• SQL Server Timeout error while executing Oracle function

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. collision detection with backbuffer

  Hi, i am new at gamedevelopement so... i am trying to do a collisiondetection method over the backbuffer. I am trying to make a 2d game with 3d objects (not sprites because the objects with light and so on looks much better) and couldnt make a very exact collisiondetection. I had the idea to use the backbuffer data with renderTarget2D class and make different layers (wich are not rendered) in which i could detect pixelcollisions between the 3d models on my screen (between their shadows for example) after i check collision before with boundingBox or boundingSphere. Because i am new to this stuff, my first question is: Is this slowing the game very much Or is this the worst method to detect collisions between Objects Tee ...Show All

• Architecture Architecture for Notification based application

  I need to develop a notification based system in .Net. Basically as and when certain data gets updated, the client machine is informed about it. There would be a windows based application running across all these clients. One way I was thinking of was to have the clients poll the server for any updates at frequent intervals. Whenever the Server does an update it would post the update into a queue. Every client would poll the queue for any updates. Would like to know if this approach is alrite or suggest an alternative architecture. Thanks Sai MSMQ supports IP mulitcasting - meaning you can broadcast the same message to all clients. Because it's using IP multicasting it won't work accross subnets (unless ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Subscriptions <-> Scheduled Reports

  This question is in regards to using the ReportingServices2005 WebService classes with C# .net 2.0. What I am having trouble with is how to relate a schedule to a subscription. The piece of functionality that I am trying to duplicate is adding a report's subscription to a schedule (on the Subscription:{report_name} page's subscription processing options under the asp.net "Reports" app). How can I programmatically set a report's subscription's "subscription processing options" to use one of my existing Schedules Some things I have tried: - use ListSchedules to get a list of reports, use ListScheduledReport(scheduleId) to get a list of reports related to a schedule (this is great, it gets me the reports, but I ...Show All

  I've got a table containing (among some other columns) 3 different type columns. TABLE xxxx as int type 1 as string type 2 as string type 3 as string date as Date First i'd like to select the number of counts each of these appear in my table. I realized that it can be done by union 3 select statements each grouped by a type. select type1, count(type1) from table group by type1 union select type2, count(type2) from table group by type2... Now this is time consuming and not what I would like to do Secondly i'll try to do something like SELECT type1 , SUM(CASE WHEN MONTH(date) = 1 THEN 1 END) AS 'Januar' ,SUM(CASE WHEN MONTH(date) = 2 THEN 1 END) AS 'Februar' ,SUM(CASE WHEN MONTH(date) = 3 THEN 1 END) AS 'Mars' ,SUM( ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Manifest files for Vista

  Hi, For some of the exes of my product, I need administrative privilege. So I embed them in my application with "requireAdministrator". It works fine on Windows Vista and prompts for allow/deny or administrator uname/password as applicable. But the same program has non consistent performance on previous OS versions(XP, 2003 Small business etc). It shows blue screen sometimes for the applications where these manifest files are embedded. One can avoid these blue screens if the embedded manifest file is also present in the same directory as the exe for other OS. I do not want to make my application dependant on the presence of manifest file in the same directory. Is there a way out Is there a tool to find whether an embedde ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Question about the Command Line and Console.write()

  Hi, I have a project that I'm working on for someone. They have a command line shell which is basically just the cmd.exe shell with a bunch of bat files in the path. However, I was asked to write a program that would take some input (in the form of arguments) and output stuff to his console. I decided to do this in c# but not I'm having an issue. When I do a Console.Write("something") it writes it to a new console window instead of from the command prompt where it was called. Basically, what I want is this: <from the command prompt>: c:\> something.exe hello everybody hi everybody! /// from something.cs: SomeMethodThatPrintsToCommandLineFromWhichIwasCalled("hi everybody") is this even possible ...Show All
