• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Audio works on PC but not 360

  Has anyone run into an issue where the audio works fine on the PC version of the game, but when you compile it for the 360 it does not I'm using a shared Solution, and have the content directories mirrored, and the content in the project is mirrored. The XACT file is set to copy always in the content pipeline. I see it create the banks and everything when it sends it to the 360, but there is no audio. Any help would be appreciated! The game runs fine with exception of missing audio. There are no compile errors. Other projects do work fine on the 360 with audio. ...Show All

• Visual C++ trying to use localtime.....

  Hello...I'm trying to have it display the local time of the users location.....It's weird that TickCount is in Environment:: .. but LocalTime is not. How do you get it to get the local time ! Thanks. GetLocalTime returns a void you cannot initialize a string with that and you cannot pass an unintialized pointer to GetLocalTime - well you can, but... Use this instead: SYSTEMTIME st; GetLocalTime(&st); System::String^ s = System::String::Format( "{0}.{1}.{2} {3}:{4}:{5}" ,st.wDay, st.wMonth, st.wYear, st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond); System::Console::WriteLine(s); -- SvenC ...Show All

• SQL Server ALTER DATABASE MODIFY NAME but

  Leave the file location/directory the heck alone! How do I do this Just issuing: ALTER DATABASE Old_Name MODIFY NAME = New_Name moves the mdf and ldf files to a new, unwanted location (apparently the SQL Server default as it's under program files) with the new name. Is this possible or do I have to issue the additional ALTER DATABASE MODIFY FILE statements for this Hi, ALTER DATABASE ... MODIFY FILE command modifies the names of data files of the related database.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ADO.NET vNext Installation problem

  I attempted to install ADO.NET vNext today, but upon starting the install wizard, I was prompted with a message box stating: "Could not access network location VisualBasic\ADO.NET vNext CTP\1033\." I have previously installed the .net 3.0 framework, Visual C# express 2005, Visual Web Developer 2005, and the May 2006 Linq CTP.

• Visual C# Is it possible to execute c# program in background

  I am writing a simulation in C# (VS 2002) preliminary estimates show that the program will run for 3-4 weeks. When the prototype runs it takes over 99% of the CPU. I would like if possible for the simulation to use limited CPU resources when the PC is in use and take over all the available resources when I am not using the PC. What are my options Thanks Alex You can try lowering the process and thread priority. You may still encounter contention for other resources (e.g., disk IO). Some other options are: - Detect user input idle period to throttle processing. Windows message processing provide a hook for this, I think. - Implement it as a screen saver (not too familiar with this) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Approval check-inpolicy

  Hello! Developer works on x number of filesand is ready to checkin. Before he checks it in, an approver has to approve his changes. He is not actually going through each and every file and checking for changes, but kind of getting an overview what has been changed. Once the approval is obtained, developer can checkin his changes. I tried enabling the check-in notes, but this is only on the developer's end where it's just enough to enter comments in the code-reviewr section. How can we acheive this in tfs without having to use the shelving\unshelving process Thanks!
