• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DXUT on shutdown problem

  I am trying to use DXUT minimally in my application. I have an app class that is a local member of main(). This class has static wrappers for OnDeviceCreated, OnDeviceLost, OnDeviceReset, OnDeviceDestroy, OnFrameRender, etc that have been linked to DXUT. These static wrappers just cast pUserContext to an instance of my class, then call a real member function to do the work. I also have CD3DSettingsDlg and CDXUTDialogResourceManager as members of my class, so that i can support device selection and adjustment. Everything works fine until i try to close the app. When the main function returns the destructor of my app class is called, causing the destructors of CD3DSettingsDlg and CDXUTDialogResourceManager to be called, and then for some r ...Show All

• .NET Development How to decode chunked transfer encoding using HttpWebResponse

  Hello All, I'm calling a cgi script that returns a zipped file using the HttpWebRequest class. The web server sends chunked response. Response captured in Fiddler: HTTP/1.1 200 ok Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 10:09:47 GMT Server: Apache Set-Cookie: sessionID=1164881387; path=/; expires=Thu, 30-Nov-2006 15:09:47 GMT Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1 c13 PK Here's how i process the response byte[] data; response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse; responseStream = response.GetResponseStream(); reader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.UTF8); data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(reader.ReadToEnd()); This returns me only the first chunk. How do I read the remaining data thanks, Siwi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Keyboard cues problem

  Hello , Background: I've got a WinForms app written in C# using .Net 2.0. In this app I have a custom button class: public class ThinButton : Button The reason for having the class is to override the default painting. Specifically I want to draw a thin border and have a narrower margin between the button edge and the button text. This allows me to have a smaller button (to fit into tight places) that still looks good. The Problem: I have noticed that when I press the alt key on the keyboard (when running the app) the accelerator key mnemonics are shown underlined, as they should, for all controls, including my ThinButtons. When I press the alt key again, the mnemonics dissappear, as they should, for some control ...Show All

• Windows Networking Development Broadcast address

  I need to get the udp/tcp broadcast address for all local transport addresses in the socket's address family. I am not interested in 255.255.255.255. I would like to do a class broadcast. For this I need to figure out the class of the network the adapter is connected to. It would be nice to get the subnet mask of the network but that does not seem to be available. I have found a SIO_GET_BROADCAST_ADDRESS definition in the header files to be used with WSKControlSocket. This returns a not supported error. Is this truly not supported Would this return what I would want Does anyone know how to get the subnet mask for each of the local transport addresses in the socket's address family Thanks, Lou ...Show All

• SQL Server Get week number with changed @@datefirst question

  I want to get the week number (according to ISO rule i.e. if most of the working days fall in the JAN set it to as week number 1). I know one stored procedure is available at MSDN to achieve this task. It works fine for me if the @@datefirst is set to 1 (i.e. Monday) but i have a strange requirement of calculating the week number according to ISO rule but the start date of week can be any day for example Saturday. When I try to run that procedure with my unique criteria I get wrong week number for some years Can any one tell me the more generic solution Your help is appreciated thanx I gave a try but found the following problem such as 3 January 1986 2 January 1987 1 January 1988 etc are set to 0 (should be 1 for first ...Show All

• Visual C# ShDocVw.InternetExplorer BeforeNavigate2 event not showing headers

  I am using ShDocVW.InternetExplorer to automate a website. I have added the BeforeNavigate2 event so I can look at the page that will be accessed next. In certain situations when I detect that a file download is going to happen, I switch to using HttpWebRequest and HttpResponse to download the file. The problem I have is that when the BeforeNavigate2 event is called the headers parameter is null. I need to get the headers so I can get the cookies that are being sent. Does anyone know why the headers isn't being passed to the BeforeNavigate2 event Is there some other way I can get the cookies associated with the POST being sent to the website Regards Douglas ...Show All
