• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Multiuser games?

  Just curious... but has anyone used XNA/C# to develop MOG's or even MMOG's AndyL wrote: Good to see you have a healthy degree of scepticism as well! I can't show you the stuff I have, but it's physics engine code and runs just as fast in Java - this isn't the case in .NET by the way. I also suspect you overestimate the degree of optimisation of games and middleware code - those companes want you to believe they have perfect and amazingly fast code. Even though you can't show us source, if you've done accurate profiling, you could easily tell us exactly where your engine is slower and probably why if you disassemble those sections and look at the IL. Give us real data and not handwaving and excuses. ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net client for a secure Java web service

  Hello, I want to create an .net client for a secure Java web service, deployed under SSL. I want this client to accept whatever server certificate. With Java + Apache Axis, i1ve done that using the following line of code: AxisProperties.setProperty("axis.socketSecureFactory", "org.apache.axis.components.net.SunFakeTrustSocketFactory"); Is there a way to do something like that in .net thanks in advance If the certificate is not trusted, expired or not issued for the server, the client will refuse to talk to the service. Unlike people, who can make some conscious decision about whether they are willing to trust a service given something is fishy with a certificate, a service cannot do ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Application only works in debug mode

  I just want to know if anybody has encounter this bug I wrote an app to interact with hardware and try to prompt the status of CTS. It works fine while i debug it. but i start losing data while running in normal or release mode. the only factor i can think of is speed. but it still couldnot explain why the app is not working properly. Any suggestion Oh my point is not about the cts thing. it's more about if anybody has experienced this type of bug before. like the app runs fine during debug mode and not during release or normal execution. sorry for the confusion. ...Show All

• SQL Server AS2000 only using 2GB even when /3GB is activated

  I've done everything to enable the use of more than 2GB memory for AS 2000 according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295443 Still, according to the task manager, the process msmdsrv.exe stops growing around 1 996 000 kB. I've added the /3GB in boot.ini and set the Memory Conservation Threshold in Analysis Manager to 2.7 gb. I've also checked that the HighMemoryLimit was set accordingly in the registry. OS: Windows 2003 server Enterprise Edition Memory: 3 GB AS2000 sp4 Any other settings/limitiation I've missed Actually, later today the memory usage finally past 2GB, obviously it wasn't needed until then. I stayed at 1.9 so long even though users were querying it heavily so I thought it d ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DependencyProperty

  I am very new to Windows WF Development so I apologize if this is a dumb question, however, it seems like this would be a common task so I thought I would ask. I am trying to create a custom activity that will allow a user to choose an item from the fabulous provider model. For the sake of reference, let's pretend I had the code for the System.Web.Security.RoleProvider class. In addition, let's also pretend that I had the code for the providers that derive from it (AuthorizationStoreRoleProvider, SqlRoleProvider, WindowsTokenRoleProvider). From my perspective right now, I'm viewing the desired output as the listed "properties" within visual studio 2005. I am trying to accomplish 2 things, and I debated placing these in 2 se ...Show All

• Visual C++ Resolve unresolved DLL symbols with definitions in .obj's for an EXE

  I have a complex application that I am trying to convert to VC++. I have reduced a run-time problem occuring in that application to the following sample code. I have tried this code under VC++ 6.0 SP6 on W2K, and VC++ 2005 Express on XP SP2, both with the same results. The general structure of the code is a very simple DLL and EXE. There is a single header file, and the DLL and EXE each have one cpp file. Header file "linkme.h": #ifdef _EXPORTING_LINKME_H #define DLL_DIRECTIVE __declspec(dllexport) #else #define DLL_DIRECTIVE #endif DLL_DIRECTIVE void printValue(); extern int value; // declaration of value // as having external linkage CPP file &q ...Show All

• SQL Server Report export to Excel

  Hi, I need to export various reports created using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to ONE Excel workbook (with multiple work sheets - tabs - one for each report). Is there an option in Reporting services that can allow me that Thanks. I'm sorry, I don't think I understand what you're trying to accomplish. Each row in RDL will get rendered to at least one row in Excel (depending on the content of the row and other items on the page, it may span multiple rows). I can't picture how you would want it to work differently; if you can explain in more detail, maybe I can give better guidance. ...Show All

  Hi everyone, I need to create a server control which visually is a table consisting of two rows, one holds the header of the table and the next holding the content of the table.

• SQL Server Modifying data directly through Enterprise Manager

  If this is the second thread, I appologize. I created one earlier and can't find it, so this one is just in case the other doesn't turn up. Bottom line, I have customers that need to be able to modify data in SQL 2005 Management Studio just as they did in SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager. They are used to opening a small table, returning all rows, and making their changes. I see the open table option in SQL 2005, but I can't figure out how to get it to save my results. Help! Isaac Shloss, MCSE You can just change the data. With navigating to the next row changes will be commited to the database. HTH, Jens SUessmeyer. ---- http://www.sqlserver2005.de ---- ...Show All

What we are trying to do is create an excel connection that dynamically creates an excel file under the covers. You will use the excel connection just as you would use a regular OLEDB connetion, to create your package, as if you are working with a static Excel file. Hope its clearer. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development 24 hr time handling

  Hi, I wonder if you have any tips on this subject; My app will be running in the background and perform tasks on certain times and also react differently on certain events depending on the time and date. For example, if a certain button can maximum be allowed to be pushed 15 times a day, how would I do And say after being pushed three times, it cannot be pushed for the next 30 minutes and then I could push it three times again before it gets disabled for a while. Thankful for tips. And if you want to store this information to persist it across restarts - a handy way to store DateTime value is to use ToFileTime() method to convert to long (and FromFileTime to get back). ...Show All
