• Windows Search Technologies Does WDS update last access times of files that it scans and indexes?

  I'm beta testing a new utility (UltimateDefrag) that requires accurate last access time stamps in order to place the most frequently accessed files on the outer tracks of the hard drive for improved performance. I'm wondering if WDS updates the last access time stamps when it scans and indexes If so, is there a way to disable this without affecting the indexing and search capabilies of WDS Hello all, WDS should not be updating the last-accessed time of files that it indexes. There are, however, some other programs out there that do this (virus scanners are a prime example). Are you sure that the problem you are seeing is caused by WDS or could it be other applications Paul Nystrom - MSFT ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. simple projectile motion physics??

  im pretty new to gamedev, so simulating physics is new to me too. i know the projectile motion formulas, im just having trouble applying them. is there any "tutorial" on projectile motion physics for XNA basically, someone suggested to do "scorched earth". im trying to get the hang of just some simple projectile before i apply it to a game. i know i should basically have to just enter the initial velocity vector and the angle. then have it passed to a function that gets the initial x velocity, and initial y velocity. also, im assuming that whatever i get for y-velocity should be negative as "up" is negative in the XNA graphics. then, after each update, it should find the current change in position for x and ...Show All

• .NET Development getvalue , getfield

Instead of the value returned , i get only the name of the field as the value.... Whats the problem Kindly help me. as I recall if you do something like this Console.WriteLine(x); it will automatically expanded to Console.WriteLine(x.toString()); So if someone provides a meaningful toString method is up to him or her.

• .NET Development Usage of ParameterMarkerFormat for SQL Server connections (System.Data.Common, GetSchema)

  I'm quite new to ADO.Net so forgive me if I missed some obvious point. I want to write data access code and do not want to impose unnecessary dependencies on the database system selection. One of many things I expect to be specific for a database system is the way named command parameters are used in queries. This is handled by the common namespace by letting me gather a String.Format via GetSchema(). What I would expect is, that this format produces a database system specific parameter marker given a chosen parameter name, that is distinguished from the name itself, for example: DbCommand.CommandText = "SELECT ... WHERE ID = " + String.Format(markerFmt, "ID"); For an SQL Server connection, the markerFmt is ...Show All

• SQL Server Already have sql 2005 sp1 want to install sql 2000 on same box

  Most of the posts here for co-existence of sql 2005 and sql 2000 are for upgrades to 2005 or installing sql 2005 on a box already having sql 2000. This is a bit different.. I have an application installed on sql 2005 sp1, on a default instance, no other instances installed. Because of issues the application is having with sql 2005, the vendor is recommending install of sql 2000 on the same box ('should not have any problems' they say), then script out the user databases in SQL 2005 and back in to the sql 2000 instance. Has anyone tried this (installing sql 2000 after install of sql 2005) or can point me to an article about it I've googled around and searched the knowledgebase to no avail. thx ...Show All
