  I took the example of drawing a 3D model(tutorial 1 and 2(spaceship)) and then pasted the code from the tutorial of the "Drawing a Sprite" When It renders the ship doesn't have volume. In that I can see right through it. Does anyone know what is wrong.

• Visual C++ Adding a window within a window.

  Hi all, I have created a window(without title bar) class with image manipulating functionalities.

• Visual Basic FileUpload - How do I trap maxfilesize problems

  The fileupload control works well for files < 4MB (maxrequestlength), but if the file is larger than this the program fails with: - the page cannot be displayed, or Server error in '/xxxxx' application Maximum request length exceeded How do I trap this so that I can return a better error message The failure occurs before the Page Load from any callback, so I can't see any way of trapping the error, and I haven't seen any event or property of the Fileupload control that I can set to say "Do this when Max Request Length is exceeded" I don't want to accept larger files, I'm happy to live with the limit. Regards, Robert Barnes why donot you increase the maxRequest ...Show All

• SQL Server Quorum & MSDTC Cluster Questions

  We are trying to setup a Windows Server 2003 Cluster with 2 systems and a DAV. We intend to install SQL 2005 on this Cluster. We purchased a DAV with 3 physical disk arrays as follows. 73GB RAID 1 (our plan is to use this to store sql transaction logs) 146GB RAID 1 (sql backups, temp database & other temp files) 420GB RAID 10 (sql databases) Now as we are setting all this up we find out we need a shared physical drive on the DAV to store the Quorom. It is my understanding we cannot partition the physical drives and use one of the partitions to store the Quorum because when you create the resource for the Quorum the resource is the phsyical disk not the partition. So my question is, is it in our best interest to buy a seperate ...Show All

• Visual Basic Web Browser project

  I am working on a very simple browser, mainly for quick web surfing without the need of menus, favorites, and other fancy features seen in other browsers. The problem is, im quite new to this programming language, and i barely got anything out of what little time i had in Introduction to Computer Programming (using Visual Basic 6.0) before being pulled out of that class to make up a required credit. Im clueless as to how to get the WebBrowser object to respond to the input in the AddressBar, and display the site the user types. Any help on this would be really greatful. Thanks Sorry, I forgot to ask, which version of visual basic are you using If you are using VB 2005 then it will be in: Project > (Project Name) Properties & ...Show All

• SQL Server real time progress bar

  The ETL processing for my project will be deployed as part of a larger application which is operated by non-technical users. Therefore I want to provide real-time feedback to the user on progress, errors, etc., using windows standard GUI interface objects and style- for example a progress bar. The "designer" of course does some of this but there won't be any designer in our deployed application (and SSIS designer is neither intended to be used by, nor appropriate for, non-technical users anyway). Now that I have the ETL logic working, it's time to tackle this UI requirement. I am thinking one way to do this is to start a script task to run in parallel with the main ETL processing, open a winform in that task that has various ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Event procedure changes name when I cut and paste control to different area

  If I cut and paste the control I get a number added to the event procedure: First it was: Private Sub btnGetList_Click( ByVal sender.. If I cut and paste once, it is: Private Sub btnGetList_Click_1( ByVal sender... And again: Private Sub btnGetList_Click_2( ByVal sender... But all my code remains in the first instance of the procedure. Is this normal It sure seems annoying. Actually it's a good thing. The control you paste is a new control.
