• Visual Studio Possible bug in Debugger - Locals window incorrectly reports values of base properties for a derived instance

  Attached is some example code that demonstrates the problem. I've set it up to use the NUnit test framework. The problem is not with the tests. These all pass, which is correct. The problem is inside the IDE if you debug through the tests. Setting a debugger break point on the last Assert() allows you to see the values of the variables in memory in the Locals window. If you look at the values of the variable derivedValue it will correctly report that the property BaseValue equals 11 and the property RealBaseValue equals 10. If you explode the plus symbol in the Locals window to look at the "base" it reports that the field _baseValue equals 10 (correct) and the property BaseValue equals 11 (incorrect). The same ef ...Show All

• SQL Server Attached DBs coming online as READ-ONLY - SQL Server 2000 on Server 2003 R2

  Had a server that went belly up. ALL database files were on the SAN and were "supposedly" ok. We rebuilt the server to have Windows Advanced Server 2003 R2. Install went fine. Installed SQL Server 2000 SP4 + latest builds to 2187 and SQL Server 2005 SP1. That all went well. We attached a few of our DBs in SS2K and ALL of them are coming up in read only mode. We try to put then in normal mode my unchecking the read only option on the properties of the DB but we get the following error: ERROR 5105: Device activation error.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How does Vector3.Transform work?

  I have the following matrix 1 0 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 0 -1 0 0 1 0 1 and transform a zero vector by that. There is a transformation in the matrix, but I can't figure out how the math is done. Shouldn't this just be a 4x4 matrix multiplied by a 4x1 matrix For the fourth component of the vector, I tried just using 1. But when I multiplied them together by hand, I get a 0 vector. What am I missing Thanks. -Nick What do you mean "By hand" In my head that comes out to be: [0 0 0 1] Since you're casting that vector4 to a vector3 I might surmise the final value is chopped. I'm not sure what kind of transformation you're trying to do(it seems as though it might be the union of two different transformations) ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Can anybody help me out with some code...

  to get me started I know a little SQL [mySQL is what my hosting service offers], a little less PHP and even less Java - I am fighting the local live API - but I need to get some mappoints [name, lat, lon] pulled from a SQL database (actually it does not have to be sql, since our main database is filemaker pro and it is not sql - so if it can be done from a csv, or excel, or something along those lines... just as well] and map them... I actually have a ton of mappoints [4000+], though having them pulled based on the map that is showing might be too much to begin with..... Can anybody point me to some code that gets me started   Thanks a lot elwood Thanks - I guess I'll have to learn a lot more than I was hoping for ...Show All

• SQL Server Grouping Dimension Values

  I have a question about grouping values in a dimension. I have a dimension that relates to the age of a person. When I run my ETL we bring in the age as it was at the time of the load. When I display that age to my users in a report, I would like to group the ages according to internal usages. Example: Age 16, 17, 18 would be grouped into a group of 16 to 18, etc.... This provides to us a larger statistic sample set, plus it makes the reports much easier to read. I am using Reporting Services to generate reports, but I was looking to move the grouping logic away from the client to the Analysis Services server. I actually have several dimensions like this where I would like to perform grouping. I was considering using a Ca ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A way to generate beep through sound card

  I would like to generate a beep sound (for example a sine wave sound) with a particular frequency (Hz) and length (ms). How can this be accomplished with VB.net Rather than using pc speaker, I would like to use DirectSound or so... Thanks, but I can't find an example on TheZBuffer.com. I searched and searched... I found this piece of code: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/messagebeep.asp It seems to do the job, but how to extract only the generate beep part and convert it to Vb.net I'm just a newbie programmer, so if anyone can do this, I would be most grateful! So I need just the function to play a beep with frequency X and length of Y milliseconds. ...Show All
