• Windows Networking Development Communication speed

  Hello, I have some surprises with time measurements and would appreciate a reference to a statistic sheet or an article on the subject. I am doing a test in the fastest configuration possible : two PCs connected with a cross-cable. The interface is a 100BT Ethernet that can transfer theorically a maximum of 12,5 Mega bytes per second. The test consists of a little code that sends packets of 65.500 bytes (the length parameter of the WriteFileEx). The client marks the packet at its beginning (each packet a # mark), the server copies the mark at its end and the client when it receives the same packet compares the two marks to verify that everything has been tranfered. The client and the server use overlapped/IO. In this configuration, it is m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Needed IIS and NTFS Permissions

  Good day! Knowing me I've probably missed something, but after installing TFS the two admins (myself included) are the only ones who can connect. Being somewhat familiar with IIS and NTFS Permissions (actually just enough to be dangerous) we noticed that <machine-name>\Administrator, <machine-name>\IIS_WPG, and SYSTEM are the only users/groups who have have access to "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Web Services" directory. Should a group like <domain>\Domain Users also have access If so, any idea at what level and why the install would not have set this for us Thanks! that's interesting that you had the same issues. We're close to getting our new hardwar ...Show All

• SQL Server query for recordset data into sql table

  Hi, i have a recordset on an asp page and put into session now i want to move this recordset data from session to sql server table.how can i query this.Pls suggest me... any suggestion will be appriciable... Thanks Hi, depending on your version of ASP the work to be done can differ, but here is the ASP.NET 2.0 approach, if you have the data in the session: -Get the data from the session -cast it to a usable data object (like datatable) -Use a sqlcommand or datadapter to update the data on the database (depending on your implemented database interface, DML Command Access or SP access this can differ) HTH; Jens K.

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB express guided tour class example

  I recently downloaded vb express and began going thru the guided tour. I got to the part about creating a class and followed the instructions exactly. Then I come to the part about testing your class and the instructions don't correspond to what I'm seeing. For example, on the project menu there is no "Set as Startup Project". Also, when I choose Add References there are no projects listed on the project tab. Its probably something simple that I'm doing wrong but I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I was doing File-> Open-> New Project instead of File-> Add-> New Project. I knew it was something simple. ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How do I create and use 3D ranges in Excel-VBA

  It is easy to create and use 2D range in excel. The following code will do Option Explicit Sub Demo3DRange() Dim sh As Worksheet, r As Range, vData Dim Row As Integer, COl As Integer Set sh = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1") Set r = sh.Range(sh.Cells(1, 1), sh.Cells(100, 2)) vData = r.Cells.Value For Row = 1 To 100 For COl = 1 To 2 Debug.Print vData(Row, COl) Next COl Next Row End Sub When we execute the above code, the variant vData will become a 2D array of 100*2. Now my question is following: A)How do I create a 3D range in VBA code B)Can I assign that 3D range to a variant, and get a 3D array, just as I get 2D array in case of 2D range Thanks -Rahul ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Draw() called before Update()

  I noticed Game.Draw() is being called before Game.Update(), which doesn't (seem to) make sense. Is there any suggested way of dealing with this If Update() is supposed to, umm, update the state of the application to a certain local time, before the first Draw() there is no state ready to be painted to speak of. sounds like we are getting away from the issue, My vote on the update / draw order is for draw to be called first and then update. You should setup all the starting points in a method called from OnStart method. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Can I create an empty XNA project?

  I would like to make an empty XNA project, a project without any template code. Selecting the "Empty Project" template in Visual C# doesn't seem to enable certain XNA features, such as the ability to select the Content Importers and Processors in the Properties area of an image file. The only way to get these features is to create a "Windows Game" project, but that creates a bunch of template files that I don't want!
