• Software Development for Windows Vista TEST CASE 30: Problems with verification on Russian Windows Vista

  Our product has Russian language only, and we test it on Russian localized version of Windows Vista. The behavior during TEST CASE 30. Verify the application is Restart Manager Aware (Req:3.1) is not correct. Let me explain. Our product is not a service and is not designed to restart after shutdown, so to test I used the command: rmtool.exe –p dwPID –S The product does close. When I tested on English Windows Vista, I did get only the Information message (in fact there were three Information messages: Starting session, Shutting down the application, Ending session). But when I tested the behavior on Russian Windows Vista (both 32- and 64-bit versions) I did get the additional 4th message of Warning type, saying that ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Closed versus Resolved

  I'm sure that this has been talked about before, or perhaps its just a very stupid question, but i can't find any information on this. What is the difference between a work item being "Closed" and a work item being "Resolved " I know that when checking in changesets, you can only set them to resolved, not closed. But working directly with the item, you can set them to either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Thanks to both of you for your responses. It makes a whole lot of sense. I was thinking something along those lines anyway, but i wasn't sure and some of the user interface confused me a bit on that. Thanks again! ...Show All

• Visual J# using J# dll with ASP

  Hi, I've been developing a product search that does queries and rankings with the database on the site.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Picking Problem

  I am currently working on a game that uses a board similar to a checkerboard. So many squares across and so many down, except instead of 2D squares, I am using 3D cubes. This allows the map to be rotated and turned in 3d space. Later I plan on stacking the cubes and using them to create 3D maps. I have managed to produce a map generator and over all have done most of what is needed, except for picking. I need a method to determine what cube the user clicked. I had thought about using createcube, and from there using rays, but I am unsure how to do this, and how to move the cubes once they are created. I need to find a way where the user can click and it will out put what cube it is, regardless of where the camera is pointing. I would take ...Show All
