• SQL Server embedding a DTS package which contains a 'Copy SQL Server Objects Task'

  Hi, I am getting an error when doing the above. I create a new SSIS package, drag in an Execute DTS 2000 Package Task, select and embed a DTS package which consists only one one task (as above), and then change the source & destination details (svr + user/pwd). Then when I go to the Copy tab, I get the following error when I hit Select Objects, to view the objects which the embedded DTS package should copy: SQL-DMO error 21776: general error. On further inspection, none of the objects selected for copy within the atomic/original DTS package, remain selected for copy within the embedded DTS package. I have googled to search for an answer to this one, but to no avail. Any ideas would be greatly welcomed. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) databinding issue, june ctp

  hi, i just updated to june ctp and started working on a new project (of course the may-ctp projects are not working anymore..). in may-ctp i got used to working with clr data objects, which i implemented throu a dll, which provided some observable-collections containing the data. those i bound to the root grid element, to be consumable by child element via an explicit data connection. in my new project there seems to be a bug with this kind of binding to data (i haven't tryed the xml-option yet): althou i configure the correct dataContext and the data seems to be available and consumable (i bind the Count property of the collection to a label which returns the acurate value), i even see the data when working in EID, but i do not s ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Writing Text to the Screen

  The XNA Framework can't write text to the screen out-of-the-box (unless you forego all of its 2D and 3D capabilities, that is). A little group called Nuclex has put together an excellent text-rendering utility that integrates extremely well with the XNA Framework: http://www.nuclex.org/framework/fonts 1) Reference the Nuclex stuff (see the Tutorial) 2) Make an XML file and fill it with a few tags about the font you want 3) Reference that font 4) Use the font object to make DrawString() calls in the Draw event of your app. Great for checking on FPS, input status, or other testing/monitoring... or just showing your player's in-game stats. No worrys. Check out George's post in this thread if you want to try ...Show All
