• Gadgets created gadget. not in list.

  I built a BASIC gadget from the step by step process on the MS site...it is in the directory and all files are in place, however, it is not on the gadget list when I go to add gadget... Do I have to go through an install process for the gadget and if so how would I do that Not sure what I missed. Thanks, Chris I spent an hour trying to make that example gadget.xml work from the technet site and it was fruitless. Modifying one in the C:\Program Files\windows sidebar\Gadgets\ folder worked like a charm. Thanks for the fix! ...Show All

• Visual Basic IDE adds decimals

  Hi! This odd behavior started the other day and I can't seem to find why this is happening. Let's say I have a "dim myVar as single" When I type : myVar = 0.8F The IDE changes it to : myVar = 0.800000012F Any idea why this happens Thx! Ha ! I just went through the Add-In manager and found out that there was an entry for Rational Rose. I unchecked it, restarted the IDE and there you go ! 0.01 stays 0.01 ! Strange stuff ! Thank you so much for the tip ! ...Show All

• SQL Server Stored Procedures

  SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO What are these used for Also, the procs I've seen in the past always dropped the procs before creating them. From what I'm reading, it looks like you should use the 'Alter' stmt. instead so you don't have to re-do permissions. Is this correct Unlike ALTER , DROP/CREATE will clear permissions. You typically use drop/recreate for script robustness i.e. : the script will work regardless of whether or not the objects exist. Conversely, an alter script will fail if the proc does not exist. The 'best' method is a drop/recreate with an explicit permissions grant afterwards, however, if you know all the objects already exist, then an alter script is the easist as you do not need to wor ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Jerky sprite movement, too much keyboard sampling?

  Hi all, A question if i may, i have installed XNA and all the necessary gubbins, and have walked through the tutorial on learnxna.com I am just trying out the basics at the moment and am attempting to get a user controlled sprite move across the bottom of the screen, on the x axis, responding to left and right keys. This works fine. When a space bar press is detected, a projectile object is created, in the same place as the bottom sprite and is added to a class scoped arraylist (for storing projectile objects). In the update method, the array list is looped and any projectiles created have their position updated (so they move up they axis). The array list is looped and draw in the relevant positions in the draw method. This rea ...Show All
