  When you get done with you game and sumbit it, crow about it here. A little over 24 hours left until the deadline and I'm so amazed I'm done, so much better than college Thanks to ZMan for his help, good luck all. I'll post the source code for my submission once the deadline hits. Bill I just submitted mine. Unfortunately, it has a couple of glaring problems. I considered not submitting it, but decided I'd worked to hard over the past week to not at least enter it. I'll post an updated version for the community over on gameprojects.com within a week or so. Tom ...Show All

• SQL Server merge replication - how can I synch

  we have a merg replication running in three regions UK,USA and AU my question is in one of our test environment testers managed to get a few tables out of synch while the replication is out. we have re-established the replication since then and it worked fine untill they try to update records from those out of synch tables. as usual we get conflicts. we don't really know how many tables are out of synch either. we have about 500 tables. is there a way to synch tables from with in the merge replication thanks greg!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Collision detection - Howto

  Hi all, I'm trying to make two objects collide in GSE, actually in a Pong game - between the bat and the ball. I have motion for both, but no collision, the ball just leaves the stage so to speak. Any help would be appreciated. I have looked in the Help, but to no avail. I got it working for a 2D object.. basically you have to set the Min and Max of the BoundingBox to the minimum and maximum co-ordinates that your object can take up on the screen. So if I had two 50x50 boxes whose positions are x1, y1 and x2,y2 respectively: Vector3 minv1 = new Vector3 (x1, y1, 0); Vector3 minv2 = new Vector3 (x2, y2, 0); Vector3 maxv1 = new Vector3 (x1+50, y1+50, 0); Vector3 maxv2 = new Vector3 (x2+50, y2+50, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) orcas alpha

  maybe it is not 100% linq related (I personaly think that it is ;p) on friday first public alpha of vs orcas has been relased (or is it vs2k5 on net4 steroids ) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=82243606-d16d-445c-8949-9ee8c10cda2e&DisplayLang=en aviable as vpc image. some info @ dowload page I've not seen anything new in the Orcas CTP; in fact it supports only a small fraction of the LINQ features. I think its purpose is more to keep us informed as to where they're at with productization. I don't consider this disappointing - I'd much rather MS take time with this and get it right, given that they're changing C#. In the meantime, we've got the LINQ preview to give an idea of t ...Show All

• SQL Server JOIN Filters and Non-numeric Keys

  I expect that this is not possible but: I've created a initial filter on our tblLocation. I've created a join filter on the header table for our inventory data. I've create a join filter on the header table for our inventory detail data. The joins between the inventory header table and the inventory details table is on a three field key which are of type nvarchar. When I try to sync a subscription, I receive an error which indicates that it cannot bulk copy into the inventory details table on the subscriber because it would create duplicate keys. There isn't any duplication at the publishing server so, I expect this has something to do with the data type of the key/join fields. Am I correct If so, is there a workaround. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development MSJVM patch for DST?

  Hi, We're currently in an XP (pre-SP2) environment and I'm trying to find any information about the MSJVM and the upcoming DST change... I was under the assumption that the MSJVM pulls the date-time information from the underlying Windows OS, thus a specific DST patch for the MSJVM is not needed. Is my assumption correct Do we only need to worry about applying the DST patch to Windows itself thanks! Wazoo, I am trap on the same boat. Did you get your answer I have MSJVM installed and needs to know if it relies on OS for time zone or has its own compiled version of TZ files. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Fseek inside a Win32 DLL

  Hi All, I have created a Win32 DLL for i am passing a file pointer to a function that is implemented in the DLL like: int Function1(FILE* ptr); Function1 is implemented inside the DLL as int Function1(FILE* ptr) { ...... fseek(ptr,0,0); ...... } But after fseek , it is getting crashed with unhandled excepyion and I found taht it is inside _lock_file() function. Am I doing anything wrong here Regards, I forgot to specify something: the dll and exe must be linked dynamically to the C runtime, not statically. If they are linked statically each will have its own runtime and file pointers may not work correctl across runtimes. Other than this I don't know any other reason for a file pointer t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Slow Visual Basic IDE

  i know this might be a redunandt question/issue regarding the slow perofrmance of the IDE in Visual Basic, but i have a bit different symptoms; the IntelliSense is working fine, but other features like, saving the document, or adding new lines or detection of syntax errors (the blue line takes a while to appeare or disappeare)! i tried doing the tips that were mentioned in other threads, but nothing is working. some posts actually said that removing the Navigation Bar helped, i tried to do so but it didn't work, because the Navigation Bar is stuck and doesn't want to be removed though i unchecked it in the Tools>Options>Text Editor>All Languages. i have Visual Studio 2005 SP1 installed, on windows XP SP2 machine running o ...Show All

• SQL Server Unary operator ignored in parent-child aggregation

  Hi, I have defined an unary operator column for parent - child hierarchy. But it seems that it is considered only in sums on the same level . When rolled-up it is ignored.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Support for msbuild

  We are still using make and makefiles for building our huge CAD/CAM applications and would like to migrate to something better. We don't want to migrate to the current VS C++ project files because our applications have a very complicated, multistaged build process: We have some Code Generators, CORBA, managed C++ assemblies, automatic unit test procedures and the like. Therefore the current VS C++ project files are not really an option, because: They are fuzzy to administrate: For example updating compiler switches can be a error prone process. The format of the Project files is not properly documented. So, here my questions: When will direct msbuild support be available for VS C++ If this is not in Orcas, what would y ...Show All
