• Visual Studio Express Editions incremental linking is impossible, help please

  hi, I have been struggling with this problem for over 2 weeks, and i was told in one of the forums to try here. so here is my problem: I installed visual c++ 2005 express edition, and it works fine except the fact that it seems it has not incremental linking, it seems that for some reasons, it can't access the .obj files and update them (when I check their modification date, it shows the one from the last REbuild). I even disabled Norton antivirus and Zonealarm, thinking that they might have something to do. I have no clue what to do, and the size of my project makes impossible for me to live with this problem anymore. I can't wait for the whole source to REbulild after each modification !!! please, do you have any suggestions. Clic ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Clarification regarding EULA and Legacy ps_1_x Compiling

  According to the docs found in the December SDK for the page "D3DXSHADER Flags" in order to enable compiling via D3DX of HLSL ps_1_x profiles, we must include d3dx_31.dll in our distribution. To the best of my knowledge, the EULA forbid redistributing D3DX DLL files. This is based on the discussion on the DXDev mailing list a while back. What is the solution for this -Pat Let's re-phrase it: docs actually mean what DirectX redist included with you application should contain (and install) d3dx9_31.dll. There is an article in SDK documentation describing how to prepare slimmed version of DX redist suited for your app needs. ...Show All

• Visual C# app.config or settings.settings

  I want to write to an external app.config or settings.settings file that is located c:\windows. I have vs2005 how would I do this. i would then need to read this external file as well. I am taking that the app.config and settings.settings is the same thing. Application settings are stored in the app.config file. You'll find a section that contains each of your settings along with the type and default value. This allows the application at runtime to get access to the default settings available. If you define a setting as user scope then the setting will also be stored in the user's local config file (since they won't have write access to the app config). This probably only occurs when the use ...Show All

• SQL Server Composite primary key autoincrement from 1

A part of my database looks something lie the following: Tables: Orders(OrderId[int, PK], OrderDescription[varchar] etc...) OrderLines(OrderId[int, PK, FK], OrderLineId[int, PK], etc...) What I need to achieve is - everytime that a new line is inserted into an orderlines table part of the primary key will be the OrderId and the OrderLineId should be auto-incremented from 1 for each OrderId in the OrderLines table. I know i can do this manually in my program, but i'm just wondering if theres a way to achive this in SQL Server Thanks, Nick Goloborodko Hi BushGates :-) The two options are: -Doi ...Show All

  Hi I am having a few problems creating an index buffer for a triangle strip for a terrain section. I have a section similar to the following. 0 - 1 - 2 | / | / | 3 - 4 - 5 | / | / | 6 - 7 - 8 I define my triangle strip using the following indices also with one degenerate triangle, I have bolded it so it stands out better. 0, 3, 1, 4, 2, 5, 5, 3 , 3, 6, 4, 7, 5, 8 My first question is, is this degenerate correct it seems to be correct, but my next problem is what confuses matters as it really affects wether my terrain tile renders correctly without gaps. When it comes round to making my DrawIndexedPrimitives call, I have to specify the number of vertices, and the total number of primitives. I would have thought t ...Show All
