• SQL Server Accesing package Variable in Conditional Component

  Hello Experts, I am trying to load data to a sql table from flat file..I have a script component which will validate the data. I am also firing the errros when data validation fails. Once I encounter an error I want the whole package to be aborted. What I have done is declared a variable called errorcount (Scope :Package) and I am incrmenting this variable everytime an error is raised and next I have a Conditional Split which will check if this variable count is greater than 0 if yes I will not update the table.This is the only way I think this will work. error I am getting is :The collection of variables locked for read and write access is not available outside of PostExecute. I understand they r in the same data flow thats the r ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) sending 30 MB from a WCF server to many clients

  I need to create a solution for this scenario: A lot of clients all over the world (winforms) should play media files that a server sends them. The server has a playlist of media files for each of those client. Whenever a playlist is changed on the server the client should 'know' about it and download the media files. the size of the files could be around 30 MB. Should I use WCF to send the files to the client or should I use FTP instead What is the diference between WCF and FTP in terms of speed , security and scalability i am not FTP expert,i am thinking mixing WCF and FTP may be better choice for perf reasons you can use WCF to send alerts messages from service ->client once client knows abou ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Adding Columns to a ListView

  Hi everyone, I'm trying to populate a ListView control using code in C#. While I am able to display one column of information, how can I add an extra column For example, this is the code I have so far for just displaying the first name. for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { ListViewItem foo = new ListViewItem(); foo.Content = "First Name: " + i; // ucMain = ListView created in EID (Sparkle) ucMain.Items.Add(foo); } In several of the online examples, especially those created in VB, the listviewitem seems to have a subitem method, but I can't find the WPF equivalent to use in C#. Thanks, Kirupa Thanks for the response Lee. That seems like a pretty roundabout way of adding data to a L ...Show All

• Smart Device Development CABWIZ/Makecab problems

  Hi all, I'm having trouble building a CAB file for a CF 2 project. Done the usual steps,  Added a Smart Device Deployment project to my solution, set its propertys, go to build and Always get back a message saying ; Error: CAB file "C:\Documents and Settings\DAVE\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005 \Projects\Project1\DeploymentCAB\Release\Project1. CAB " could not be created It's really annoying, I dont want to have to go back to using 2003 to build projects as I really like the new features in CF 2, but if I cant deploy them correctly, then theres no point. Any thoughts/comments appreciated. Dave You are not alone, I have virtually the same problem. The only difference is that I wasn't ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Networking in XNA using System.Net (Sockets)

  I have been working hard this past week on a couple of classes (two components) for my XNA engine, Xna5D. These two components have been an Asynchronus TCP Server and Client for networking purposes. I have finally got the code to be working stable enough to show it off a bit. I have wrapped the basic Socket classes and exposed callbacks via Delegates/Events. The XNA Game Component portion can be easily stripped off (I only use it for getting a reference to an XmlLogger component). Speaking of which, if you do try to use these you will need to strip that out (Referencing XmlLogger) unless you have the full Xna5D source. It is pretty easy to do though. A link to the source code (zip)... http://downloads.jsedlak.org/Xna5D_ClientSe ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is it realistic to create one's own engine?

  I'm not new to programming, but I'm new to game programming and C#. I'm wondering to what extent it's realistic for someone to make their own 3D (or for that matter 2D) game engine. The two projects I have in mind for myself are a turn-based 2D war/strategy game, and a 3D adventure game in the manner of "Dreamfall". On the 2D side, I feel confident I could come up with a 2D interface on my own. I haven't done a lot here yet, but I did manage to whip up a little 2D hockey game without peeking at Bill Reiss's excellent 3D airhockey tutorial at http://xna101.spaces.live.com/ . I've even given my computer hockey opponent a very primitive AI. OK, my collision detection and physics aren't great, but I'm not sure how much I'll need either of ...Show All
