• SQL Server Analysis server cube Performance through Excel 2007

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to save as HTML and more

  I have a couple of questions I hope someone can help me with. First, I made a program that generates a complete HTML page. That page is displayed in a text box and I just tell the user to copy and paste the contents into Notepad and save as .html Obviously this isn't the best way to do that. I want to upgrade that by simply having a button on the program that they click to automatically save and save it as an .html file so all they have to do is find the location they are to save it at. How do I do this What code do I put in the sub class for that "save" button Also, I have another program that generates some text in a textbox. Right now I just have the text box's visibility false until the user hits submit in wh ...Show All

• .NET Development Are static DLL's faster?

  I have a large number of pages and shared dll's and my shared dll's are static. What i've been trying out is having a small code behind which calls a static function on my shared dll's and passes the page.request to it. Now i'm wondering since i can't pass the page.request by ref is it costing me more to pass it by value to a static dll or would it be less costly to have everything in my code behind which wouldn't be static These pages will have millions of requests and i need all the resources i can get my hands on so i need the least resource heavy method. Thank you, Kam Hi Greg, Well what i'm referring to is if you have a non-static page then each page load causes your DLL to be loade ...Show All

  Hello, this is my first post. I'm working on my first project in XNA. Is it possible to create with this beta relase an effect that looks like sun screenshot of my project: link Sorry for my english. There are typically several different parts of doing a convincing sun in a 3D game: You need to render your objects with lighting, so they are brighter on the side that faces the sun. You probably also want to draw some kind of glow and/or lensflare to represent the sun itself. And of course you need shadows on the side of objects that face away from the sun. BasicEffect gives you three directional lights, which are plenty for rendering your objects, in fact you only really need one for an outdoor scene lit by ...Show All
