• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Quaternion Tutorial

  Could someone school me in using Quaternions in XNA I'd love to have a tutorial specfically for XNA. I read a tutorial that helped me to understand them a bit better, but still not sure how to plug it into the game. If you can believe it, the documentation doesn't explain it to well. Well, I don't know about a tutorial... and I'm certainly no expert on quaternions... but, the following is something I did to make the example from the XNA Game Studio's Express's help file more interesting. First, you'll need to complete "Tutorial 1: Displaying a 3D Model on the Screen" (this is part of "Going Beyond: XNA Game Studio Express in 3D" of the Getting Started section). Once you've completed that tutori ...Show All

• Visual Studio #if MSBuild ...

  Hi What #if statement can I use to detect MSBuild in my code I tried MSBUILD, but no luck. Do I have to define one I if, how regards Kjelli I'm using AzMan to control page/code access and are having trouble configuring this on WinXP. On the team build server / test site it's working and would be appropriate to have security applied. Please explain where I should put your statement. I've tried in TFSBuild.proj: <Project DefaultTargets="DesktopBuild" xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003 "> <PropertyGroup> <DefineConstants>$(DefineConstants);MSBUILD</DefineConstants> This is without the conditional statement.

• Visual Studio Passing Parameters to Crystal Reports 10 using Visual Studio 2005

  I have been looking all over the place and I am looking for a way to generate a stand alone Crystal Report using a parameter passed from a form in Visual Studio 2005. I don't want the report to be attached to a reportviewer, I just want the report to be opened with the parameters being passed to it. How would I do such a thing I have been looking for the answer and I cannot find it. Hi I figured out what was wrong with my report. In fact I consider this a bug, since in the vs 2003 version I use the same code with no problems at all and it works. The problem is when I use this line of code this .oRpt.Database.Tables[ "spGetAllMaterialForReport;1" ].ApplyLogOnInfo(oTLI); w ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MessageSecurityException problem

  I have a problem that's got me stumped I have a "self-hosted" server over wsHttpBinding, with message security and secured with a home-made certificate (for now at least), the clients are validated using a CustomUserNameValidator. This is in an intranet setting, but not in a domain, firewalls switched off.. From one particular machine I've got problems connecting to the service - I have the cert installed on the client in TrustedPeople (and using PeerOrChainTrust), the client finds the cert. - Before i switched off negotiateServiceCredential in the client I got either "the local security authority cannot be contacted" or another one that I cannot remember right now that stated something about something that does not ex ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why can I create an object to ref class on the stack in CLI?

  Hello! I got a little confused with the creation of ref classes. I have a ref class e.g.: public ref class A{ public :A(); public : virtual ~A(); } Why can I create in another object an A object on the stack but not a String object : public ref class B{ A myAObj; // compiles String myString; // does not compile, should be: String^ myString } What is the difference here. I thought it is only possible to create value types on the stack with the C++/CLI Is the myAObj really created on the stack or is it created on the managed heap too And what is about passing that "stack"-object to a function - is a copy created Thanks for any help...

• Visual C++ Using CLR

  Standalone using CLR Is it possible, if not, what are the advantages of using CLR Thanks, Chris If by standalone you mean an application that can run on a machine that does not have the CLR installed - then the answer is no it is not possible. Note: it is not possible to write a standalone Windows application. While it is possible to write a "standalone" regular C++ application it would not be a very exciting application - and I say "standalone" as it still require that the PC you run it on has Windows installed. The are many advantage to the CLR - for one a complete compiler geek like myself can write a forms application in an afternoon - something I couldn't do wi ...Show All

• SQL Server Understanding Estimated Execution Plan

  When I generate an estimated execution plan from Management Studio, one of the things I often see in the execution plan generated is an 'Index Scan'. When I put my mouse over the 'Index Scan' graphic, I will see a window display with something called 'Output List' at the bottom of the window. Do I understand correctly that SQL Server will scan my index looking for values in each of the fields included in this output list Thanks, Amos. Output list is nothing but the list of columns that will be projected from the operator (scan or seek). So this will relate to say the column(s) that are required for the join and/or referenced in the SELECT list of the query for example. There is a parent topic in the lin ...Show All
