• .NET Development How can I tell if I am being called from funceval

  Hi, How can I know from within my .NET code if I am running in a funceval I can check that I am being debugger via, System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached but as the funceval is hijacking I cannot tell from the stack trace if the call is from the debugger. Is there any method that works differently when in funceval Is there a way in unmanaged code to do this any pointer is welcome. (I know about the debugger attributes, but these are not an option) Thanks Eli The are quite a few places where the above solutions break down. One for example is when we are recording a mocking sessions. In a recording session we hook to all the calls made and replay them later. This works well if we dont break inside the reco ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How I get the skin weights?

  Hey, I am trying to understand how animations works in XNA. I have modified the content processor to get the vertex buffer of a mesh from a model in a raw data, and I believe that it is in the vertex buffer where the skin weights indices of each vertex for each bone is stored. Does anyone has some clue how to get the skin weights or how they are stored in the vertex buffer Or even better, does anyone know the proper way to retrieve the vertex buffer, index buffer and skin weigths from a model It will be easier to look up this data from the NodeContent tree before you call the ModelProcessor, rather than trying to examine the vertex buffer that is returned from ...Show All

• Visual C# Create a new object through the property grid

  My apologies if I didn't label this subject appropriately. I couldn't think of anything better to put as the title. I don't know if this is even possible, but I figured this forum would be the best place to find out:) I have a property: [ BrowsableAttribute ( true ), ReadOnly ( false ), TypeConverter ( typeof (System.ComponentModel. ExpandableObjectConverter )), Category ( "Inherited Physical Values" )] public Shapes. Shape Shape { get { return _shape; } set { _shape = value ; } } The Shape property is from a parent class, "Physical" and is inherited in many child classes. The Shape class is obviously an abstract class which has m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Out Of Memory error

  Visual Studio 2005 (8.0.50727.42) Visual SourceSafe 2005 (8.0.50727.42) I have a solution with a Web Application project, a Web Service project, and I've just added a Database project (old kind, not the new SQL Server Project type). The projects are each bound to SourceSafe on a remote server using VSS integration. This Database project has around 800 stored procedure scripts, and since I added these items to the project I get a delay of around 30 seconds to 5 minutes or more for any SourceSafe operation that I do. Most of these delays result in an error popup saying Visual SourceSafe | Out Of Memory. I hit OK to this popup and things continue, but things aren't quite right (VS still shows a file as checked out even though it managed to ge ...Show All

• Windows Forms BindingList.Add behaviour (Extremley slow!)

  I am trying to improve a bindable class that supports filtering. I use a class I found on a blog somewhere. After some fidling I get it to work, and I have replaced the Filter functionality with my own RegEx filter that works nicely. My problem, however, is that the BindingList.Add method is so extremly slow! The functionality is like this: I have a textbox where the user inputs his filter. On the Change event I update the BindingSource.Filter property, and run my own filtering code. When the user removes his filter, the original values should be shown again. This is when the problem arises. I have to clear the bound collection, and copy the values from the original collection back. This should be extremely fast, since it is an in-memory l ...Show All

• SQL Server HOW to browse KPI's Result Data through ADOMD.NET?

  Hi, My question is how to browse KPI's Result through ADOMD.NET I mean to get a KPI's Result Data, not get the metadata of KPI, not get the KPI's Value Property(String) either. I see the MSDN said about AdomdDataReader, but it doesnt tell how to get a KPI's Value. I guess, I need to get KPI's metadata first, and get a KPI's Value Property, that's a MDX, you know. Then I bring the MDX to the AS server, and get the result. Is it right But, if so, when i want to slice on a dimension when I check the KPI's result, how could I do I have got a KPI's Value Property MDX, then I need to modify the MDX to add the dimension slice to it manually Thanks. Via an MDX query, you can retrieve the various values associ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help with "Concentration" Game

  I am a student studying VB for the first time and I've run into a snag programming as assignment. It's a matching game consisting of 8 pairs of matching words randomly assigned to 16 labels. When a label is clicked, the word currently assigned to it will display. If two labels are clicked and the words match, the labels are disabled and change their color. This is done until all 8 pairs of words are found, after which a message box is displayed indicating the game is over. I am confused as to how I can randomize the list of words and assign them to the labels, as well as how to check for matching. Any help would be appreciated. you could but wouldnt recommend it.
