• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Windows Media Photo image format support?

  Hi, Does (or will) .NET 3.0 support the new Windows Media Photo image format Thanks! Yes it does. Look for the WmpBitmapDecoder and WmpBitmapEncoder classes in the System.Windows.Media.Imaging namespace. Also, you can use the BitmapFrame or BitmapImage classes to decode Windows Media Photo files. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Limits of DrawPrimitive / VertexBuffer size

  Hi, The code I've been working on for the last few hours is a 360 version of some terrain code I had written for the PC. A huge gridmap of squares (each square is 4 triangles, not 2) drawn in a single call. Although I know this doesn't leave me many options for culling, I'll get onto that sometime this week. My question is about the limits imposed on the Draw call and VertexBuffer size. GraphicsDeviceCapabilities exposts a property called MaxPrimitiveCount, which for the 360 appears to be 1,048,575. Yet I've been drawing a grid of 1000x1000 squares (1 million squares, 4 polys each) which is over 4 million in a single call and as far as I can see it appears to be drawing all of them. What (if anything) does this MaxPrimitiveCount repr ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What does "homogeneous" mean, really?

  What does "homogeneous" (homogeneous coordinates, homogeneous clip space) really mean Even Wikipedia has an obtuse answer. The word homogeneous simply means "the same throughout", but what is the "sameness" shared by X,Y,Z coordinates The best definition of "homogeneous coordinates" I've found is "A set of n+1 coordinates used to represent points in n-dimensional projective space. [...] The coordinates are homogeneous because a scaling of each of the coordinates by the same nonzero constant doesn't alter the point to which the coordinates refer." That's an odd use of the word homogeneous. Another definition says, "A four-dimensional method of representing 3D space." But what's h ...Show All

• SQL Server How to export the result of a sql 'for xml' query to an xml document

  I have a sql query with a 'for xml explicit' clause. I would like to export the results of the query as an .xml file. I specify the query as 'SQL Command' in an OLEDB source adapter, but I don't know see an adapter that I can use for the destination. Any ideas Thanks. Thanks.  I will order Donald Farmer's book.  I tried using an Exec SQL task and saving the result to a string variable, then using that variable as source to an XML task.  I wrote a simple XSLT transform to copy the document and I set SaveOperationResult = True and DestinationType = FileConnection.  I get  errors on the Exec SQL task even though the query runs fine in Query Editor.  ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Scrollbars

  Apologies in advance if this question is in the wrong spot. I've tried searching forums, msdn. kb's... everything I find doesn't seem to apply and I don't understand why something that should be so simple to do is giving me such a headache. :) I have a WebBrowser control on a form that is used to display information. As data is added, the code does a "ScrollTo" function so that new data is always displayed at the bottom of the control. If someone is trying to view data and they move the scrollbar to "look back" then when new data comes in while they are scrolling, the form jumps to the end of the display and they have to scroll back to where they were. Using the scroll bar to move back, or placing the cursor in th ...Show All

• SQL Server How extend excelRendering

  HI, I have a problem. In my report I used a custom funcition to convert seconds to string (because I want to show the amount of hours.. if I use format hh:mm:ss when the amount is greater than 24 exaple 25 this format shows 1 as hour)... now, when I export the report with excel I have the necessity to have DateTime and not string. There is the possibility to extend the excel rendering Can this help me Have anyone some idea Thanks I think you would want your custom function to return the type System.DateTime. Then when the Excel export looks at the value of the textbox, it will see the DateTime type and put that into Excel as a date. You will probably need to apply formatting to this in the Format property ...Show All
