• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio has hung. What is it doing?

  Hi, I have set up a new VSTS4DB (sorry if that's the wrong nomenclature) project and am importing an existing schema into it. That schema* has over 1500 tables in it. It has successfully created over 11000 files under the project folder and they all have a Last Modified Date of approximately 12 hours ago. Since then Visual Studio has been in that oh-so-lovely "Not Responding" mode. CPU utilisation is consistently about 50% and it is devenv.exe that is using it - so its definately chugging away at something. Some extra info: My project is part of a solution that is managed by Team Foundation Server We use TFS source control so once it has finished what it is currently attempting to do I shall be attempting to add all these ...Show All

• Visual C# How to detect Windows XP, 98, 2000, me by pre-compiled directives or some ways

  Please tell me ways to detect Windows XP or 98 or 2000 or Me in C# code, like this: #if defined('WINDOWS_XP') //... #endif Thanks for your response. If you use precompiled directives, the output will be resulted by your own OS, not the target OS. I don't think you wan't to use that. If you do, just define the operating system in the beginning of the source file. But if you like the program to react on the users OS version, you can use the Environment.OSVersion to determine the current operating system. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Need a pbuffer overview

  Could somebody please point me to an overview on using pbuffers in DirectX (Or if they go by another name in the DirectX world, please let me know.) Google search is being surprisingly useless, getting details but no overview. In particular, I want to know how to: 1. Render to texture and then apply that texture to something. 2. Render to texture and then read that texture back into main memory. Example code would also be appreciated. Thanks, Ken There is no pbuffer analog in D3D. Actualy OpenGL PBO extention is replica of DirectX mechanism of rendering to texture. Simplest code in SDk that uses this functionality (creating textures possible to set as render target and actually setting them by SetRenderTarget) is Blobs. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Are they updating DirectX.UtilityToolkit to xna?

  This is a really nice way to do dialog type windows in directx. It would be really nice if this was converted to xna. Is it at least being worked on for a future release No, they are not porting that to XNA. They also didn't port the Mesh or Animation classes, as such (although some of the processing functions are now found in the Content pipeline). XNA is only a moral successor to MDX 1.1, it's not a "MDX 2.0" product. ...Show All

• SQL Server Subtotals in Matrix for data other than Data Section

  Hi, I am working on a report with a matrix of 3 Row groups and a column group (Month). The data section contains the aggregate (sum) of Data 1 for the column group. The subtotals per Row 1 and Row 2 shall be displayed. Based on a parameter selection, we should display subtotals of Data 2 rather than Data 1 but always data section should contain aggregate of Data 1. The subtotal concept totals only the data in data section. I need data section as it is (aggregated by column group) but the subtotals for Data 2 aggregated by column 1. Can any one help me in this regards. Let me know if it is not clear. Regards, Chiro. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game.UpdateComponents order

  I was wondering if there is any specific order in which GameComponents are updated within the Game.UpdateComponents function, or if there's any way to ensure that components are updated in a specific order. For example, if I create a GameComponent to manage input, I wouldn't want it to collect input at the end of Game.UpdateComponents, because it would be another tick before the entities used the input that was collected. I would want it to update near the front of the Game.UpdateComponents loop. Is there any way to ensure update order Thats the reason i dont think im going to use the component pattern much. Having an easy way of specifying ordering and changing it later on is very important IMO. I normally base my game loop aroun ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 and issue with ActiveX-control

  Hello. I have a trouble with calling win32-function TrackPopupMenu from ActiveX in new Interner Explorer 7 (RC1 and all betas). The situation is: I have some ActiveX-control - "MyPopupMenu". This control is being used to show context popup menu. To do it, it used win32 function from winuser.h. There's an issue with one of them - TrackPopupMenu. Control has worked fine in IE6, but in IE7 it doesn't. When TrackPopupMenu is called in non-dialog window, nothing happens! There's no popup menu (it was constructed by calling CreatePopupMenu and InsertMenuItem previously). But popup menu still works fine in dialog windows (ones that created in script by window.showModalDialog). Can anybody help me THX. We have a s ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP6: Retrieving of data from VPF table (.dbf) through website

  Do I have to write asp scripts to achieve this Is there any tutorials for the beginner Thank you. No, you can definitely stick with fox coding for this. Activevfp ( www.codeplex.com/activevfp ) is a free and open source vfp tool that lets you easily create multi-threaded vfp web apps to do just about anything. Multi-threaded is key for any web app since multiple web browsers could be hitting the application at any one time. If it is not multi-threaded (or simulated multi-threaded as many of the commercial vfp web products are) then clients will have to wait one after the other. ...Show All

• SQL Server How to have more than one INSERT-EXEC active at a time.

  Hi, I have written a master proc which calls another proc (say proc1). This proc1 has insert-exec statements, for eg insert into #temp exec proc1. i.e. multiple times the proc would be nested. This the err thrown : An INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested. Is it possible to resolve it.. You simply cannot nest insert..exec statements. By using global temporary table, you are not avoiding it. You can create the temporary table outside of the SPs and insert into those from each SP. This will allow you to workaround the restriction although performance may not be that great. Also, you may want to look at converting these SPs to inline table-valued functions for better reusability. You can also use non-inline version if performance is ...Show All
