• Smart Device Development Discover and Pair with Bluetooth devices

  Hello. I am trying to develop a Pocket PC app that uses a bluetooth GPS unit. I would like to be able to simplify the process of pairing with a GPS device by writing code to discover the GPS unit and pair with it. I understand (I think) that this is not possible at this time in the .NET CF 2.0 without using P/Invoke. My Question is where can I find some info and possibly some examples of how to implement something like this. I've tried Google, but perhaps I am not thinking of the right keywords. I would appreciate any help. The http://32feet.net library supports the Microsoft stack on Windows CE or XP and does Pairing (BluetoothSecurity class). There are samples for most of the functionality though not specifically the pairing stuff. ...Show All

• SQL Server Alter column name from SQL?

  How can you rename a column in a table (from c# code, preferrably from a SQL script command) without deleting the column and re-creating it with a new name Hello, SQL Server contains a system stored procedure called SP_RENAME which can be used to rename user created object (tables, column, sp's, ...) For more information, look at the BOL documentation on the subject http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188351.aspx (this is the 2005 version, but the system stored procedure also exist in previous version of SQL server) Hope this helps, ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problems implementing a skybox

  Perhaps somebody with more experience could help me. I want to implement the skybox example from the DirectX SDK (Samples/C++/Direct3D/StateManager) and I've copied and renamed the following files (skybox01.x, skybox02.dds and skybox03.fx) to my project folder and have added them to the content pipeline. But I don't get it managed to load the skybox with her texture and set the camera to the center of the box, I think because I don't know how to handle the effects of the *.fx file and how to transform the box correct. (I'm new to XNA and I only have tried out the simple 3D examples with BasicEffects from the help files so far.) So if somebody has the time to show me how to handle these files correctly, I would be very glad. (You c ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems integrating reporting services into a web app

  Hello I have an existing web app on my web server, and reporting services on my app server.  I'm trying to integrate the reports into the web app.  The problem is, when the user clicks 'execute report', the app, predictably, falls over, because the aspx page thinks it's on the same server as reporting services, whereas it's not.  Does anybody know how these requests from the aspx page can be redirected to a different server   The way I see it, if I can't get the integration working through url access, I'll have to use the soap api, which will involve dynamically creating drop downs for the report parameters, etc, which is moving away from utilising the advantages that reporting services brings! Any thoughts ...Show All

• .NET Development Can 1.1 and 2.0 framework coexist on the same box?

  I'm trying to get my legacy asp.net (1.1/C#) apps to play nice with future 2.0 development. I can get either the 1.1 stuff to run or the 2.0, but not at the same time.  If the 1.1 apps are working the 2.0 work returns errors that tell me that the frameworks are trying to use the same process and that this can't work. If the 2.0 app works then the 1.1 error out. I suspect that this is an IIS configuration issue, but being weak in iis I can't seem to find a solution. I was advised to look at the App Pool for the individual web apps on by server.  The 2.0 apps show as belonging to the 2.0 pool and the 1.1 apps go to the default pool (1.1 ).  The Application Name (Home Directory tab), is set to "Default Application" or is lef ...Show All

  I have seen this error posted here in the past but have not yet seen an answer. I am developing an RDA Pull on a Compact Framework 2.0 enabled device. I am following several examples all of which are very alike. (Including Rory Blythes webcast.) When I perform the RAD.Pull method I receive the error 28622 - " Internal Error: Failure setting up a non parameterized query, possible incorrect SQL query."

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. persistent backbuffer OR renderTarget (on 360) possible?

  I want to disable backbuffer clear. Though I have removed the Clear from my draw func it still gets cleared to black on Xbox360. Run the same thing on PC and the mystery clear doesn't happen (stuff I'm drawing correctly smears across the screen). I also tried to workaround w/ ResolveBackBuffer to a texture and draw this back at the beginning of each frame but thats not working for me either. In this case my Draw() looks like: Draw Backing Texture using Quad Draw new items ResolveBackBuffer -> Backing Texture I even tried double buffering the backing texture w/ no luck. Thirdly, I tried RenderTargets, but they also seemed to be getting cleared each frame as well! I would think there's gotta be a way for rendertarget contents ...Show All
