• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Content - XNA + SpriteBatch in a windows form

  Hey everyone, small problem here. I've managed to get XNA to run inside of a Panel in my windows form, but my problem is that I can't figure out how to load textures to sprites, since my form does not extend Game. And even when I make a game class, it still says that it can't find my image file, even though I am quite sure it is there. When I look at the debugging process further, I find that it is looking for a file called (imagename).xnb What is this file And why is it not being created like it should be Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the line in trouble (pixel, obviously, is the name of my image): SpriteTexture = content.Load<Texture2D>("pixel"); Either way I think it would be abou ...Show All

• SQL Server Upgrade from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005, same machine for both instances?

  I am trying to install SQL2K5 on my machine where I already have SQL2K installed. The best I have managed to achieve is to get SQL2K5 EM looking at my SQL2K databases. Do I need to uninstall SQL2K before installing SQL2K Depending on what combo of SQL I have installed my options on SQL2K install vary. I am a bit lost at this point. Anyone know a link to a good white paper type doc that guides me through an install on the same machine. Thanks In Advance MPM Just run setup.exe from the SQL 2005 installation media. You can upgrade in place (which is what it sounds like you want to do), or install a new instance. Once you've got Setup running you can click on the Help button and get more d ...Show All

• Architecture Preventing denial of service attacks in public APIs

  Hi Forum We are building some web services which will be available to our customers. What is the best way to prevent denail of service attacks My worst fear is actually the accidental never ending loop that a programmer might do. How does one prevent a never a ending loop by an external programmer Is it something that should be programmed into the application Max Object Limit on Inserts - Valid option I can see that if would be quite easy to prevent too many inserts. We could decide on a limit of max entries pr. user for each object type and then do a count before each insert. This is by no means a way to prevent denial of service but it could be one of the tools to use Is it a bad idea - It cannot do anyting about reads, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Question about converting data types

  Good day, I'm having a little problem in C# while reading from a binary file. What I am trying to do is get the decimal value of 2 bytes of hex data, i.e. "0008" in hex would become 8 in decimal data. Problem is, whenever I try to read it it outputs 2048 or something similar, at least not the number I am looking for, which means I should be doing something wrong... Do you have any idea to get a right number out of this My current reading code: -------------------------------- private int packageType; // Nothing interesting to see here either map = new FileStream (url, FileMode .Open, FileAccess .ReadWrite, FileShare .ReadWrite); BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader (map); map.Seek(0, SeekOri ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Binding NOT operator (!)

  I was hoping that binding syntax had some sort of syntax for the not operator like: <CheckBox Name="MyCheckbox" Content="Enable"/> <StackPanel IsEnabled="{Binding ElementName=MyCheckbox, Path=!IsChecked}"> <Button>Ok</Button> </StackPanel> This would enabled the stack panel and button if the checkbox wasn't checked. If this can't be done what is the guidance for doing this Creating a ViewModel and binding to that It's not built in, but it's easily done using a value converter. <StackPanel IsEnabled="{Binding ElementName=MyCheckbox, Path=IsChecked, Converter={StaticResource MyConverter}"/> public class MyConverter : IVal ...Show All
