• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) 3D Scatter Graph in WPF - Ideas?

  Hey folks, We're building a 3D scatter graph control and are having performance issues when adding lots of points (3000+). I don't suspect it is a WPF problem per say but rather, we are not very efficient in the manner which we are doing the graph. In short, our app adds 3D cubes into the viewport at specific coordinates. // 1. Make the 3D object (mesh and material) GeometryModel3D cube = new GeometryModel3D (( MeshGeometry3D )Resources[ "ZPlane" ], ( Material )Resources[ "SteelBlue" ]); // 2. Define how the 3D object will be positioned in space ModelVisual3D model = new ModelVisual3D (); model.Content = cube; Transform3DGroup myTg = new Transform3DGroup (); myTg.Children.Add(( Tran ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Animation Component Released

  I've released the alpha version of my animation component.  It should work on both unskinned and skinned meshes, but currently requires shader 2.0 because of the skinning support (this will be changed in the future). Here is the link: http://www.codeplex.com/animationcomponents If you download it and try it on a model and it doesn't work (for now, I'm only referring to matrix key animations), please post on the website forums!!  I'll help you get it to work, and if it's a bug, I'll fix it :) I've included a sample of how to use it to play a skinned animation in the User Forum. Non matrix keys will be implemented in the short future... And if you downloaded the DLL shortly after it was put up, I uploaded the wrong DLL so non skin ...Show All

• Visual Basic Rounding up to the next 100.

  Ok I'm new at this so hope I have the right forum to be asking this question I am writing an application that works out the square area of an item, but the result has to be to the next 100. So for example sake if it is 720 it needs to go to 800 to work out the area, or if it is say 970 it will need to go to 1000. The program is for costing of sheets if your intrested and we cost by per 100mm. Any ideas or samples of code would be greatfully apreciated. Bear in mind that the imput will be different each time. Example of imput: Hight = 900 width = 520 depth = 565 toe kick = 140 (this would meen the hight would be 760 when this is taken off) ...Show All

• Visual C# convert punctuation to string

  hi , i can check if a word has punctuations in it by using ( !char.IsLetter( theInput[ i ] ) ). here the " theInput " is a string. I want to remove these punctuations, but no idea how to do it, please help this definitely solve the problem. I also figured out a similar way of doing this, which is to declare an array which holds all the letters of "theInput", replace it with a space if any of the elements is a punctuation. then get rid of alll spaces after the loop by using "replace()", then convert the array back into "theInput" string after the loop. Anyway, your suggestion is more efficient than mineAny advanced suggestions are still welcome :) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help reading values

  Hello, I have modbus source code and I'm trying understand how it works. When I try to read message using Text1.text = message all I get is 3 squares. The squares seem to originate from value(), can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for the help. P.S. my skill level = beginner Regards, Ken Function build_modbus_message( ByRef command_type As Short , ByRef addres As Short , ByRef registerr As Single , ByRef value() As Single ) As String Dim message As String message = build_modbus_message(command_type, addres, registerr, data_value) Ken, There is probably no doubt that the squares are characters outside the normal printable range.

• SQL Server XML Source into Recordset ( ADO Enumerator )

  In "Data Flow", I am attempting to use "XML Source" to read a XML document into a recordset and in "Control Flow", into a Foreach Loop Container ( foreach ADO enumerator ), where I map the attributes to DTS variables. SSIS allows you to specify the input columns by means of an index number. The problem is you don't know what index value to use for a particular input attribute. It does not seem to be in the same order as the what the XML input is. This is very troublesome. Ideally, you should be allowed to select the value based on attribute name. Has anyone seen this problem Any ideas Is there anyway in XSD to force the parser to return attributes in a specific order Thx. ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX - Case ?

  Hi, Im using AS 2005 and I want to display a measure depending on the level of the hierarchy My hierarchy is as following : Level A Level B Level C Level D if the user selects Level A, I display the measure Sum_LevelA if the user selects Level B, I display the measure Sum_LevelB I suppose I should use MDX to do this (kind of CASE ) but im a newbie at MDX. Thanks in advance for your help. JL SCOPE is not CASE - there are no default cases. Here is how you can do it: CREATE MySum = SUM_BY_DEFAULT; SCOPE (MySum); Dim.LevelA.LevelA.MEMBERS = Sum_LevelA; Dim.LevelB.LevelB.MEMBERS = Sum_LevelB; ... END SCOPE; ...Show All

• Visual C# Mobile control in System.Web.UI.Page

  Hi I'm not sure it's possible, but it would be great if there is some way to load a mobile control on a regular ASP.NET web page. I have controls inheriting from SystemMobileControl. If the control only contains regular tags like a <br/> tag, it's possible to load it into a table cell. However, if the control contains a mobile tag such as <mobile:image> I get the error that such a control or tag can only be loaded into a MobilePage. So is there any good ways to force the control to load into a System.Web.UI.Page I'm loading it into a cell in a custom gridview... Error message is: "MobileControl must be contained within a MobilePage: ASP.default_aspx" when trying to run following line: e.Row.Cells[ ...Show All

• SQL Server After upgrade to SQL 2005 getting CONVERT error.

  I have a query that was working prior to an upgrade to SQL 2005 from SQL 2000. Now, I am getting an "Error converting data type varchar to numeric." error message. It appears to be related to the order of operations of the "WHERE" clause. Here is the partial WHERE clause: AND ISNUMERIC(value) = 1 AND CONVERT(numeric(20,2), value) < 0 AND type IN (... The value field in the database table is defined as a varchar and will contain mixed datatypes. That is why the "ISNUMERIC" line is in the where clause. Interestingly, if I change the qualified values in the "IN" line to a single value, it works fine. As soon as I introduce a second value within the "IN" line, I get the error mes ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamic transformation to upload flat files into database

  Hi, My scenario: I have 4 different flat files types each having different no. of column, order of columns etc. I want to upload all the 4 types into the same destination table in the SQL database. Before uploading I need to apply transformation to each column in the flat files. The transformations could be like 1) Multipying the source column by 100 2) Put an if condition for 2 source columns and then select one column to be copied into the destination. I have the flat files schema with me and also all the transformations that are required. Question: Can SSIS provide me with a component that can read the flat file schema and the transformations from the database and apply them to the source data and then upload it to ...Show All

• Visual Studio SubReport DataSource Works in Test and Development, but not in Production

  I have a report that works in two environments but not in production. The labels are there but not the data fields. I dynamically print the report. This is running in a Web environment. It must be a configuration item. When I look at the crystaldecisions.crystalreports.engine, all projects reference a similar version 10 dll. I know the report is good, because I change the print to execute the subreport and it prints like I would expect it to if it were the subreport. I thought maybe it would be security on the dll. I checked the event viewer and there was nothing. I know the syntax is correct and that the program is both seeing the dataset correctly and I have set breaks to know that it finds the subreport. Any ideas on how the configurati ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deep history - anyway to get it all?

  Suppose I have a file $/a/b/c/file.cs. I create and check in several revisions of that file and then branch it to $/d/e/f/file.cs and check in several more revisions. When I look at the history for $/d/e/f/file.cs, I see all of the changes I made to that branch, with the last history item being the branch operation itself. What I'd like to see is the complete history of the file, working back through all base branches to where the file was created - including renames, deletes and undeletes. Is there anyway to see that "deep" history with TFS I'm assuming that the information needed to construct it does exist in the database, since each branch knows where it was branched from. It won't be part of SP1 (at least ...Show All
