• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Differences between Texture2D.FromFile() & Content.Load<Texture2D>

  Hello, I'm a new XNA and C# programmer and wondered if someone could explain to me the difference between using Texture2D.FromFile() or Content.Load<Texture2D> to load texture resources into an application Is there a benefit to using one approach over the other I looked into the XNA documentation but couldn't find any documentation the really differnetiated between the two approaches Thanks in advance for any insight, Kevin i doubt you'll notice any gain in performance for using the content manager or the fromfile() however, if you don't use the content manager... then you are going to have to keep track of how content gets loaded on your own... ie "hmm do i use the content man ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How do I intercept HTTP communication between a WCF client and a generic web service?

  How do I intercept HTTP communication between a WCF client and a generic web service in code If you prefer to use a tool like TcpTrace to intercept the messages (as opposed to using the message tracing facilities in WCF), you can insert a via element in your client configuration: http://www.winterdom.com/weblog/2006/04/17/RedirectingThroughTcpTraceWithWSEAndWCF.aspx ...Show All

• Visual Basic URGENT -- Problem with ActievX Control when deployed...

  Hi All, I am having this acgivex control which scans cards and stuffs like that, the initial problem was that the active-x control shipped with the product had a 3-4 seconds pause after scanning and populating the values onto my HTML controls. So we created a new active-x control using the shipped libraries and showed a splash screen during the pause. The whole stuff works fine when i run the project, but when i created the cab files and ran my web page, the splash screen comes up and just sits there, its not, I cant understand what the real problem is. If I remove the spalsh screen display the code works fine and the data gets flushed into my web page using a javascript which we have in our web page. Please help. I am attaching a pie ...Show All

• Windows Forms Minimum Height for Form?

  I can't seem to get a form of mine to draw at a height of 16 pixels. It always seems to add on an extra 16, I have FormBorderStyle set to None, not sure what's causing this I can't reproduce this either. The only restriction I see looking at the code is the MinimumSize property, make sure it is still set to 0,0. Other than that, Windows controls the minimum window size too. Look at the value returned for SM_CYMIN by the GetSystemMetrics() API function. Paul DiLascia mentions this in one of his MSDN journal columns ... ...Show All

  I have a VB windows app using a dataset with multiple datatables and a datagridview for the UI. Okay. I have the datatable. updates and inserts and deletes working.

• Architecture Approach for modeling a class to import/export information

  In my web app (C#), we need to import/export an infinity of txt, xls and xml files. I would appreciate opinions or experiences on how would be an elegant (though easy way) to implement a class/componentto deal with this. BTW, the mechanism will be always the same, that is, import some information from a file (xml, txt or xls) and save it to the database (we are using an ORM), or read some information in DB and export it to a file (xml, txt or xls). What about requirements Are there requirements for the format of the files What database is being used Does it need to support multiple database types Do you always import / export the same datamodel or can the user choose what tables / data to import / export P. ...Show All

• SQL Server How to retrieve the SQL query generated by processing a cube in ASSAS

  I have seen several posts which talk about looking at the underlying SQL for a cube in SQL Server 2005, but I have been unable to locate where you can do this. When I process my cube I do not see any SQL in the Process progress dialog box in the way you do with AS2000. I have tried running SQL profiler while processing but that didn't give anything either. Could someone help me out please Thanks In the processing progress dialog box, you should be able to expand the items listed and eventually get down to the detail of the SQL queries generated and executed. However, I find that using SQL Server Profiler works better if your source for the SSAS database is a SQL Server database. When you use P ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Is Media Foundation ready for software development now?

  Hi all I'm new to Media Foundation and spent several days looking for and studying its information. As you know, we can find very few documents currently. The main source is the MSDN online version and is still very immature. Since Vista has already claimed MF as its next-generation platform for high qualitiy multimedia presentation and the PMP/PE forced people who want to take advantage by OS-native protection to use Media Foundation instead of DShow (as you know, PMP only supports MF.), I think people who want to develop multimedia applications (well, maybe for Bluray or HD) should consider now to change from DShow to MF. But from the documents I read and from this forum I saw lots of unresolved issues (including the multiple ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Absolute and relative mouse movement

  Usually when dealing with mouse input you want the data from the mouse in two forms, one is absolute that you might use to draw a cursor or know which part of the window/screen a user has clicked on, and the other is relative where you are only interested in how much the mouse has moved. Currently, the MouseState only seems to report the mouse movement in the absolute form. This means anyone using the mouse to control, for example, a first person camera would find their movement limited by the size of their window/screen. I have tried playing around with the Mouse.IsCaptured property but it doesn't seem to make much difference, quite possibly because I don't know how to use it. Am I correct in thinking that getting relative mouse input dat ...Show All

  Which is the view for see the granted user privileges.
