• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Data passed in vertexdecleration never arrives at vertex shader

  I have a custom vertex format with position, normal, texturecoordinate and noise1, noise2, noise3, noise4 which are all a single float. It worked fine untill I tried passing data in the noise.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SQL Stored procs and LINQ

  I just heard about LINQ the other day so excuse my total ignorance but ..... if I can use, what used to be called "in line" sql, in my VB code, won't performance suffer compared to if I executed the same sql from a stored proc (From what I understand, LINQ uses remoting so the apparent client-side code actually runs on the sql server, but a database stored proc is pre-compiled and cached. I don't know if LINQ code is). TIA, Barkingdog   DLinq does not use remoting - it translates your query in code into the relevant SQL. This SQL is then sent to the server and only relevant rows are returned. So code like this: var LondonersQ = from C in Customers where C.City = ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Detecting Multiple CE Device Connected

  I have a programming question on how to cycle through all connected CE Device through ActiveSync. Where do I post this You are correct in that you can only have 1 ActiveSync connection at a time, but let me clarify what I'm trying to do. If you have CE Device1 connected to PC, ActiveSync will detect it and establish a partnership. If I connect CE Device2, ActiveSync will ignore this partnership because it already has Device1 partnership active (this is correct behavior). But what if I disconnect Device1 I've heard from people who use to work in the ActiveSync team, that ActiveSync can automatically detect this 2nd Device when Device1 gets restarted or unplugged. Is this even possible Or can I programmatica ...Show All

• .NET Development Connection Behind Proxy, Router, Firewall!!!

  As title of post employs, I'm working on P2P Application all works fine if computers have Direct IPs without Firewall, Router or Proxy. I dont know how to connect to a computer which is behind one of these. I'm using TCP! Any Idea Best Regards, I assume you are behind some sort of home router/firewa/NAT/all in one network appliance If so, and you intend to use TCP over IPv4 then you must port forward the port you are connecting to. This must be forwarded to the machine that is listening for the incoming connection. See the manual of your router as most of them have a section dedicated on how to do this. Another alternative you have, depending on the OS version you are using, is to use IPv6 and their transition ...Show All
