• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Fullscreen problems....

  EDIT: I am using Beta 2. I use this as the constructor method... public Game1() { graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this); graphics.PreferredBackBufferWidth = 640; graphics.PreferredBackBufferHeight = 480; graphics.PreferMultiSampling = true; graphics.ToggleFullScreen(); content = new ContentManager(Services); } Works great. But when I change the resolution to 800x600, all I get is a black screen. The loop is still running because I can still quit the program. I have also tried 1024x768, that works too. Thought maybe it was an aspect ratio problem, but they are all the same, 1.3333... I have tried turning the multisampling off to no avail. Didnt think that would be it anyways, I play World of Warcraft at 800x60 ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Device ID Data Type

  Hi All, I want to be able to uniquely identify a mobile device. I've discovered that devices have a Device ID but is only accessible via the Win API through PInvoke() calls. The article I found is here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172516.aspx PInvoking is not a problem for me. I actually found this article through a message board where someone actually had problems using it. 1) Is this article up to date and compatible with WM 5.0 devices Most Importantly 2) Is the device ID a GUID Or is it something else The article indicates it converts the final result into a string not a native GUID. This doesn't actually mean that the string doesn't contain a GUID though. I haven't run it through yet to see, but I do ...Show All

• SQL Server Iterating the rows of a script component

  Hi There, Can someone please let me know what is the best way to iterate the output rows of a script component and stick in those ids in a where clause of a select query (to retrieve additional info from a database) Is this possible at all If not, what is the best way to deal with this situation Thanks a lot!! Thanks Jamie. I will investigate it.

• SQL Server Converting negative integer from string to int

  I'm having an issue using the data conversion task and trying to convert from a negative integer that is bounded by brackets e.g, (1) for -1. I keep getting an error that the value cannot be converted although I've tried all signed integer types. A Derived Column Tx would be my preferred option, as this could be done in a single transform. There is no need for the split either. The following expression should do the trick. It avoids the need for any conditional processing, are we +ve or -ve type stuff. The only thing I have not catered for is NULLs. (DT_I4)REPLACE(REPLACE([Column], "(", "-"), ")", "") ...Show All
