  Any general guidelines for looking into and dealing with crazy hiccups on X360 Every minute or so there'll be a good 0.5 - 1.0 second lockup followed by business as normal.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XamlWriter, MarkupObject How to ?

  I'm trying to serialize a tree of object in xaml in some designer app. some node of this tree refers to the same reference that i added to a resource dictionnary. XamlWriter won't serialize the reference to the dictionnary resources as a StaticResource + ResourceKey but i understand reading this post : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=286265&SiteID=1 that this should be possible using MarkupObject and modifying the ouput for some node. let say : Transform3DGroup TG1 = new Transform3DGroup (); Transform3DGroup TG2 = new Transform3DGroup (); TranslateTransform3D ts2 = new TranslateTransform3D (); TG1.Children.Add( new TranslateTransform3D ()); ...Show All

• SQL Server Replicating Schema Changes

  Hi there, I'm using Sql 2005 merge replication and I have noticed something, I'm not sure if this is true or not:... My publication is set to replicate schema changes (replicate_ddl = 1). Now, I have noticed that schema changes are only replicated if the current snapshot is valid. Is this right If so why My next question carries on from the first. If I'm about to run a TSQL script on my publisher that will add a column or two to a published table, how do I ensure my snapshot is valid inorder for the ddl changes to be replcated Should I be using: EXEC sp_mergearticlecolumn @publication = <publicationname> , @article = <article name> , @force_invalidate_snapshot = 1 , @force_reinit_subscriptio ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF job exchange forum/community anywhere?

  Does anyone have any recommendations as to how to go about recruiting developers for work (and finding jobs) on WPF I have tried to seek candidates the usual routes (users' groups, local advertising, etc.), without much luck. Is anyone aware of a forum or community for exchange of jobs/resumes that is specific/related to WPF. I haven't seen any posts around here on the subject, so while I haven't found any forum guidelines stating that job postings aren't welcome, I presume there's an unwritten rule that keeps this subject off the forum. Anyhow, the Windows Presentation Foundation is still an early technology, and I presume many of the "early adopter" developers frequent this forum. I would think an exchange of jobs and res ...Show All

• Visual C++ Calculation of power by means of Recursion

  hi, i calculated the power of a number with the help of a recursion: [code] double power(double x, int n) { double product; int count; if (x==0) assert(n>0); if(n >= 0) { product = 1; for (count = 1; count <= n; ++count) product = product * x; return product; } else return 1/power(x, -n); } [/code] But now i want to rewrite this function in order to ensure that the time to computer power(x,n) is only log(n). I think i need to use this formula: x^2n = x^n x^n. But i do not exactly understand how do i have to redefine this function, has anybody here some hints for that... :( matti   mattii wrote: hi, i calculated the power of a number with the hel ...Show All

• Visual C# Byte Array size.

  I'm sending a video frame from a server to a client. Now I know what size Byte array I should declare on the server side in which I'll store the picture and send it, however, I dont know what size array I should declare on the client side. Is there any way of finding out exactly how much data is coming in before i declare the array in which data will be stored It proving impossible to display that picture. One more thing, should i worry about the picture/frame header No Header is not a problem as far as you send complete bytes of image. Try this: Byte [] countbytes = new Byte [ 8]; int noofbytes = s.Read(countbytes, 0, countbytes.Length); long size = BitConverter .ToInt64(countbytes, 0); Byte ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Creating Execution Contexts

  I have a sequential workflow and 3 child activities. Now my goal is to make my workflow execute again from activity 1 when I'm finishin to execute the second activity (return back). What I'm doing to achieve that is overriding the Execute method on my workflow to provide some custom behavior and bind to the Closed event of each workflow. Like this: protected override ActivityExecutionStatus Execute(ActivityExecutionContext executionContext) { foreach (Activity activity in this.EnabledActivities) { if (activity is ControlFlow.ControlActivity) { ControlActivity controlActivity = (ControlActivity)activity; controlActivity.Closed += new EventHandler<ActivityExecutionStatusChangedEventArgs>(controlActiv ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions CSV as Program Structure Recipe?

  Sorry I am quite new to VB. I have gone through, what seams like tons of postings, but I am still having a hard time with this one. I am creating a Conversion / Common Math Equasions program. I was able to get it to work pretty good, but the problem I have is that for one it is fairly slow, and a couple of friends like it but they requested different interfaces from what I like, and adding additional equasions and things is a real pain in the but because everything is coded. I thought that perhaps I could use a CSV file (or somthing simular) rather than having to run SQL. Doing it this way I figure when I need to add additional things (equasions, factors, ect), I just have to add it to the CSV file, or even the end users can add thier o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Getting "EXECUTE permission denied on object 'sp_sdidebug', database 'master', owner 'dbo'"

  Hi, We just migrated to VS.Net 2005 and running into this issue during debugging. The problem is that when I run our app in debug mode, we get an error that says "EXECUTE permission denied on object 'sp_sdidebug', database 'master', owner 'dbo'". We never had this issue before when we worked with VS.Net 2003. I did some research about the issue. There are people believe that this is caused by having "Enable SQL Server debug" checked in the project property. But I double checked and none of our projects has that set. What's more strange is that when I go to the "master" table of the database I am accessing, there is no stored procedure named 'sp_sdidebug' in there at all! So I can't even add user/permissions ...Show All
