  I am starting to use CodePlex to host a GameComponent that I am creating. Has anyone had any experience in using Codeplex, VS C# Express I have the team explorer which works in my VS2005 Team Edition, but as far as I am aware GSE doesn't support Team System. Kind Regards, Paul Kinlan Hi, Yeah, I have Team Explorer in VS2005 Team Edition now, however the lack of support for the XNA in anything but express really means that what I am doing is a bit log winded, however it is better than nothing :) Kind Regards, Paul Kinlan ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro The size of a formular

  Please tell me, how can I know everytime, the size (widht and height) of the formular (Sizable) Thank you. What do you mean by "Formular" IF you mean the VFP Desktop, check the SYSMETRIC() function in the Help File, but if you mean a "form" then just read it's height and width properties directly. If neither of these, then I am sorry, but you must edxplain what you want in a little more detail. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) [WCF-RC1] Security problems... :-(

  Hi there, I've been struggling the last two days to get a basic security scenario running and I wonder if perhaps someone could help me out My example is based on the "SupportingTokens" example, however I wanted to change that example to take most of it's settings from configuration, rather than from code as the example stands today. Additionally, my service is hosted in IIS (and eventually the Client will be a website too) So this is what I have done: Certificate Setup: - Created a cert called "Client" and installed it into LocalMachine/TrustedPeople - Created a cert called "Service" and installed it into LocalMachine/TrustedPeople - Granted permissions to "NetworkService" to access the PrivateKey ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Some questions about using constant buffers

  From the documentation and the samples, the usage of constant buffers is not very clear: 1/ In HLSL, the usage of any constant from a constant buffer seems to be implicit in any shader. Are all constant buffers in a HLSL code supposed to be loaded even if not being used 2/ In the API, we just send an array of constant buffers. How does the API make the match between a constant buffer in the array and a constant buffer in the HLSL code 3/ What happends in case of mismatches or if the shader actually needs more data than provided Thanks for your help. pm. The intent in exposing constant buffers is to allow the shader to describe a contract between the application and the shader in terms of frequency of update of constants. Sinc ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using wimgapi.dll with VB6 - WimApplyImage causes VB6 IDE to freeze?

  I'm writing some code to use the wim imaging api wimgapi.dll with VB6. The code works 100% on capture, with the callback function correctly getting progress information and updating my form with progress bar etc. This works fine when run from within the IDE or from the compiled .exe. The apply image code is a problem though - the WimApplyImage code locks up the IDE part way through. When run from the compiled exe, I get no progress messages to the callback - I do get all the process messages though, and it actually works in that it correctly applies the image, but it stops updating my form until it exits the WIMApplyImage function. Anyone have any ideas I've tried registering the callback both immediately before the WimApplyIma ...Show All

  Hello, I don’t know if this should be like this, but if so it is bringing some problems that I think could be common for everyone which works with remote database servers. I have a regular client – server system which has several windows applications on desktops communicating with a data server which supports my shared storage and database.

The problem is that after make the first connection this one stays pooled and later when I try to open it, everything appears to be fine, I check connection state and the result is open, ...Show All
