• SQL Server Using composition to create new specialised components from multiple sub-components?

  Hi, In another thread Jamie Thomson very informatively said " The components in SSIS are deliberately atomic (i.e. they do something very specific) so that its easy to put them together to build something greater than the sum of the parts". Which does make a lot of sense. However, I've been finding that I end up having to create exactly the same "pattern" of combined transform components again and again in order to solve the same problem but in different dataflows (or even within the same dataflow). Cut-and-paste-tastic! In order to obtain real re-use, it seems to me like SSIS is crying out for an easy way to create new components by using composition - i.e. the ability to take commonly-used combinations of existing ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Fullscreen mode doesn't seem to work for me...

  Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any insight into this. I have my app, and it runs fine in windowed mode, but when I switch it to fullscreen mode, the display seems to clear the screen to grey every frame.  I initialize my gfx component like so: gfx = new GraphicsDeviceManager ( this ) ; gfx.PreferredBackBufferWidth = preferredWindowWidth; gfx.PreferredBackBufferHeight = preferredWindowHeight; gfx.PreferredBackBufferFormat = SurfaceFormat .Bgr32;  //I tried this thinking maybe it wasn't in a well supported mode that the graphics card knows.  This doesn't work. gfx.ToggleFullScreen();   gfx.SynchronizeWithVerticalRetrace = true ;   Even if I reduce my draw code to somethin ...Show All

  Besides removing this feature from Office during setup, is there a process to remove this virtual printer from 300 users with roaming profiles on an active directory network We are having an issue with this printer assuming the "default printer" selection for our users.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Audio Playback problems in Vista and Windows Server 2003

  We make a dll that is able to play any number of Audio files using subgraphs patched one or to any number of audio renderers present in the machine. It also does samplerate conversion and scales any bitdepth of sample. The problem is that on XP/2000 it works fantastic and when you try and run it on either Vista or Server 2003 it becomes unpredictable/unresponsive and you loose control over the subgraphs. I have trie reading all sorts of documenation and what others experienced but found nothing that explains or helps me to correct the problem. I suspect (pretty sure) the threading have been altered in the directshow but would like to have this confirmed and what im supposed to do about it. BMS-Joppe I don't think the ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "Download Dialog" from an XBAP

  According to these: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480229.aspx and http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970910.aspx I can fire off a "Browser Download Dialog" from within an xbap, which I assume would enable me to give a file to the client.
