• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Slowing down the game

  I'm trying to slow down my game with the code below : protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime) .... if (bNextTick(gameTime)) { game.runState(); } .... private Boolean bNextTick(GameTime gameTime) { curTime = gameTime.TotalRealTime.TotalMilliseconds; if (curTime - timeNow > DELAY) { timeNow = curTime; return true; } return false; } ...........when DELAY is set to 13, there is no noticable difference, when set to 14 there is a significant slowdown. I cant seem to vary the slowdown between 13 and 14. Any ideas Are there better ways of slowing down the game Ah found it : this.TargetElapsedTime = TimeSpan.FromMilli ...Show All

• SQL Server Size limit XML type...

  Hi there, what does it mean limited to 2GB per instance for XML type It means that xml column can have only 2g size limit Thanks for your help in advance, Tris Thanks for your answer... In this article http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3565996 it say the limit size is 2GB per individual document. In my understanding, one row with one XML type can have a limt size to 2GB(per cell). I'm confusing with, one column XML type can have 2GB of limitation. I don't think it is 2 GB per column cause it doesn't make sense to limit to 2GB (not enough space for storing). Thanks, Anourak ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Office Document Customization in not available Excel 2003

  I am getting the same the message when I open my workbook on a shared pc. I have changed the security setting within .Net 2.0 Configuration Tools (mscorcefg.msc) on my pc and it works but the shard pc is using .Net 1.1 Configuration Tools (mscorcefg.msc).

• Windows Forms version of MSDE

  HI, How to check which version of MSDE is installed on a system. through my c# code Please answer bye You may want to switch to SQLExpress since MSDE will never be supported on vista. But probably best to probably check for MSDE version before the installation. That can be done through target file search and launch conditions. Just have the search look for the MSDE files and version that are identify the unique version you want. ...Show All

• SQL Server Grand Total Needed

  I have two subreports (Revenue and Expense) that each have subtotals. This works just fine, but I need a Grand Total that would sum the two subtotals. How would I go about doing this So it looks something like this: Revenue Report (matrix) Subtotal Expense Report (matrix) Subtotal <~~~~ Need Grand Total here. I'm not quite sure how to implement that since my revenue and expense report have a column for each month in the current year. Maybe I should draw it out a little better:   Revenue Report(matrix)                           Jan      ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to restore MainWindow to maximized on startup

  I tried to restore the MainWindow on application startup on the second screen. I saved some window position, Size and state on previous window shutdown. On startup i tried to restore the old state. window.Left = rectangleLocation.Location.X; window.Top = rectangleLocation.Location.Y; window.Width = rectangleLocation.Width; window.Height = rectangleLocation.Height; if (state == System.Windows.WindowState.Maximized) window.WindowState = state; Unfortunately the window comes up maximized on the first screen. Is the code above wrong or is there another way to do this. Unfortunately the Window APIs can not target monitor. One workaround I can think of is to set the left, top, width, height, show the window ...Show All

• .NET Development HttpWebRequest and ServicePoint

  Hi. I have faced a problem that I still cannot find solution for. I need to execute web requests to SAME web server using different source IP and port combinations. Yes, I know that I should use ServicePoint.BindIPEndPointDelegate and I use it. But my problem is that I have multi-threading application and because I use same destination address I got same ServicePoint instance for all threads and therefore can use only one combination of source IP and port in time. Does anybody know solution to this problem I'm using .NET 2.0. Thanks. Thanks for reply. I know that this bind delegate will be called and it's called. But you seems not understand my problem. Imagine I have 10 threads and have 10 local I ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# - Managed DirectX - Secondary Monitor

  Hi, I posted this question in the C# forms forum area a couple of days ago, and I thought perhaps this was a more relevant forum for the question. I am creating a program which uses the secondary attached monitor. The program successfully creates a Direct3D enabled window which runs fullscreen on the secondary adapter (using an adapter id of 1). This does in fact work smoothly and how I would have expected. However, there is a serous flaw which I cannot resolve. If something is clicked on the primary monitor (anything at all), the Direct3D enabled window on the secondary devices is minimized immediately (and naturally the DeviceLostException occurs due to the window being minimized). Somehow I need to stop the program from auto ...Show All

• SQL Server MAJOR PROBLEM: New SQL2005 installation performance problem.

  We are experiencing a major issue since upgrading from SQL2000 to SQL2005 over the weekend. Starting today, it appears that the performance of SQLServer reaches a limit every 15 minutes. Our configuration is as follows: Window Server 2K3 x64 Enterprise SQLServer 2005 x64 Enterprise HP DL585 with 4 dual core Opterons 32 GB of RAM 2 TB EMC SAN At first, I thought there was a memory pressure problem, since I had the default max memory set. After changing the max memory to only 25 GB (out of 32 available), the issue went away temporarily. However, after 15-20 minutes, the number of batches/sec dropped in half, and remained after half until I changed the max memory setting again. Over the course of the day, I was able to fi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Catching clicks on a panel or any other non-button-element

  Calling a function, when clicking a button isn't a problem. But recently I tried to catch clicks on a grid, but with no avail. Since these elements don't have a click property, I'm completely clueless how to accomplish such a thing. Anyone got some ideas Buttons convert mouse events to click events as the mouse event bubbles. Most WPF elements don't have click events; use the mouse events instead. Unless you want to intercept and modify the click event behaviour of buttons, it's better to handle the bubbling versions of the mouse events rather than the preview versions. The advantage of using the bubbled event over the preview event is that elements that have specific handling for mouse events will han ...Show All
