• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. howtorender a model

  I think the tutorials for 3d camera rotation aren't that fair i was doing great until those tutorials. I halted completely cause all those tutorials refer to models and code that were implemented somewhere else, but they don't have referring code or directions for how to replace the models and textures or input. refer to the code needed int he tutorial correctly i have no idea where they got all the extra code from. i know there just loading the content from the pipeline but the guy doesn't tell us where we can get them model and textures from or input from. I found it all later after searching. but still haven't tracked the model or size, just the how to load your own model. ill prolly have to use my own models since they dont supply it ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio IDE Navigator on Vista

  Hi all, According to MS plan, VS will provide a new IDE Navigator with thumbnail feature, which is that we will have a thunmbnail and some custom definitions on the bottom panel when we press Ctrl+TAB to call out IDE navigator. We have our embedded designer, which associates with a certain file type. I have been told that if we responded to WM_PRINT message properly we can get this feature for free. Could anyone please give me more detailed information Thanks. That is correct, if you handle WM_PRINT you will get this for free in an upcomming version however that version is not associated with any Vista release. When it is made available it will also work on WinXP. Most managed controls already ha ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Express needs to work on XP service Pack one

  SQL Express 2005, MUST work on windows XP Service pack 1, it should not need XP SP 2 . Also it should not require windows server 2003 SP1. This is seriously limiting our possibilities as a development company, this is ruining business , ANYONE READING THIS MESSAGE WHO CARES ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THAT INCLUDES ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DISTIBUTE SQL EXPRESS, SHOULD ADD THEIR SUPPORT BELOW, COME ON GUYS, PLEASE LET M.S. KNOW HOW WE FEEL ON THIS ISSUE.... Another alternative to yelling in the forums would be to write a feedback information on http://connect.microsoft.com where people can vote on. That would give Microsoft more information and overview about the situation. HTH, Jens Suessmeyer. --- http://www.sql ...Show All

• Visual C# IndexOf for

  Hi! There's probably a simple answer but I'm afraid I can't see it: I have a table with two columns, the first being indexed. I'm trying to use IndexOf on the table's binding source to get the index number of an entry in the first column but no indexnumber is found... what am I overlooking int indexNo = this .diagnosisListBindingSource.IndexOf( "ARDS " ); ( I know the entry "ARDS " does exist as an entry in the indexed column and the following function gives the correnct number of rows in the table, so I know I'm 'hooked up' correctly....) int count = this .diagnosisListBindingSource.Count; Thank you.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Any way to add or hijack a pane in Outlook 2003?

  It seems that Outlook 2007 adds the ability to use "ActionPanes" to host UI for an add-in, but that Outlook 2003 doesn't support this (Word and Excel do). Nonetheless, Outlook 2003 has a right-column pane for Help, Clipboard & Research Services. Has anyone found a way to use this area, or any other means of bolting a panel to an Explorer or Inspector Thanks, -Allen Thanks Sue, this looks like a great product that will save me some time and trouble..... but it still begs the question "how did THEY do it " Are they using unsupported techniques -Allen ...Show All
