• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Where is the download?

  It is 12:48 pm here (GMT + 1)... in Nuku'alofa (GMT + 13) it is tomorrow... So where the hell is my download link :-D It's just about 12:30 AM, my guess is you'll still have to wait several more hours, probably at least 8 and a half since the workday starts for most people in the US around 9 AM.

• Windows Forms Base windows form, that takes a generic type

  OK, so I'm trying to create a base Windows Form that implements the Singleton design pattern. I'm doing this because I'm building an MDI based application and I don't want a child control/form to exist more than once at a time. I created a SingletonWindowsForm that extended System.Windows.Forms.Form and had a static method for GetInstance. I extended that form from each of my child controls but kept having problems with types. So at that point I added a type to the SingletonWindowsForm so I could specify which type should come back from the GetInstance method. However, I couldn't do "new T();" per the compiler. :) Does anyone have a clue as to how I can go about doing this properly You'll need to deal with the fact that t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Writing to Global Shared memory from an Application in Vista.

  Hi all, Global shared memory is created by a service which is used by my user mode application to communicate with the service through global mutexes and events. This as of now works well in Vista RC1. 1) Are there any restrictions that an application should not write to global shared memory already created by service This application does not has any elevated privileges. 2) Can application created global named objects like event and mutex Again the application is running under a standard user privilege and not as admin. 3) Can a 32bit application on a 64bit machine get interfaces to a 64bit Local server COM object Is there any special processing required in the 32bit app or in the 64bit local server COM object.

• Visual Studio Team System Looking for clarification on CA1057 in the context of constructors.

• SQL Server SELECT DISTINCT on one column

  I know this is a popular problem, but i haven't found an answer to my situation. I have a table (myTable) with three Columns (Column1, Column2, Column3). Column1 entries are unique (with unique identifier), Column2 entries are not unique. I want to do a SELECT DISTINCT on myTable so that Column2 is unique and i get all the other columns. I thought something like this would work SELECT DISTINCT Column2 as Col2, newid() as Col1, Column3 as Col4 -- I am getting uniqueidentifier for each row as well This doesn't seem to work however. I still get all the rows because Col1 is unique. since i am using aliases, the usual syntax doesn't work either. any help would be greatly appreciated! If Column2 to is not uniq ...Show All

• Visual Basic Starting my application automatically

  I need to write an application for a friend that will start automatically when Windows XP Pro boots. The application is very straightforward - 3 buttons and a web browser control. The caveat is the users must not have access to the start button, start menus or any other applications on the system. Also, when the application exits the computer needs to shut down. I am using Visual Basic 2005 Express.
