• Visual FoxPro MS SQL Server or VFP Database???

  Hi every one, hi MVFPs, I am working with SQL Server database, but I wonder that I've got some big problem with SQL table that has more than 500,000 records. If there are about 50 connections access to that table with select, update,,, task, the SQL will become very slowly and return error message as: ....query out of time,,, or dead lock.... If I work with VFP database, there are about more 100 connections with command "use" the table, and so often tasks to seek, select, update.... but It still work well even if not too fast. And I have a VFP table with more than 1,5 billion records working hard like that. So now I don't know if I will working with VFP database or getting SQL instead because of the more security of usin ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem migrating to Visual Studios 2005

  I'm trying to convert a project i've been working on from eVC++ to Visual Studios 2005. The header files are in the same folder as the source files but apparently they do not exist when i try to compile. gives me a problem with my include statements saying stuff like "cannot find include file "StdAfx.h" \n Does not exist.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. D3D10 Sprites are insane.

  I'm trying to draw a single sprite to the screen. I have a window created (640,480) and the texture loaded in properly. The sprite drawing uses the code below in a Render() function. When run, the sprite does show up but is either tiny when scaling is not applied or skewed when scaling is applied. I know i'm messing up the scaling value, i'm just confused on what the formula should be for calculating it. Right now, i'm using example code from DXUT.cpp which says the scale should be (windowx/textureWidth) and (windowy/textureHeight). This gets the sprite close, but the result is skewed. Could someone please take a look at the code below and see if you see any glaring issues Thanks. Render() { // clear the target buffer ...Show All

• Community Chat JimmyWidgets

  --- Original Post --- Hi everyone! My current project is JimmyWidgets, a widget program like Apple Dashboard, but for PC! You can even make new widgets in DLL format and post em on the online database! When I've made more widgets (I've only got 2 at the moment), I'll post it at www.jimmyware.co.uk  . It's going to be open-source, so you can download the source from there too. Here's a screenshot: http://www.freewebs.com/robinjam/JimmyWidgets%5FScreenshot.jpg I await any comments/suggestions! (But please don't be too harsh about my efforts, it took me HOURS)   P.S. A list of problems I need to fix: The online database currently lets you download the same widget twice, making startup time longer (because ...Show All

• Visual C# Trying to determine Class by a string value

  I'm having a DUH moment here and hopefully someone can answer it before I'm bald... I have a string that contains the name of the class and I want to create a new instance of the class that's referrred to. I have: string classToUse = "StartMeUp"; I have a class called StartMeUp that does some function...

• Visual Studio Composing boilerplate components in Dsl designer

  I would like to create a component-like language much like the component examples. I my case, however, the components cannot be defined by the user, but have to be picked from a pre-defined list. Each component type will be represented by a geometry shape and a collection of ports. A diagram will consist of a collection of interconnected boilerplate components. Any ideas on how to go about defining the components in the Dsl designer Assuming that you fix the set of pre-defined components in the language, then you can create a component class in the dsl definition, and subclass that with the specific types if component you want to define. You will then need to write some custom code, a custom ...Show All

• SQL Server Executing Remote Stored Procedures in Triggers

  Hi, I've been scratching my head over this problem for quite a while. I have two SQL SERVER 2005 servers running on the same network, lets call them ServA and ServB. ServB is configured as a linked server on ServA as LinkedServB. On ServA, there is a database called DatabaseA, in which there is a table called TableAA, on which I wrote a trigger on delete. In that trigger, I want to update a table, lets call it TableBB, in DatabaseB on ServB. So the trigger looks like this: CREATE TRIGGER triggerAfterDelete ON TableAA AFTER DELETE AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; Update [LinkedServB].[DatabaseB].[dbo].[TableBB] set [SomeColumn] = 'SomeValue' where [SomeOtherColumn] = 'SomeOtherValue' END When I delete something from Ta ...Show All
