• Windows Forms Images do not appear in listview

  Hi all, I am using a listview and have images being shown in the first column, however these images do not show up every time.

  I took my free-look camera project to work to show my colleagues and when I tried to run it I get an InvalidCallException in my Program.cs on game.Run(); I don't have a 3D card in my work machine but other projects I've created on it have worked fine so I started a new project and copied the game components across and ran it.\ Now I get the same expection when I call DrawUserPrimitives, can anyone tell me what might be happening And how are you supposed to handle exceptions either in Game Components (which you might not have built) or in code Is there any more information on the exception you get How you handle exceptions is up to you.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Controlling Game By MIDI

  I'd like to be able to control directx games via MIDI - eg use a guitar footboard that has a pedal and switches etc to generate game controller events. All the vaguely related references I've found on the web are for using directx controllers to generate MIDI events! I want to use MIDI events to generate the equivalent of key presses, mouse buttons or (say) a throttle control. Are there any drivers that do this already If not, how difficult would it be to roll my own, and what would it involve I'm quite competent at C/C++ etc but most of my experience is in an embedded environment, not Direct X.

• SQL Server SQLDependency is very slow

  I posted this in the .Net data access forum with no replies, so I'm trying it here and apologize for the cross-post. I'm researching using SQLCacheDependency in an application to keep caches up to date between applications. I could also use SQLDependency, just haven't tried that yet. I've tried a test where I read 1000 rows from a database, cache each one, and create the cache dependency. The dependencies work fine. My problem is that it is 100 times slower to read and create a dependency than it is to just read the row. At this rate, I need a 99% cache hit ratio just to make my caches break even! Is caching even worth it at this rate Why is it so slow Thanks very much for any insight. Here is the code: for (int i = 0; i < 1000; ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Display resolution and font size

  Hi, It is my understanding that Vista has the ability to scale all text sizes according to the display resolution (i.e. 12 point fonts will actually be 12 ponts regardless of the display resolution). Has this capability been implemented in Vista Beta 2 If not, is it going to be I have tried it out with Vista Beta 2 and the text sizes still decrease as the monitor resolution increases. Thank you kindly. My understanding is DPI scales with screen resolution (i.e. as the resolution increases the size of each pixel descreases). So 1 inch represented by on a 1280x1024 resolution at Window's default 96dpi will be longer then on a 1600x1200 resolution. Hence text that are not TrueTyped becomes smaller a ...Show All
