• SQL Server Web Sync: strange behaviour with the snapshot size

  Hi There's *strange* behaviour with snapshot size during subscription initialization. So... The initial snapshot has size about 9Mb at the publisher. After subscription creation, I notice that the subscriber downloads about 21 MB. It seems to me, that the snapshot is unpacked on the IIS, next, part of the files are packed again and just after it the changed snaphot is sent to the subscriber. Why How it can be solved It brings some extent nuisance... Thanks Paul Not only does subscriber apply the snapshot, it also has to check if changes were made between the time the snapshot was created and the time it was applied, and if so, apply/upload/download them as well. Maybe this is ...Show All

• SQL Server OLAP Intelligence Assistance--actions question

  Is there a way (I'm pretty sure there is) to link the tabs in OLAP Intelligence cubes so when a dimension is updated in one tab, it will update throughout My idea is to use an Analysis Button to execute an Action which will update each tab. Anyone know code that will do this (write this in MDX language) or have ideas for better/more efficient processes Thanks in advance ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is there a way to specify the namespace in the DLinq Designer?

  I am referring to the May 2006 CTP. Am I missing it Or is it not there If not, it seems like a necessary feature. Without it, some may be forced into editing the generated code. I see a setting for naming the DataContext. This seems like a natural place to be able to edit the namespace. Thanks. You guys got me on my birthday...I am not sure that one counts. ;-) I took the day off and slept all day. Been staying up way too late, far too many nights. And wouldn't you know that would be the day you guys would sneak out the release on me...and early to boot! The good news is that the March Orcas CTP and I have the same birthday. I don't suppose I could convince you guys to coordinate the RTM release for the same day in 2008, could I ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. tiled background texture

  Hello there, I'm wondering if it's possible to draw the 2D background of my game with a texture that repeats. If this isn't clear think of the background of Arknoid where the background is simply a rectangular texture that's repeated over and over to cover the background. Thanks, Barranger You could just draw your background texture over and over again until you covered all the area that you needed to cover. I don't think there is anything built into XNA to do this for you. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rotation help

  I think I'm being dense today, but I can't figure this out for the life of me. I have a model that I want to rotate across the X and Y axis. My issue is that when I rotate across the Y axis, I always want the rotation to occur as if the axis was vertical in terms of world space. If I multiply by my X rotation first, obviously the Y axis moves with it, so rotating about the Y axis will rotate it about its transformed axis. If I multiply by my Y rotation first, the X axis moves with it, so my X rotation is now turned along with it. I basically want to rotate downward and then left/right independently from what the actual transformed axes become...or, rotate left/right and then downward independently.  When I rotate about the X, it shoul ...Show All
