• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition

  I have been programming with VC 6.0 for some time now, and it has worked great. However, all I hear is that VC 6.0 is a nono now, and I should bump up even to the EE of VC 2005, and well I did. Now, getting started is horrible, and I hope you guys can help me get it going nicely. For instance, how do I add libraries to a project Is the only way through the VCProjectDefaults folder Also, I am learning DirectX better, and I tried transferring code that compiles in VC++ 6.0 (simple code, in fact, the code from the SDK sample for Microsoft) to the new IDE, and it gave me 16 linking errors, so I spent about an hour trying to find out how to do this, and the only way I saw was from the same method to allow the creation of Windows forms, and co ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX Calculations Script updates

  I have mdx calculated members defined in my cube calculation script. Is there any tool (other than BI Studio) that would allow a power user (typically a financial controller) to modify formulas for selected calculated members Another option could be to use custom rollup formulas stored in the relational data source and offer a nice front-end for modifying those formulas, but this would require a full process of the cube, where as modifying the calculation script would only require a default process. Any other idea Thanks! I am not aware of anything like this that is available and there are a couple of barriers to actually building something like it. at present you would need to have admin rights t ...Show All

• SQL Server How to access data in a SQL Command in the OLE DB Destination editor

  Instead of blindly inserting all my data from a previous task into a table using "Table" as the Data Access Mode in the OLEDB Destination editor. I would like to join this output with a reference table and insert only qualifying rows. Question is "how do I access the data from previous task so that I can do a meaningful equijoin" I know I have to use the "SQL Command" data access mode, but what next Thanks. chiraj well, I don't see that property. What I did was I dragged the "Sort" transformation and put it between the lookup & mergeJoin and another between the OLEDB Source & MergeJoin. That did the trick. I still have to see the results. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP7 COM+ error while calling from ASP.Net 2.0 on IIS6

  Hi, I have an ASP.Net 2.0 application which interop with VFP7 COM+ (using DCOM). It was running fine on IIS5, WIndows 2000.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Official List of Features and Limitations of the various Pixel Shader versions?

  Does anyone know of an official list of features and limitations for the different Vertex Shader and Pixel Shader versions (1.1, 2.0, 3.0, etc) I couldn't find anything on the Microsoft or nVidia web sites or on the web. I don't even know for sure who governs these standards. Wikipedia has a pretty good article on HLSL that should help. Basically, you get more registers/instruction slots with greater versions, allowing you to do more. So some things like tex#dlod aren't available on earlier shader models. MSDN used to have a pretty good HLSL Shader Reference , but I think it's either been taken down or moved, and I can't find it if it's been moved. Edit: I found this in MSDN2.  Not exactly wh ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF "Bugs" or "Features"? + DirectX Interop Thoughts

  Hi all, I'm hoping for a little advice from someone more knowledgeble than myself... I've bolded important bits for lazy readers, I'm not trying to be rude :) Basically, I'm building a logic simulator . I want it to feel modern, with a nice looking UI, but most importantly to provide a fun and intuitive editing experience through the main editing panel. I've been prototyping with WPF for obvious reasons. To help demonstrate, I decided to attach the current (very basic) prototype for anyone who wants to try it out. I'll also link to some screenshots I took which demonstrate the problems I'm having (for those busier readers!) The  prototype currently only connects lines tog ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions accessing UI from secondary threads

  Hello, I am trying to display images but i need to save data relating to each image and want to be able to show images while the data is saving. trying to do this asynchronously I have employed a stack of threads (or have tried to). I realize that only the primary thread can access the UI and I don't know how to allow each thread to access the UI. I need to pass an image location of the image to be displayed, other than that, the function can be standalone. Ideas Thanks, Cameron Take a look at the Invoke method and the InvokeRequired properties. With them you can determine if you can call methods on an object from the present thread as well as request that the owning thread call a met ...Show All
