• Visual C# Ugly C# brace matching

  Why are there different styles of brace matching for C# and C++ Personally I prefer the C++ style and would like the option to use the same in C#... I didn't mean the layout style. I meant the matching brace highlighting in the text editor. In C++ it changes the color and/or bolding of the matching brace. In C# it changes the background color. Unfortunately the latter style can be a bit visually confusing as it makes the insertion point hard to see. And who knows why C++ and C# use different highlighting techniques. Personally I would want to use the C++ style in all languages. ...Show All

• SQL Server Default to NULL instead of blank/empty string during flat file import

  Hi, In SSIS flat file import using fastload, I'm trying to import data into SQL 2005 previously created tables. The table may contain column that are NULLable BUT there is NO DEFAULT for them. If the incoming data from flat files contains nothing either between the delimeters, how can I have a NULL value inserted in the column instead of blank/empty string I didn't find an easy flag unless I'm doing something wrong. I know of at least two ways to do it the hard way: 1- set the DEFAULT(NULL) for EVERY column that needs this behaviour 2-set up some Derived Column option in the package to return NULL if the value is missing. Both of the above are time consuming since I'm dealing with many tables. Is there a quick option t ...Show All

• SQL Server Threat due to SQL Injection

  I have gone through a terrible situation a week ago. One website was working fine since couple of years and suddenly it was hacked. I checked the entire code in all the pages and it was not at all modified. When I checked the database, I found that javascript was inserted in it. As soon as a recordset was displaying it, javascript redirected that page to the hacker's site.. This was the mechanism was used by hacker. Which database can be more secure in such situations Nishith Shah Client side validation is great for the user, because it lets him see mistakes he made without doing a postback to the server. As a developer, you shouldn't rely on it at all. I've too many sites that were "hackable" just by turning off j ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. No Blue Channel?

  Hi all: Thanks for all your help, my sky sphere now renders from the inside out, and thanks to www.thehazymind.com , I have a working camera to peer inside the sphere. I am stumped on something though. When I render a model that has texture maps with blue in it, such as the aformentioned skysphere, I don't seem to have a blue channel. The texture appears green instead. I'm stymied from the lack of help from the help files (of course they're beta). Any ideas Here's what I'm doing to render: //Get ready to draw the sky sphere graphics.GraphicsDevice.RenderState.DepthBufferEnable = false ; graphics.GraphicsDevice.RenderState.CullMode = CullMode .None; //Reset drawing states graphics.GraphicsDevice.RenderState.Alpha ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Video/Animation Playback

  Hi, I'm currently writing a library (for XNA/DirectX) for animation/soundless video playback, and I have a few design questions for the pros out there if you don't mind answering them : I'm having my animation class inherit from game component, and update the frame depending on game time in the overriden Update method, and render it in the overidden Draw method, but even when I preload my textures to render, playback is choppy. Not sure exactly why, but I notice this only when I have significant number of frames (I noticed it with 100 frames, but *not* with 10/15). This problem may be linked and solved by the 2nd point, so please read on. When I preload all the textures for the frames in the animation (and the no. of frames ...Show All
