• Visual Basic Long Numbers

  Hi, I would like to write applications, such as calculating pi, generating Mandelbrot Sets, factoring large numbers or prime hunts, which use extremely long numbers. I'm not talking about the measly 32 decimal places of the Decimal variable. I'm talking about two or three thousand decimal places. I've written a couple long number calculators which are, quite frankly, crude, cumbersome and slow. My approach has been to create arrays of byte characters, assign one digit to each byte, and then try to program the whole thing to handle addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; all the while trying to keep track of decimal places and polarities. It seems to me that there has to be a better way. Anyone know if it is possible to ...Show All

• SQL Server AcquireConnection method call fails when scheduling a job with Excel Connection Manager?

  I have a SSIS package that reads the data from an Excel file using an Excel Connection Manager and imports the data to a table on a SQL Server 2005 DB instance.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. BoundingBox.Contains doesn't work after a transform?

  Hi All, I have some test code that uses BoundingBox.Contains to see if a vector lies inside the bounding box. It works fine until I transform the point vector and bounding box min/max vectors by a matrix. The coordinates look right, but the function retuns disjoint. I know I must be missing something here, but I can't figure it out. The values after translation are: BoundingBox.Min: 0, 0, 0 BoundingBox.Max: 1, 0.99999999, -1 Point: 0.5, 0.5, -0.5 My test code just replaces the standard game Update() method. You also need to set the game Draw() methods graphics device clear call to graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear(color); Here's the Update method and color declaration: Color color = new Color ( Color .Yellow.To ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development asp.net 2.0 application with Master Page does not display properly under ie7

  I have an asp.net 2.0 application which when viewed on internet explorer 7 does not display properly. There is a footer that tends to appear in the middle of the screen, which was previously at the bottom, and also when grids appear and have enough data to scroll down the screen, the footer and the outline of the content page do not move down to accomodate this.

Also this is specific to one website, others using a similiar setup work fine Any thoughts on where I should look next regarding this I can understand how that would help in regards to the first web page that uses a style sheet, but what about the secodn one that does not ...Show All

• SQL Server auto resizing column

  hi all i am working on sql reorting 2005 how can i set the column width to autoresize depending on the maximum length of data for that column plz help me. As far as I know, there is no way to autoresize column width. The only property to account for adjusting a cell's dimensions is "CanGrow." If this is set to True, the cell will increase vertically to fit all the data. However, this only adjusts the height and not the width. ...Show All

  Hi, Is there any way in GSE/XNA to constrain mouse movement to within the Game window Like they all said, avoid doing this at all costs because you'll just piss off your user. But if you really have to have it for whatever reason (or can use the code to learn from), here it is #region Constrain mouse to window if ( Mouse .GetState().X < 0) Mouse .SetPosition(0, Mouse .GetState().Y); if ( Mouse .GetState().X > iSCREENWIDTH) Mouse .SetPosition(iSCREENWIDTH, Mouse .GetState().Y); if ( Mouse .GetState().Y < 0) Mouse .SetPosition( Mouse .GetState().X, 0); if ( Mouse .GetState().Y > iSCREENHEIGHT) Mouse .SetPosition( Mouse .GetState().X, iSCREENHEIGHT); ...Show All
