• Visual Basic BeginInvoke Hang...

  I just finished fixing one Threading problem only to smack right into another. Hehehe As usual, worked in VS2003, but in VS2005 I have an issue. I am trying to call a method on a new thread using BeginInvoke, but when the compiler executes the BeginInvoke() method, the system inexplicably hangs...I am totally baffled. Here is the code: I decided to remove all my subroutines that elated to this BeginInvoke and I wrapped them up into a self contained class, and I let the class iteself handle the multi-threading. Everything works now, still not sure what was wrong since the code is relatively the same, but I am not going to complain. ...Show All

• SQL Server Filtering on padded or non-padded varcvhar makes no difference

  You use SQL Server for years then one day something comes along and you wonder if you really know anything at all. I have the following two queries that both return the same row of data: select * from Element where ElementName = '192538' and select * from Element where ElementName = '192538 ' --ElementName is a VARCHAR(50) --Note the spaces on the end of the literal here If I do a LEN ( ElementName ) on this row it returns 6. Can anyone explain this I'm utterly baffled - as are other people on my project. I validated with them that I wasn't missing something really stupid. Thanks in advance. -Jamie SQL Server follows ANSI SQL standards for string comparisons. According t ...Show All

• .NET Development 401: Authorization Required

  Hello Forum, Here is something I have been struggling for very long now. I have got a Windows Application which talks to a HTTPS web service. When I run my Windows application in Debug mode, it gives me an error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Authorization Required." Further details include it being something like a WebException.ProtocolError. But, the code works fine as a compiled EXE. Also, if I create a package for this application and then deploy the machine on a machine other than the development machine, it gives an error saying "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send." ######################################################################## ...Show All

• SQL Server Transactional Replication Problem

  I have set up a Portal database replication (central subscriber topology) In essence, the replication architecture implemented is 4 (Server 1 - 4) servers replicating to one server (Server A). The 4 SQL servers are setup to be Publishers and Distributors and Server A is setup as a Subscriber. The replication type implemented I used is Transactional replication with replication to update the data at Server A as soon as a change in the data has occured on one of the Servers (1 -4). As Publishers, the servers (Servers 1- 4)will organise their data into publications and make the data available for replication to the Server A. They automatically detect which data has changed and maintain information about the changes. As Distributors, the serve ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Input degrees and coordinate problems

  Hi, I'm a newbie with XNA. I'm about to develop a simple game. I have a spaceship model and a sphere model. I tried to detect if the ships reaches the sphere but even when the ship is "inside" the sphere, the coordinates of the models are very different so the collision will never be detected. How can it be that in the Draw method after setting the World matrix, the models get total different coordinates as if they were using different coordinate systems I thought that translating is moving objects away from the origo (0,0,0). These objects are moved to other locations in the world of course but when they are clearly visible in the same place, how can they have different coordiantes The other problem: I control the ship with the keyboard. ...Show All
