• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Dream Build Play - partner in crime

  I'm still hard at work on a new game I'm working on, but it's more for fun than anything I would submit for a contest.  But I really want to enter the dream, build, play contest too, I just don't think I'll have the time to do it all on my own.

• Visual Studio change field at runtime

  Hi, I need 2 reports. But the only difference is that one column is another fieldname. Is it possible to change field at runtime It seems that all these properties to get at a given FieldObject are read only Hi, As a (temporary ) workaround I use both fields in report designer, and Hide one of the fields when needed by setting the Width to Null and make it visible by setting the width again.

We are prepared to pay some money if we need to but want to know what it would take to get it going. I was asked to look into it. :) We currently have MSDN subscribtion (not sure which level yet). We also have Visual Studio 2005 Team Test Edition installed and running. From looking at different information I understand that we would need to install Team Foundation Server to have work item tracking functionality. And here's where I get confused. Would we then hook up our existing Visual Studio 2005 installations to it I assume that we would have to install Team Foundation Serv ...Show All

• SQL Server SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM.

  Hi, Is there a way to catch the exeption ( SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM)  with in SQL Server, so it does not need to be caught in the code calling the procedure. E.g. I do not want to send null to the stored procedure.   e.g. The stored procedure should be able to catch dates that are outside the range 1/1/1975 and 12/31/9999 and change them to the limits. E.g. IF @StartDate < CONVERT ( DateTime , '01/01/1753 12:00:00' ) BEGIN     SET @StartDate = CONVERT ( DateTime , '01/01/1753 12:00:00' ) END IF @EndDate > CONVERT ( DateTime , '01/01/1753 11:59:59' ) BEGIN     SET @EndDate = CON ...Show All
