

  Hei everybody, Can someone explain why I get this err. msg. on SQL express The installation went OK, no err, but when I press "Help" in SQL I get this message! Thank you! Stefan SQL Express doesn't include the help files in order to reduce download size. If you install Books Online it should hook up to that automatically.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Strange bug - My system or XNA?

  I'm having a hard time troubleshooting this one. I have a simple XNA app where I have 2 cubes rendered with different colors from an FX file and the camera rotating around them. Very basic. 2 weeks ago, all of a sudden the program still works but the colors never show up anymore. It's just the blue background with the cubes 100% black. A couple days later, without changing the code, the color comes back onto the cubes and everything working again. Now today, the cubes have lost their color again! WTF ! I have the latest video drivers using DX August SDK and XNA Beta 2. You can check my test project here: http://www.pepperboy.net/Bin/files/Rainbow.zip This sounds like a problem with the order in which you ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Share source code between projects

  Hi, Is there a way to share source files between projects in GSE 1.0 We have now 2 projects for our game, 1 for pc, 1 for the 360, but when I add an existing pc-source file in the 360 project it makes a copy of it and doesn't use the original one. This makes it somewhat more troublesome to keep both projects up to date. Cheers, Maurice This is one of the not-so-good UI design decisions made by VS. You need to link to the source files, which is done by adding an existing file as usual but then when you select the file(s) in the file dialog, click the arrow on the "Add" button and change to "Add As Link". Also, you should check out the XNA FAQ sometime as this is covered in there. ...Show All

  Hello, I want to marshall an an object to the client from the server, and then use this object. But it is not working giving error: "The socket connection was aborted.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Relationship between UI composition and code-behind

  Hello, I've got a case where the UI (or a part of it) depends on data loaded at runtime. My question then is: where in the code behind file should I put the code that provides the data for the UI The following is a terse and trivial example that demonstrates how the UI is composed before the static method myMethod() runs, therefore the TextBlock foreground is Red and not Blue.

• .NET Development .NET 2.0 Real Time Requirements

  Hi. Probably .NET 2.0 and realt time requirements shouldnt be on the same sentence. I'm trying to control a machine that set's me some real time requirements, the machine fires events,  inside those events I have to do some processing. On one of them I have less than 200ms to performs the work that I need. 200ms is already very thight I cant waste more than 180ms. Per minute I have fired at least 120 of these events I have to handle all of them and can't stay on them for longer than 180 ms. My question is, is the .NET Framework suited to this kind of work Another thing that I must say to help on the discussion, if I waste more than 180ms the machine stops, and that can't happen I really have to meet the time!!!

• Visual C++ Do we need .NET Framework to run MFC application and ...?

  I built an MFC application and now I have 2 questions: - Do I need .NET Framework to run MFC application built in VS 2003 or VS 2005 - How can I make the Visual Studio automatically put the library files (*.DLL) in the same folder as the executable file (*.EXE) as I compile the project Thanks in advance. You dont need the .net frame work, if you are not using the service of the same (if your project is not a .net project) If you are only using MFC and Win32, you need to put the the files manually with the files. You can specify prebuild or post build event in the Visual Studio Project Properties. You can do the copy manually through the DOS commands.
