• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Beta2: 3D Object faces not appearing with CullMode=None

  CullMode is set to none, but faces are not being shown on the same object (simple cube), but you can see the object behind it just fine due to the transparent texture. Hard to explain, but these should help. I can't see any reason that some of the faces would just not appear with culling off. I hope someone can see a simple resolution here, or if it's a bug. Screenshot: http://www.cybra.net/gd/images/Beta2-SCProblem.jpg Project: http://www.cybra.net/gd/TransTest.zip Great, all the faces appear now with those two set to false. The rendering is still not quite correct but it'll be close enough for now. (Sometimes faces behind will not be overlaid by the transparent texture of the face in front.) ...Show All

• SQL Server Instead Of Trgger Marked Not For Replication Kills After Trigger

  Kill may be overdramatic, but... I am te sting a merge publication with a push subscription.  The publication contains a single table.  That table has an INSTEAD OF UPDATE trigger marked NOT FOR REPLICATION and an AFTER trigger that needs to go off during replication.

• Visual Studio How to move VSS 6.0 db to new server and VSS 2005?

  I may be making this harder than it needs to be, but I need to migrate an old VSS 6.0 db to a new VSS 2005 db that's on a new server. I'm somewhat of a novice and really having a difficult time figuring out how to do this, even after reading Help docs and forums. Do I need to upgrade the VSS 6.0 install to 2005 before I can migrate Is there an easy way to "move" or "import" the old db info/history to the new server location TIA. Skugga Would I just copy the Data folder and subfolders from the old server (6.0) to the new one (2005) That seems too easy! ...Show All

• SQL Server Issue Exporting Date format to a delimited file.

  In exporting from a OLEDB connection to a flat file. In the originating table the field for DOB is in a varchar(10) format ex. 01/17/2007. The flat file connection destination is setup as a DT_STR. When you look at the OLEDB connection table preview you see it as 01/17/2007. When it is export to the delimited <CR><LF> <|> pipe delimited the format looks like this 01/17/2007 00:00:00. The issue would be resolved with a right ragged fixed width file. But this is not the requirement for the project format fot the file. I have tried delete and recreating the connections, and even tried doing a data conversation from the OLEDB connection to a char(10). Also, thourgh the transformation services with out any luck.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow application working in one comp but not in another

  Hello, My problem is the following: I have an ASP.NET application with a validation workflow inside. It uses the membership and roles mechanisms provided by ASP. In my computer the application works perfect, the workflow starts, does all its job and completes successfully, but when I move the application to another computer the workflow aborts after saving some changes to the database. The workflow starts, gets 2 different events (start and save) and then calls an external method to save changes to database. It saves those changes (I checked the DB and it's OK), and then aborts. The problem is that when the workflow aborts it doesnt give any exception message, so I have no idea what the problem is, and as it works perfectly in my computer ...Show All

Audio and video conferencing are added functions when you have an IM session open with another user. Hence disabling IM and enabling only audio and/or video conferencing is not possible." We hope this helps. Thanks Lisa (MS ISV Buddy Team) ...Show All
