• Windows Live Developer Forums Where is Firefox support?

  Does anybody have any ideas why my site loads in IE7 but not firefox 2.0.0.1 I have tried the work around from Marc Sutton (Codev Ltd) but it doesn't seem to have resolved anything.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Question about FileRender

  Hi, 1. How can I play a YUV file with format YUV 4:2:0 2. Can I render from file that I am writing to at the same time (with delay of-course) Thanks, Yaniv Using graphedit can help determine if the problem is your code or something directshow related. There is an article here ( http://www.gdcl.co.uk/articles/ ) which describes in detail how DS determines which filters (if any) can be used to play a specific file (the Introduction to parsers article at the bottom).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Stuttering in D3D application

  Hello, we're experiencing stuttering in our D3D game. With stuttering, I mean that the game loop will generally take 20-30 milliseconds to complete, running smoothly at ~30 fps. But then, like once per second or so, the game loop will take like 150 milliseonds or more to complete. The stuttering happens on many different computers so I don't think it's a driver/hardware/setup problem, but rather something that we're doing in our rendering that's causing the stuttering. Many other games run fine on these computers. I've profiled parts of the code.. and usually the huge delays come from D3D Present() method or the actual rendering. Does this indicate that there's a problem with the rendering command queue being filled up and stalled or somet ...Show All

• .NET Development "Cannot connet to remote server"

  Hello, I am facing a bizarre problem when connection a client application to a server. I am developing a client application which connects to a server, instantiates a remote object (singleton) and makes queries to the server via the remote object. The remote object has a method which instantitates another remote object on the server side (factory remote object using interfaces). The client can successfully instantiate the remote object (using interface), because it can call a method of remote object to instantiate another remote object on the server side. However, as soon as the client uses the second instantiatied remote object (to call its methods), then an exception gets thrown stating that client cannot connect to the remote server.

• SQL Server Looking for ADO.NET using SQLNCLI code snippet -- Please help

  I'm looking for some code snippet that will allow me to use ADO.NET and the SQL Native client for database failover scenarios. Currently what I have does not work and am running out of options. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks, Luis B Hi Luis, Just to clarify, do you mean a way in which, during a data operation, your .net client can automatically recover from a failover event, or did you want to control/initiate a failover from .net And do you mean mirroring or clustering Thanks, Rob ...Show All

• SQL Server Need Answer PLS - excel export file size changed on re-save

  I have a report that ran and returns a large amount a data. When I export the report to excel it takes 3 minutes to export. The file size when I open the xls file is 24.1MB. I choose save as and give it another name ... then open the xls I just saved and the size is 9.79MB. Why is the file size different on the re-saved file than the originally exported file This was reported by a user and I didnt believe the file size would change until I tried it myself ... If you have a lot of string values in the report that can be represented as single byte strings, that’s probably where Excel is making a difference. In Reporting Services we always write strings as 2-byte Unicode, but Excel will always try to c ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflows dont travel with site templates

  After I customize a site with a workflow with SharePoint Designer, save it as a template, and then create a site with it, the workflow is no longer there. Can anyone help with this Couldn't find a Publish Workflow. What I am doing is creating a list template with no workflows. Creating a new list with the template. Creating a blank workflow with the same name as the existing flow in the other site.

• SQL Server stored procedure runs in 2000, hangs in 2005

  I have a rather complex sp that runs for 4 minutes in SQL2000. It computes some messy oil and gas revenue/cost transactions. It involves lots of calls to functions that return single values of all types and also returns recordsets. There are all kinds of joins with temp and memory tables, etc. Just a mess, but it works. However, in SQL2005, it runs and apparently hangs, as it never ends. I have run the Upgrade Advisor and otherwise, have not found any information that tells me that there are issues with functions or SQL-specific functions, tables, etc. that might cause this. Does anyone on this forum have some pointers on where I might look for assistance on this matter Surely someone knows something about things working differently i ...Show All

• Visual C# inner classes

  Hello, for many years of java I haven't appreciated the inner classes feature, and took it for granted. Now when I'm using c# I know how imporatnt it is. So I tought to ask what others are doing without it. In Java I had something like this: class A { protected String myString = "A"; class B { void myMethod() { myString = "B"; } } } this means that the inner class can access any method or data member (static and non static) of the outer class, and the pointer to the outer class is created without additions to the code. I want it in c#. Is there a way to do it Thanks Well, first of all, if you declare myString as static then that code would work in C#, so we'll move on to the case of myStri ...Show All
