• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rotation Matrix on Object Axis?

  Ok, here we have my effect.World stuff... effect.World = Matrix.CreateRotationX(Pitch); effect.World *= Matrix.CreateRotationY(Yaw); effect.World *= Matrix.CreateRotationZ(Roll); effect.World *= Matrix.CreateTranslation(position); This rotates the object, however, it seems that the rotation is always based on the view axis, and not the object axis. How do i rotate the object around it's own axis for yaw pitch and roll, instead of using the view axis Thanks! it looks like you are rotating the object on its own axis. It only gets into view axis when you multiply with the view matrix and projection matrix. Add in a second object with a different pitch, roll yaw, position and you should see the dif ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Multiple .vsmdi files for one build type

  Why does the build type wizard allow you to select multiple solutions for the same build type but only one .vsmdi file for testing Is there any way to get around this Thanks in advance You can edit TfsBuild.proj directly, but there is not currently any way to specify multiple vsmdi files through the wizard.

• Visual C# tab control selected index event

  i have encountered a starnge behavior with the tab control in visual studios 2005 or in code compiled under VS 2003 but run under framework 2.0: if i try to change the control's selected index in " regular" code (for instance, in the constructor) the selected index change event will not be raised and the callback function will not be called. changing the control's selected index through the GUI or even from another callback function, like on_Button_Pressed or on_Timer_Tick will raise the event. does anyone have any idea what is the reason for this strange conduct important to mention that this problem does not reconstruct in other controls under the framework 2.0, and does not apply for framework 1.1 build the following cod ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Which Expression Product to use?

  I'd like to have one of our graphics people help me make a WPF application look better. The XAML won't render in Cider, but I figure I can give it to him in pieces and he can work on it that way. Which Expression product(s) do I need Some of the work is with gradient brushes, other involves creating graphics. Hi Brian, Essentially, from a developer's perspective, I view the Expression suite as follows (I need to investigate this a little more, but I believe it's on the correct path). Expression Blend is for WPF development. You can create vectored graphics here.

• SQL Server Distributed Transaction

  Hi again, I do not know when to use Distributed Transaction. Would you please give an example about its usage or give a tutorials about this Thanks distributed transaction involves more than one server. meaning you can create transaction tokens that are distributed across the enterprise.   A single sql server alone would not be enough to handle data for a very large enterprise. Sql server can be scaled out by adding additional server. Distibuted transaction allows you to perform an ACID operations between servers.   transaction stipulates that all work needs to be done other wise everything rolls back. distributed transaction  allows you to work on differents server( server1 ...Show All

• SQL Server the data is missing when browsing the cube

  Hello, I use visual studio 2005 to build a cube through analysis services project. When I browse the cube, the data is gone. For example, the dimensions are product names and dates, and the measure is the price. When I browse the cube, I can see the column names and row names, which are dates and product names, but I could not see the price. They are all empty. I am kinda of confused, why does the data gone. I check the tables I read data from, the price are there. Somehow, when I read the price data in as measure, it is gone. Before browse the cube, I defined semiadditive behavior to none for all the measures. and then I process the cube successfully. I am stuck here, kinda of confused. Any suggestion Thank you for your help. Aurora ...Show All

• SQL Server Subscriptions invalid after SP applied

  Hello, I finished applying SP 1 to sql2k5. Under the replication monitor all of the subscriptions now look like [].databasename when they were originally [subscriber1].databasename. Under Mgmt Studio I see the subscriptions correctly. When I try and replicate I get the message "The subscription to publication 'pub_databasename has expired or does not exist." I have tried to reinitialize the subscriptions but it doesn't work. Is there a way to solve this without have to drop the subscriptions and add them again as I do not want to lose the changes that were made on the subscriptions. We are using merge replication.

• Visual Studio Team System Does anyone know how to link bugs in VS2005 to MS Projects?

  It seems that "tasks" are linked to MS project but "bugs" are not. What the trick Thanks! Mohammad it is very helpful! I found some links on how to customize the definition and I am going to give it a try. It would be nice if I don't have to do this manual work, though:) We are using Agile template and I guess in Agile by default people don't track the bugs Anyway, thanks! ...Show All

• SQL Server Time Series only predicts one step

  I have a relational table with daily sales for 364 days (52 week span) for 60 stores. I have created a Microsoft Time Series model using store as the case and the historical/actual line charts appear in the Charts viewer for each store. But only one prediction step is shown no matter how many prediction steps I select. I have tried this with an OLAP-based model and also tried a simple DMX query, all with the same result. Thank you in advance for any help with this.

• Visual C# Using a class as a parameter

  Hi there! I have to pass a class (not an instance) as a parameter to a method, and I have no idea if I can do that -- tried various things and it doesn't work. It should behave like this: I have a BaseClass. Another ChildClass inherits it. The ChildClass has a method (or Property), static or not, that returns a class. The BaseClass has quite a few methods where this class is needed (to invoke static methods on it), so the BaseClass invokes the "GetClassINeed", which returns the static class and then uses it. The reason I need it is that I have about 30 of those ChildClasses, and they all need those methods defined in BaseClass. I don't want to add them in all of them if not needed. Also, to create instances of that Cla ...Show All
