• Visual Studio Team System Requirements for SpellChecking with FxCop 1.35

  I've looked everywhere (Forums, Google, FxCop documentation, GotDotNet website) and I haven't been able to find the requirements for getting the FxCop "spell checker" to work. All of the posts I see just mention the installation of "Office" - which is very ambiguous... 1. What version of Office 2. Which Products from Office are required 3. Do I *have* to install Office or can I just include the required DLL's in my FxCop folder TIA Dave You should be able to use Office 2000 and above Any product that installs the spell checker bits Yes you need to install Office.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom Policies: Purpose of IPolicyExportExtension and IPolicyImportExtension interfaces

  I would like to extend the WSDL contract with some custom policy. For this purpose I implemented the interface IPolicyExportExtension and the method ExportPolicy.

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Vertical Text and Gradient Brushes

  It would be nice to have a way to create vertical text without using wrapping. However, this does work. But if you set the Foreground to a LinearGradientBrush it repeats for each letter instead of applying top to bottom against the TextBlock. Is there a work-a-round for this Is this the expected behavior But if you set the Foreground to a LinearGradientBrush it repeats for each letter instead of applying top to bottom against the TextBlock. Yes this is expected behavior. I don't know of any workaround for this behavior. You would need support for a VisualBrush which WPF/E does not have at this time. -mark Program Manager Microsoft This post is provided "as-is" ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Capture Input Char

  Hello! I need to capture user input char before it'll be displayed in TextBox. But the KeyDownEventArgs contain only Key value, and i have to get its char representation. The same control in Windows.Forms had KeyCode argument in KeyDown event, that returned exactly what i need. Is there any way to capture input char Or maybe to get char from Key value Thank you. I think that what you are looking for is the PreviewTextInput routed event... This will gives you access to a TextCompositionEventArgs... which in turns tells you what is the TextInput for the event... This will allow you pre-parsing, replacement, ... The TextInput contains actual text that goes into the TextBox... Therefore, hitting dead keys or ...Show All

  I'm reaching out to the XNA Community for some good (and free) information on Artificial Intelligence and/or pathfinding Anyone know any ...or if not free, some book recommendations I'm not well versed in game AI (just theoretical), but typically AI is given a fairly small CPU budget compared to rendering, the bulk of which is taken up by pathfinding algorithms (in games where that is applicable). I don't think game AI has progressed that much in the last 6 years. I'm not sure about the rest of the book however... ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Cube texture mapping

  Here i would like to ask about the texture coordinate for the cube mapping. I know that cube mapping did not use the normal coordinate that we use for normal texture coordinate. But i'm getting problem in understanding how the cube texture coordinate works. Let me put example here. Below is the vertex and fvf declaration: struct CUSTOMVERTEX {FLOAT X, Y, Z, RHW; DWORD COLOR; FLOAT V, W, U;}; #define CUSTOMFVF (D3DFVF_XYZRHW | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE | D3DFVF_TEX1 | D3DFVF_TEXCOORDSIZE3(0)) And this is my vertex array: CUSTOMVERTEX t_vert[] = { { 120.0f, 50.0f, 0.5f, 1.0f, D3DCOLOR_ARGB(255,255, 255, 255), 0,0, 1, }, { 520.0f, 50.0f, 0.5f, 1.0f, D3DCOLOR_ARGB(255,255, 255, 255), 1,0, 1, }, { 520.0f, 400.0f, 0.5f, 1.0f, D3DCOLOR ...Show All

• Commerce Server Problem When Processing a Cube from Commerce

  Does anyone know why the DateDimensionView created with the Data Warehouse Configurator has the following SQL clause: select * from date where dateid > 0x0000000003E7 The clause "dateid > 0x0000000003E7" is preventing a cube, mscsSales, to be processed. What determines the value 0x0000000003E7 is to be used in this clause Thanks in advance! When the cube is processed I get the following error: "A member with key '000000000001' was found in the fact table but was not found in the level 'Date Id' of the dimension 'Date'.; Time:1/23/2007 3:22:24 PM" I think the problem is that the child class has records with id=0x000000000001 an the parent doesn't have this id.

• Visual Studio Team System Custom rule for DataReaders
