• SQL Server How to determine whether a package is in design mode or run mode programatically

  Hi, How to programatically get information from within a custom component, whether the package <that contains the component> is in design mode or in run mode [execution]. Looking through a list of system variables[ http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms141788.aspx ], it was difficult to identify. Creating a user variable and setting the value in PreExecute() and resetting in CleanUp() did not work as the package is still executing, till the user clicks the stop in BID studio.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Skin weight Transforms and Model Importer

  Hey, where do you guys store the transform matrices for skin weights in the content pipeline It seems that they are merged with the bone matrices before they are passed to the processor. Also, is there any way to extend the .X file importer class There are a lot of situations in which this can be useful. If what you say is true, and we can not get the skin weight transforms from the SkinWeights { [...] } Nodes, then skinned animation is impossible without making a custom importer. I have conclusive evidence that shows that these transforms are not included in the animation data or the default bones. Please address this issue! ...Show All

• SQL Server Attribute Hierachies

  Hi there. I have a problem that I have been struggling to understand. Here is the situation. I will use a time dimension just as an example. If I build a time dimension containing 2 Years of dates from 2005 to 2006 with 3 attributes: Year, Month, Date and set my attribute relationships as Date ->Month and Month -> Year. In management studio I can drag over Month and then Year (in that particular order ) and it will give me the correct results. For example if I expand the Month of January 2006 the year column will show 2006. Now If I filter the year column for the year of 2006, you would expect that the month column would only contain the months of 2006, but it doesn't. It still has months for 2005. Now if I rebuild that dimensi ...Show All

  I've written an app that is retrieving an integer value every second and writing it to an ASCII text file. I'd like my gadget to retrieve this value on a 10-second interval and write it to the gadget window.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XLinq

  Has anyone done much with XLinq [btw - in writing this i discoved a 36 page doc on XLinq which i'll read tomorrow] I have now listened to Anders Hejlsberg, the C# 3.0 videos and read some on this. Now, LINQ is an excellent technology, but i hear two things from XLinq. 1. It improves XPath queries. In numerous projects people have ran into issues with this, but moreso when namespaces are involved, or when you start doing some advanced XPath queries that work on descedents/ancestors. I'd like to know how easy people are finding doing this kind of advanced thing in XLinq. 2. Initializing the document. Now, i have read this for only a couple of days now, but although i can see the value in selecting via LINQ to create a new Xml ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to get InnerException information in MFC/C++ Application

  I wrote a test program that I am able to use the ConsolWrite to diplay the InnerException information. I need to be able to write out the same information to the EventLog in a NT Service. I have tried many different things trying to get the information but have been unsuccessful. I look into the class in debug but I cannot even find the string that diplays in the ConsoleWrite. Here is a code snippet from the test program and it's output. Console::WriteLine (S "In Main catch block. Caught: {0}" , e->Message); Console::WriteLine (S "Inner Exception is {0}" , e->InnerException); In Main catch block.
