• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Programming Exercises

  Anyone care to share a list of some games a beginner might use to progressively up their skills And I already expect to see 300 responses with pong, tetris and breakout so dont even bother with those titles. I'd go with what you like really, think on some of your favourite shows (or even childhood shows, something on good old thundercats would be nice) If you past the beginner phase by now and starting to branch out, scrabble down your thoughts and then work up the one's you feel are best, there are no wrong answers in this game (well so long as you don't count diakatana!) I've seen lots of very different ideas for games so far from CaitlinZimas Butterfly game to a little boat racing game called Fi ...Show All

• Visual C++ Specify a DefaultValueAttribute for an enumerated type property

  How does one specify a DefaultValueAttribute for a property of an enumerated type None of the constructor for DefaultValueAttribute take a System::Enum as the type of its parameter. The compiler does let me specify an enumerated value for the enumerated type but it must treat this as a System::Object instead. Not sure what the problem is. This compiles successfully enum Types {Type1, Type2}; public ref class Test { Types t; public: [System::ComponentModel::DefaultValue(Type1)] property Types T { Types get() {return t;} void set (Types t_) {t = t_;} } }; ...Show All

• .NET Development IAsyncResult.IsCompleted returns wrong answer ((

  Hello.. sorry for english I do like this: ------------ ...

• Windows Forms "datagridviewcomboxcell value is not valid" when i want to bind object to datagridviewcell

• Software Development for Windows Vista Canceling a burn

  I can't find the documentation on canceling using IMAPIv2. Is it the same as in IMAPIv1 I'm not really using IDiscMasterProgressEvents, so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to implement a QueryCancel() Also, I've seen claims that the cancel is broken on xp sp1/sp2, is it for sure working on Vista Hello foobarX! I can't answer for IMAPIv1 on XP off the top of my head, so if you really need to know, let me know and I'll find the answer for you. However, as for cancelling burns on IMAPIv2, the 'proper' way to do it is to call IDiscFormat2Data::CancelWrite() when you have received an update event from the object. There should not be any problem calling this from another thread a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can we deploy Segoe font with our WPF apps

  So the WPF app I'm working on right now uses Segoe in Vista and looks great. In XP, it uses something else, not sure what to be honest, but it doesn't look nearly as nice. Can we ship the Segoe font with our app so that non-Vista users see the same font we do That is some good information, thanks.  But it still doesn't answer my main question.  Are we allowed to redistribute the Segoe font that comes with Vista as part of our app for people not on Vista   Or does Microsoft plan on making the font available to non-Vista users somehow ...Show All

• SQL Server Writing huge files from CLR

  Hi Coming straight to the problem - I need to write text files of the size more than 1GB! First thought of doing this with BCP but then fetching data from stored proc was taking too long (more than one hour) and so BCP did not seem to be the right option as we have less flexiblity in terms - handling errors, knowing the status as to what point the writing has been complete etc. Most importantly getting such a huge amount of data did not seem to be a one time job! So I am now thinking about writing a CLR procedure which fetches smaller amount of data at a time and writing to file. Something like - open connection, get data, close connection, write to file and continue in cycles of this till whole file is written. Does this makes sense ...Show All

• Visual C# Build up a variable name with a string

  Hi, I wonder if there's a way (in c#) to build up a variable name by the concatenation of two strings...For example int intTest = 1; string strTest = "strTest"; string strTest+intTest.toString() = "this is my new var"; Thanks in advance If you're doing the same thing to 16 columns, you just create a function which does it and call it sixteen times. If your grid exposes a collection of columns, you foreach through it calling the function. Yes, there are occasions where macros might enable a shortcut or two, but not enough (IMO) to outweigh the negative aspects like confuddled compiler messages and nightmarish debugging issues. After all, we apparently spend more time debugging than coding... ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 SP2 install failed now unable to start

  Ran the SP2 locally on a Windows Server 2003 SP1 box that had SQL Server 2005 SP1 install on it. Problem was I ran out of C: drive and it failed in the middle of upgrading the server. I'm unable to start the SQL Server at all now. Is there any way to back this out Don't think I can reapply any patches since the service is dead. Eventlog now shows: One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from a backup.

• Visual Studio Team System SQL Server Version(s) Support

  It appears that for CTP6 only the Enterprise and Developer editions of SQL Server 2005 are supported. The Standard edition is not supported. When DB Pro is released, will it support the Standard Edition as well Thanks - Amos. What is so special about the Developer edition that prevents the Express edition from working I also find it strange that the product requires SQL 2005 editions to be installed but deploying to SQL 2005 as a target database is not supported. ...Show All
