• Software Development for Windows Vista Possible but difficult?

  I had windows XP installed on a partition, i created a new one for vista but now having deleted the XP partition I want to make the vista partition larger but am unable to do so, is there any way of resizing the vista partition I have tried in the storage section of computer management, but no joy, i can shrink or expand any other partition but not vista. Problem might be that it's in an extended partition, and the free space is before the vista partition not after, if this is the problem, does anyone have any options for a more comprehensive description (and screenshots) please go here: http://www.danielbyrne.net/blog/ p=5 Thanks in advance!

• Visual Studio Express Editions TextBox Question

  Is there a way to only allow integers to be entered into a textbox I would think that this would have to be checked after the data is entered. Please advise. yes there is. you can use the keypress event on the textbox then do the checking, if its not a numeric character then handle it. Example: 'textbox keypress event if Char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar) = false then e.Handled = true end if ...Show All

• SQL Server Capturing ISS Log data

  I am quite new to Reporting Services and need some help figuring out why i can't correctly capture the referrrer information in the IIS Logs. As far as i know when you run the data extraction tool provided with RS it copies the logs into the staging db, from there it then copies all the data into the WSSFact table in the actual db. I thought that if i entered a URL into the referrer table that when it populates the WSSFact table it would check to see if the referrer URL matches any of the entries in the referrer table and if so enter its id, otherwise enter the id for No referrer. This seems to work fine for all existing entires in the referrer table but it ignores the new one i have added. Does anyone know if there is something else that ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. rotated text

  Hi all, I'm trying to rotate a text by certain degrees. I tried doing it by using 'Mesh.TextFromFont' method. Before calling 'Mesh.DrawSubset' method i changed the world matrix. The problem I'm having is that I have to scale the mesh to the size I want it to be, but when I do that the text looks really bad, really really bad (depands on the amount of scaling, ofcourse). How can i solve this problem I didn't found a way to set the size of the mesh. I tried doing it using 'Font.DrawText' method, but I couldn't rotate it Is it possible Please, don't send me to the SDK example I've already viewed it and did not manage to solve the problem. Thanks. You could use Font.DrawText to render to ...Show All

• SQL Server DDL Extraction

  Does anyone know how to pull DDL create statements out of a SQL Server 2005 EE database for existing objects I'm mainly concerned with indexes and constraints. If possible I can create the statements myself if I can get all of the information out of the databse.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Weird backface glitch

  I'm not sure what's going on here; I wouldn't be surprised if it's just my video card. But has anyone seen this before cellphone_rendering_bugs.jpg That's a series of screenshots I took as the model rotated... the original model in Maya has all its normals facing the right way. I exported it as an FBX200611 model. I'm (unfortunately) using a Compaq Presario with an NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE video card. I thought it might have been a matter of the near/far draw limits being too far apart and the Z buffer lacking the precision to draw this relatively small area properly, but I turned it down to 1.0 -> 100.0 and it still happens. Any thoughts Well, this isn't a good sign; DirectX Viewer crashes immediately ...Show All
