• Windows Live Developer Forums Humongous Javascript Api File.

  Hi, I am using v4 of the virtual earth control. But each time I open the page to view the map, it takes an age to load. I've used fiddler to detect the file sizes, and it seems the main file with the core script in it is 436,179 bytes, which seems huge. http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/v4/mapcontrol.js -- 168 http://maps.live.com/veapi.ashx v=1.3.1115150037.31 -- 436,179 Also the files are set to not cache, which means the files have to be downloaded each time! I checked the files for maps.local.live.com and it does not download one big file, but instead multiple small files. Ive summed the bytes for the whole page, which comes to about 582,228, but the actual mapping components only seem to add up to ~178,000 bytes, which ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to set variables from script task

  Hi, I have a SSIS package that copies a file from one location and puts in in another with a datetime suffix on the end. This works fine in the script task. I've then added some additional code to the script task to set a variable with this new file location. The variable value gets set in the code, as I have a messagebox displaying the value, but doesn't get set to pass to the next step. Public Sub Main() Dim Filename As String Dim FileLocation As String Filename = CStr (Dts.Variables( "AgencySpendFileNameWithDateTime" ).Value) FileLocation = CStr (Dts.Variables( "FileLocation" ).Value) FileIO.FileSystem.CopyFile(FileLocation + "AgencySpend.txt" , FileLocation + ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Audio Volume

  Hi, I have another question. Is it possible to display audio input and/or out put levels as seperate channels (Left and Right) I have two of the the VU audiometer ( http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/KEMA_Code.asp ) on my form. one named 'Left' and the other 'Right'. Any help would be great. Nope, It's C#, though it uses quite a bit of DLL calls, so it might look complicated at a first glance. Though, the class basically gives you two static methods. SetVolume which takes an int as its parameter, and GetVolume, which returns an int. So basically you should be able to copy and paste all of the code, and then just use those two methods (aslong as you just want to get or set the volume). I should add that I haven't ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rotate and translate

  It must be late or something because I can't get something pretty trivial to work. I'm getting input from the XBox controller...specifically the right joystick. Any Y movement is supposed to make my model move along the Z axis. Any X movement causes the model to rotate around the Y axis. Simple enough. When I move the joystick directly forward the model moves...if I move the joystick directly to the side the model rotates. When I move the joystick diagonally thus getting input from both the X and the Y axis the model does not both translate and rotate. It doesn't do much of anything. Heres my code.... if (state.ThumbSticks.Right.Y != 0) { Vector3 newPosition = new Vector3 (); newPosition.X = hm.Model.Bones[ " ...Show All

• SQL Server Instead Of Trgger Marked Not For Replication Kills After Trigger

  Kill may be overdramatic, but... I am te sting a merge publication with a push subscription.  The publication contains a single table.  That table has an INSTEAD OF UPDATE trigger marked NOT FOR REPLICATION and an AFTER trigger that needs to go off during replication. During Synchronization neither trigger goes off.  If I drop the instead of trigger the after trigger will go off.  What is going on Thanks, To set "Not for Replication" for an article, you should set through schema options.

• Windows Forms DragDrop to MonthCalendar control

  I'm writing a little scheduling application. Basically, I want to be able to drag drop items on the monthCalendar control. This works just fine. But I want to be able to drop them on a specific day on the calendar. I can tell the X,Y position from the DragOver event, but how do I translate that into the actual day they are dropping it on Or is there a better way MonthCalendar has the HitTest() method to find out where the mouse is located. It is however rather crude, you can just find out what area of the calendar you're on, not what date. So, I thought of a trick: fool the control into believing that the user clicked with the mouse. Then you can simply look at the SelectionStart property to find the date. Here's a simple Windows F ...Show All
