• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 2 models on one game1.cs?

  Hello, I have followed the first three starter videos for game making in 3d, and they have worked. But, I now need to know how to put a second model into my game, and then a third, etc... Here is the code from my game1.cs Some of it may be untidy, but I can fix that at a later date. I have already loaded the second model into the pipeline, but I am unsure of how to draw the second model to the screen.

• Windows Forms caller ID c#.net

  hi developers... i want to do a windows form that showing caller id.. i ha ve a external modem which support caller ID so who can show me a way or example code You might be able to look at some of the TAPI Interfaces for programming your interface code. As the above poster says you will need to find out how you modem passes the information through. You might be able to get the information using hayes commands. All in all you might also want to ask the question in the .net communications forums on this site to see if those guys know how to get it. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is there any plans to add networking to the XNA API?

  I read that XNA does not support networking in the FAQ. And I realize if it was provided there would be many security considerations to keep ill thoughts at bay. But, does microsoft plan to add limited networking to introduce online XNA gaming possibilities Maybe through a strict set of web services I know XNA is new, but XNA would be limitless if we could rent server space from microsoft or some other 3rd party. They are planning, at some point in the future, to release a professional version of XNA that would have the APIs for the XBox Live communications. Currently, you can implement your own system, but only for Window's games. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do i edit or delete reports?

  good afternoon everyone i was just wondering how do you edit or delete the default reports in VSTS Thanks Hi Kardi, You can edit or delete the reports for the team projects that are already created by going to the following address http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx in your Application Tier.

• SQL Server R

  How do i replace that character in a derived column Some rows have that character in one or more columns. If i just write this column == "" Unknown : column where the character is inside "" (can't write it here) the task will just succes without ever doing anything. The output says something like "the dataflow task had no tasks.....", which seems like a bug. I think thats a new line character. If you are using an OLEDB source for your data, you can just do a trim() on the column to get rid of it. ...Show All

• Visual Basic RunAs in Visual Basic

  Hi, Is there any way to use a VB form to supply user credentials to the Runas command in command prompt I basically need something exactly the same as the GUI for RunAs but just for Internet Explorer (yes I know you can right click and go RunAs but that cant be done in this case). So the user would open this VB form, type their username and password in, hit OK and it would open Internet Explorer with their credentials (they log in under a generic account used by many people). I have researched this for a long time and not having much luck... Hi, One of my colleagues has created a script to do this now, so I don't need to persue this anymore although I may try what you suggested just for the sake of learning about it so thanks. ...Show All

I am attempting to use the warehouse filed "Current Work Item Microsoft_VSTS_Scheduling_CompletedWork" and add a "Date Week" perspective to it, but obviously that will only return the value of the "Completed Work" field at the end of the week (and is actually a sum of all Completed Work thus far.).  I need to report the change in completed work by developer by work tiem.

• Windows Search Technologies No Search Results with German Keyboard

  On English Language Windows XP SP2 with English WDS either 3.0 or 2.6.6, I find that some searches return no results with a German keyboard. Like many companies, we use a single English-based SOE, and only change regional settings for international locations. An example that consistently returns no results is "ipass", the name of our remote access dialer, though there other terms that also return no results. Another symptom of this problem is that if the search is run when indexing of the drive has only just started, it appears that the search returns every item that has been indexed. I'd guess that "no results" is probably what one gets when the number of matches exceeds some threshold. Because of the large numbe ...Show All
