• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Session data or how to implement a client side transaction

  I've got a three-tier-setup: 1) Client tier. Using WCF to communicate to tier 2 2) Middle tier. Listens to WCF and uses TSQL to communicate to tier 3 3) SQL Server 2005 as database tier. A client opens a client proxy, sends a command to the middle tier, and closes the client proxy after use. The middle tier, when called, opens a SqlConnection to the SQL Server, does its stuff, closes the SqlConnection and reply to the client using WCF. This is working nicely, transactions in the middle tier work nicely, but how do I start a transaction initiated from the client, across more than one WCF call For this I would need to keep the SqlConnection open and reuse it, but where do I store it How do I recognise the client aga ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Changing sprite origin from top-left to center

  In the XNA help I see the following: The origin is a specific point on the sprite—by default the top left of the sprite (0,0). How do I change the origin to the center of the sprite Is this something that is done in the DirectX Texture Tool Thanks in advance!

The rectangle is probably using int to make sure you get whole pixels rather than part pixels and that you display on whole pixel boundaries. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2005 and Visual SourceSafe Nightmare

  It seems that we cannot do anything in Visual Studio 2005 without surreptitiously going out to SourceSafe and churning for 3-5 minutes.  Granted we have (unavoidably) made the mistake of placing the SourceSafe database on a network file share -- it does not explain these covert and constant SourceControl accesses. For example, loading the project does something like "verifying source control".  Why do we need to verify anything and why does it take so long   I can launch SourceSafe myself and verify faster than the IDE can. Refreshing the solution (recursively) appears to be doing just that -- RECURSIVELY refreshing the solution -- meaning the refresh of the SLN file causes a refresh of the child projects, and the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Registration for a classroom?

  I would like to use Visual Basic Express 2005 in my classroom. I know it's free, but can it also be used for the classroom If so, how do I go about registering it Thank you. Chris If you go through the registration FAQ on the express home page you will find that if you do use the system you need to register each install. One other option that you do have is to download the image file from the site (Following the manual Install Procedure) then install from there... According to the Reg FAQ if you install from the Image file you do not have to register the product, you will recieve the nag screen for the registration for a couple off application starts but this will stop.

• Software Development for Windows Vista TabletPC and Video Drivers

  I have a Toshiba TecraM7 tabletPC.  The display adapter on it is the nVidia Quadro NVC 110M.  Currently, Vista Beta build 5472 is installed with the latest of Windows Updates.  After the updates, the video display in the device manager is showing up as only "standard VGA."  I've talked with nVidia, who has this display adapter's drivers on hand, but they are only good for desktops [only].  I've talked to the tech support and they say that it is the manufacturer's responsibility for notebook and tabletpc drivers.  I then talked to Toshiba's tech support, and they have been almost no help at all.  The last response I got from them is "the driver must not be available yet."  Wel ...Show All
