• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Transactions in DLinq

  Hi there, As I understand it DLinq automatically wraps any call to SubmitChanges() in a Transaction right Does this mean that all the updates made since SubmitChanges() was last called are guarded by the transaction I.e. that either all the updates made since SubmitChanges() was last call will succeed or none of them will be submitted Thanks, Ulrich Per the DLINQ overview documentation, SubmitChanges is not automatically wrapped within a transaction. You are responsible for your own transaction handling either with a standard ADO.Net transaction (db.LocalTransaction = db.Connection.BeginTransaction()) or preferably using the new ADO 2.0 TransactionScope.

• Visual Studio Visual SourceSafe on Cluster environment

  Hi, Can you please let me know whether Visual SourceSafe can be configured to be on a Cluster environment If yes, please let me know how it could be done. Kindly direct me to any document if possible. Thanks and Regards, dhino Hi Dhino, Visual SourceSafe is a client based application and there is no Server component to configure or run in a cluster environment.  The database simply consist of a number of files on a file share. The connection is based on the client being able to see the file share and all the files making up the database being available. Normally when I think about clustering I am thinking about  typically include database servers (such as Microsoft SQL Server), mail and collaboration servers (such as Excha ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 FTP Security Issue

  I have run into a security hole in my ftp site that has only now become a problem with IE7. The structure of my ftp directory involes several streaming media folders and a Client folder in the root directory. The contents of the client folder and its children are all password protected. Inside these folders I upload content for my clients to view approvals and allow them to upload files for my own use. The root directory has read-only permissions for everybody because of the streaming content I am hosting. In the past when a client logs into their ftp folder, the password protected nature of the client folder prevents them from moving up in the hierarchy outside of their folder. In IE7 however, I have found that a client can now leave he ...Show All

• Visual C++ minimum delay for timeSetEvent

  I have been using timeSetEvent for some time to record data from sensors/robots with a delay of 10 ms between events. This has always worked fine. Today, however, when I set the delay at 10 ms, the callback function is called only after about 20-25 ms. This is true even for code that hasn't been changed at all and previously worked fine with a 10 ms delay. Even when the program is doing nothing but writing the time to a file, the delay is still 20-25 ms instead of 10 ms. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I am not running a lot of other programs or anything like that. Thanks! hi, RobotBambi, I know before that it is capable to set a minimum time span to 1ms by using windows APIs, so it shoul ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. game creation program

  I am new to C++ but have experience in Macromedia Flash, 3d rendering and modeling, and I was wondering what is the program that I would need to create games for PC's and Xbox. What programming language would I need to know and what kind of training would be required. Thanks. -Smokey My suggestion to you would be to first start looking at the language you choose, then start looking into some sort of classes... But as you said that you want to try Windows and Xbox programming I would move away from c++ and head on over to C# and the XNA/Game studio Express systems. The XNA and Game Studio Express systems have been designed to be used on Both Windows and Xbox 360 by hobby developers. If you have a look at the GSE forums p ...Show All
