• Visual C# this.close() confusion - I may be doing something wrong?

  I've been doing this for awhile now and it has occurred to me that I should not be In my try/catch statements, if the exception is serious, I've been displaying the message to the user then the catch issues "this.close();" to shut the app down.

• Audio and Video Development How clockDivisor works?

  Hi, Can anyone explain how clockDivisor works in HDiSim Frankly speaking I cannot catch the idea :) Simple sample below is to display "OK" on the screen after 1s. timeBase is 60fps, clockDivisor is 120.

• SQL Server dimension design

  In my telco cube, I want to analyze usage. Eg how much sms's a subscriber has sent. The fact table is completely denormalized and has lots of columns with different types of usage. For example, following columns occur: MO_VOI_PEAK MO_VOI_OFFPEAK MO_VOI_WEEK MO_VOI_WEEKEND Now the sum of these fields overlap. Evenings during the week are also offpeak... This is only an example. Different categories occur for different products, like voice, sms, mms and so on. And not all categories apply to all products. Eg, mms does not have the peak and offpeak distinction. Is it possible to put this into one dimension, without aggregating double I have already normalised the fact table, meaning tha ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL server 2005 express and MS Project 2003 server

  Does anyone know how to install MS Project 2003 along with SQL Express 2005. Looking at the Req ( http://www.microsoft.com/office/project/prodinfo/serverreq.mspx ) for project server I do not think that it will work with Express, You will need SQL Server analysis services for some of the functions, and from memory you might also need the full text options. You really need to talk to the Project Server guys about what you are tring to do as it looks like the functions that are in Project Server and SQL Express do not match up. Also on the Min Req SQL Express or for that fact the older MSDE are not listed. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Delete label by Id, TFS API

  Hi there. Is there a way to delete a Label or find a Label by LabelId The ways I found they all require the label Name and Scope --> VersionControlServer versionControl = tfsServerConnection.VersionControl; LabelResult [] results = versionControl.DeleteLabel(labelName, labelScope); or labelList.AddRange(versionControl.QueryLabels( null , null , null , false , item.ServerItem, VersionSpec .Latest)); But I found my self in a situation where I only have the LabelId or The ChangeSetNumber for that label. Thans! Alan D. Scheinkman Do you mean that VersionControlLabel LabelId Property is useless The issue was that VersionControlServer.DeleteLabel expects labelName and label ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Xbox live vision libraries

  i was reading on the gesturetek website that they are releasing the libraries for the xbox live vision camera to registered xdk developers. will they release it to members of the xna creators club too, or is it just for the big shot developers i would be really interested in making a game using the camera. Access to xbox live vision camera has been available in the XDK since August. Wouldn't be surprised if access was already available for it, but they're probably waiting until there are drivers for Windows before they release given most people here will be beta testing on Windows over their Xbox360 itself for a while. ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET encourages poor coding?

  The more I look at .NET error handling, and how to deal with it, the more frustrating it gets. Take this class for example.   It has a single boolean property.   You have to know on which side of the call an error will be raised… by the caller or the callee… well here’s a prime example.    Say you have to read data from somewhere like a text file and you cannot ensure the format of the data is proper.   Well, you cannot depend on a property to check that data for you if you strongly type the property. Read the orange comment to see what I mean, and please let me know how you deal with this situation since to me it appears to require horrible program design.     Public Class ...Show All
