• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Clipping part of a surface in a 2D interface

  I'm having trouble figuring out how to clip a rectangular region on a larger Direct3D surface. I have a surface the size of the screen that holds my background image, and I need to prevent a small part of the surface from being redrawn because there is a DirectShow video window on top of it that flashes when the surface is redrawn.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Tackling an issue

  Hi all, I'll try to describe this as best I can. If it gets a little confusing, let me know and I'll try to rephrase everything I've said! For the past few weeks I've been trying to get my head around VB2005EE. After reading a few books and tutorials I feel that I'm almost ready to go ahead and build my first "real" program to distribute. The program I have in mind should be nothing complicated, but I'm a little confused on how to build the key feature. Without giving too much away, my idea is to build a large database on every ride, roller coaster and theme park in the world. Each entry will feature statistical information on the particular attraction, along with media (video/pictures), location etc. - this will mean I'll have ...Show All

• SQL Server RB - Multiple Data Source for Report Builder

  I add two data sources to the designer. Create a new dsv using one data source first. Then right click in the designer to add a new table. This time I use the second data source. When I create a Report Model and run it, an error occurred: "Message: Invalid object name 'dbo.tblTrade'. Command: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [dbo].[tblTrade] t" It does not recognize the second data source. Look at the property of the dsv, it only points to the first data source, not the other one... "Our newly created Data Source is positioned as the default, and will serve us in meeting the objectives of our practice exercise.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Automating Windows Live Messenger

  Our organisation uses a large bespoke application for most of its work, but we also use Live messenger for instant messenging - as such we would like a form or linking or automation between these two apps, so when we click on a users name in our app, we would like Messenger to pop open an instant messaging window to that person - no need to populate it with any text (though that could also be useful) Any ideas Messenger uses Passport for its authentication. You can check out the passport SDK to see if there is a way which you can connect the two application, but I am not familar withthe other application. thanks ...Show All

• .NET Development Unable to locate Assembly asdlfkjasdfkljasd

  OK, this one is a real head scratcher. I have a paticuarl application on my beta server that flips out almost every time I modify the source code. It gives me an error saying that the cached assembly doesnt exist. Sounds like a permission issue right But I've checked for all of that... and my other apps work just fine. So I google and find some info on app-pools, so i stick the app in its own app pool. Still.... same problems. I spent an entire day fighitng with this thing... all to no avail. It is a win 2k3 server with .net 1.1, and 2.0 installed. I have currently ONLY .net 1.1 apps setup in IIS.

• Visual Basic Setting application settings

  I really dont know if I am about to fraize this right or not, but here it goes. I have got a series of groupboxes on a form with a few comboboxes on each groupbox. In each combobox there are selections for different operations What I am thinking about is how to remember what the user selected last in each combobox, then the next time the the groupbox is shown - return that user to where they were previously with thier selections reguardless of if the application was closed or not. I used to have a temp table in access to do this, is there a better way without using a lot of resoucres Can this be hardcoded in the application or is that a no-no If this is possible can someone point me in the right direction Davids Lea ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TCP Communication freezes up

  I have created a set of contracts and implementations for a series of business objects. I have set up a basic Console application that hosts the services (about 40) using TCP as an endpoint for each service. When I run my application and the services are being called the application freezes up. If I set a break point where the services are called and step through each service call everything executes correctly. What do I need to be looking at to correct this problem It sounds like you may be running into a throttle.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) URL Escaping.

  Hi, I know this isn't a WCF question per say - but related. I'm calling a WS from a .NET WCF client. The endpoint is formated like this: http://IP/wsgwsoaphttp1/soaphttpengine/http%3A%2F%2Fblah.dk%23ACTION Now this is a URL-encoded string for: http://IP/wsgwsoaphttp1/soaphttpengine/http://blah.dk/ACTION When the endpoint is opened a Uri is created behind the scenes. This URI escapes the string into: http://IP/wsgwsoaphttp1/soaphttpengine/http:/blah.dk/ACTION (Notice missing "/"). This is done in the canonicalize function of the URI : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.uri.aspx "Canonicalizes the path for hierarchical URIs by compacting sequences such as /./, /../, //, including escaped representations." ...Show All

• SQL Server Connection String and VB.NET

  I am following the video tutorials for VBX (quite good BTW) and am on Lesson 09. When I add a data source, the wizard does not produce a connection string. I am following the instructions exactly. What is wrong Peter Feigl I am using the absolute beginner tutorials. Actually I think there must be a connection string because as I said, Test Connection succeeds, the string is just not displayed when you click on the connection string expander. It may be a VBX bug Peter ...Show All
