  Can blender be used with XNA GSE Just wondering b4 i go and get my new comp this week because my desktop crashed... IMO Blender's interface is more Windows-based than any other 3D app's(3dstudio,XSI softimage,Maya). Just one main difference - your toolbar is at bottom of the screen(of course, you can change it anytime). ...Show All

• SQL Server Help! SQL Express, Standard or Enterprise? or Access?

  I'm not a developer and would like your input to compare against what a sales rep is telling me. I'm managing a small web project that will have a database with a max of 20,000 records with less than 50 field each. It will be hit by anything from 200 to 500 people in a day (max) via Internet connection from all over with all sorts of speed. The users will select less than 50 filters to obtain the results of the info they are looking for among the 20000 records. Most users will only choose less than 10 filters per search. That's all that the database will do...seems to me enterprise is way too much, but since I'm not expert, need one of you to help with your input. Thanks very much! Tricky part I found on that is that the ...Show All

• .NET Development Logging WEB Service

  Hello. I am using Web Service with C# .NET application as a client and JAVA Enterprise over JBoss Application server as a server. I'd like to log all traffic of the web service using standard diagnostic mechanism of the .NET. I know to trigger it for tcp and http communication, although it prints a lot of information.

My question is what is a way to do it for Web service communication If there is no "standard" way can anybody suggest the shortest implementation path P.S. Please do not advice to take Application logging block or Log4Net 3rd party library. I do not have a time and wish to add into my application a huge chunk of code for this small task. Thank you.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Argument syntax problem

  I have a problem with the syntax of my code. I first have a loop that checks if an object in the selection is a chart. If it is a chart then it passes that chart on to a sub as an argument. In that sub changes are made to the chart in therms of style, size etc. My code: Sub arrayLoop() Dim obj As Object For Each obj In Selection If TypeName(obj) = "ChartObject" Then Call linjeDiagramKnapp(obj.Chart) End If Next End Sub Sub linjeDiagramKnapp(argChart As Object) Dim mySize As Double With argChart.Chart .ApplyCustomType ChartType:=xlUserDefined,TypeName:="Standard" With argChart.Chart .Height = 150 .Width = 150 .Top = 100 .Left = 100 End With My problem is that I do not know how to write the part of the code referring ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Elapsed Timer Inconsistant?

  In working on my game I developed a throttler that runs off of elapsed time to handle problems I was having using keyboard input. Basically update and draw were appearing to detect the keyboard keys multiple times for each keypress (I am using the Input code from the spacewars demo). The problem is about every 4-5 seconds or so the elapsed time apears about double the float value it does every other time. Tracing out the data it seems most changes to the elapsed time run around 0.0125 seconds, with the occasional 0.025 second spikes. I know we are talking fractions of a second here, but the reusult is every once and a while I still get multiple key presses detected, and upping the threshold doesn't help until I move up to 0.5 second ...Show All

• Smart Device Development eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0

  Hi there. Could anyone explain to me the significance of this DVD I've been getting with my MSDN subscription and how it is different from regular C++ as a part of MS Visual Studio. Thanks. eVC was the only development tool for native code running on devices from Windows CE 3.0 to Windows CE 4.2 (eVC3.0 targets Windows CE 3.0, eVC 4.0 with all the service packs targets Windows CE 4.0-5.0). Beginning with Windows CE 5.0 (and certain 4.2 devices, i.e. the PPC and SP 2003 releases), native development support for devices has been integrated into Visual Studio 2005. eVC was based on the VC5/6 code base, and so is a bit dated when you compare it to VS2005. The debuggers and overall development experience have been greatly improved ( ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions are methods called asynchronously in the same thread better than those called in another thread?

  i was just wondering since calling methods asynchronously in the same thread acts just like calling the method on another thread. so which is better or preferred by you programmers out there are methods called asynchronously in the same thread better than those called in another thread Carsten Kanstrup wrote: Unlike the previous versions of VB, VB.NET will not allow a direct cross thread call. If you try, you will get an error message. You didn't state that you are refering to windows controls only . This is only by default. You can access windows controls directly from another thread, without using invoke, by setting checkforillegalcrossthreadcalls to false (you probably wouldn't want to, though). Cars ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Server 2000 v 2003

  Hi all, I'm working on a multi-user FoxPro product across a network. Up to recently we used a 2000 server and everything was fine. Since we've moved to a 2003 server we've ran into problems. We get 3 testers working on the same network tables and within a few minutes the application hangs and seems to lock the tables. The really frustrating thing is that it never hangs in the same area or on the one computer. Our error messages are very vague as well. Basically I was wondering if other people had problems going from Server 2000 to 2003. Is there maybe extra security or configuration in 2003 that 2000 doesn't have. Any help would be much appreciated, Don't know if this will help, but I had similar is ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Help!!!!Who know about the memory limit problem On Windows Mobile 5.0

  We developed a application on windows mobile 5.0.One of it's features is to play audio files. We did it by hosting Window Media Player Control in our project.By default, WMP control only suppurt wma and mp3 audio formats on WM5.0.When playing other formats (like aac,3gp,mp4,amr,midi and so on),the WMP control will load neccessary dll which provided by Hardware Vender .

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to start process in session before user logs on?

  I have a need to start a process in a session before the user logons on. On XP I used a Windows Logon Notification Package to do this. When a new session was created, Winlogon.exe in that new session called my WLNP and it was able to start the process before the user logged on. The process is used to support smart card logons for that session. I'm trying to find out how to do something similar on Vista. I know logon notification packages are no longer supported. I know how to write a service to get session creation notification, but I don't know how to start a process in the new session before the user logs on. Is there a function I can use to start a process in another session If so, I could have my session tracking sevice start th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Account for running the Team Build service

  Hi, The TFS Installation Guide says to use the Domain\ TFSSERVICE account as the service account for the Team Build service. Can it run under a less privileged account I would like to run it under an account that is in a [Project]\Build Services group. What kind of problems might I run into Thanks, Paul Paul, you can certainly run it under a less privileged account. You are correct that the account that you use will need to be a member of the [Project]\Build Services group. Likewise, the account will need to have full permissions to the local directory where builds execute (say, c:\builds) and full permissions to the drop share (say, \\someserver\drops).
