• 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. Update() should definately be called as often, or more, than Draw(). Physics should be decoupled from draw rate anyhow and there are lots of logic which needs to be done as often as possible; putting network reads in Draw() just doesn't feel right... ...Show All

• Visual Basic ADO Recordset Filter Query

  Hello, I have a recordset that will have data looking something like the following C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 AAA BBB CCC DDD EEE FFF AAA BBB AAA DDD EEE FFF AAA BBB DDD DDD EEE FFF I want to consolidate the ADO Recordset on C1, C4, C5, C6 and discard C2/C3 . If this was pure SQL I would write a query something like: Select Distinct C1, C4, C5, C6 ... Is there a way to do this to the ADO Recordset maybe using the Filter() method The recordset I am working with is quite large (10,000+ records) so I wanted some optimized way of doing this. Thanks. Dwight One last thing I forgot to add... If you would like to stick with ADO and can't seem to filter out columns(fields) prior to retrei ...Show All

• Smart Device Development UPNP_E_EVENT_SUBSCRIPTION_FAILED

  Hi all !!! This project on developping upnp device will definitely make me crazy. I'm getting a UPNP_E_EVENT_SUBSCRIPTION_FAILED error whereas I'm using the microsoft sdk implementation.

• Visual Studio Team System Error when two rules with same check Id exist

CA0001 : Error loading rule 'AvoidFinalize': Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'CA5032' Key being added: 'CA5032' Now the problem is that the above rule is not from the dll which was selected. The above rule "Avoid Finalize" is from the 2nd dll which was not selected when I ran the code analysis tool.

• SQL Server Mining XML from file

  Right now, when i want to load contents of XLM file, i have to use openXML which looks this way: declare @idoc int declare @doc varchar(max) set @doc='< xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1250" > <root> <tag> <content1>xxccxcx</content1> . . . <contentXY>sf</contentXY> </tag> </root> exec sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc output, @doc select * from openxml (@idoc, '/root/tag',3 ) ( and here is whole select procedure) insert into ( table name) from openxml (@idoc, '/root/tag,3 ) (and here it is again) This is quite "useless" for daily using, unless someone fills the text field with new data.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How do you work with repeating areas in C#/Word?

  Filling in an XMLArray from C#. I have been searching and searching but I cannot fint a good example on how to make a part of a word doc dynamic and use C# to populate it correctly. This is a sample to show what I want to do. The word document is a simple page that shows a Customer Name, Address, Zip, Phone Number and then has a area for Contacts (Name,Cell,Work) that can happen from 0 to 100 times. When a button is clicked (Figure 2 below) the document loads information from a Web Service and populates the screen with information from a passed XML Object (Figure 3 below). The XSD(Figure 1 below), based on what I have researched, should be set up to accept the fields required, but I cannot figure out how to fill in the repeating Cont ...Show All

• SQL Server ODBC TCP/IP Dynamically Determine Port check box

  Hopefully a simple answer: *editted for clarity* Where does the "Dynamically determine port" check box come from when creating a ODBC connection using TCP/IP in the client configuration Only shows up in the control panel/adminstrative tools/Data Sources (ODBC) when it is installed. I have 3 computers here that have it (they are for development) but I am finding my users desktops do not have the box and so I am getting errors trying to connect from their desktops. I am using Excel and Microsoft Access 2000 to connect to the server using the ODBC connection. I need my users to connect to SQL Server 2005 so I need the "Dynamically determine port" box checked to find the port. Tried typing in the port but that isn't ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problems obtaining the GraphicsDevice in a component

  Everytime I try to write something I get hung up on the same problem. I can't get access to my GraphicsDevice so that I'd be able to draw things through components. I've tried several methods listed, such as these: graphics = Game.GameServices.GetService<IGraphicsDeviceService>(); (Where graphics is of type IGraphicsDeviceService) I then call a graphics.GraphicsDevice, but with no success. Another way I've tried to do things is getting to the GraphicsDevice directly through a public property in my component. The obvious thing to do would be to pass the default "graphics" GraphicsComponent into the component, and then use the GraphicsDevice property to draw things in my code. No luck. IntelliSense and the IDE wasn't able to ...Show All

• SQL Server Saving Auto Recovery Information

  Hi I am using the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to manage our database objects over a VPN connection. At scheduled intervals the system saves recovery information. The problem is that the location of the recovery files appears to be located on a remote server. This causes the UI to completely freeze while the operation is in progress. How can I change the location of the recovery files or turn off the Auto Recovery functionality completely. In VS2005 this is configurable in the Tools-->Options-->Environment settings. Thanks. Enterprise manager and SQL Server Management studio can be run side by side on the same box. Answer is, you do not need to uninstall SQL 2005 to get ...Show All
