• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. bitmap font messing up models?

  When i put in code for bitmap fonts (every implementation i can find and even an attempt of my own) it messes up the test model that i have displaying. I'll try to get screenshots soon, but to give you an idea... He is viewed at a 45 degree angle from HIS left. and the problem is that some polys are missing, and his right leg(the "back" one) is visible in front of the left ( the "front" leg). But this doesnt happen when i dont have the font drawing on screen. Incompatibility between 3d and 2d possibly How would you guys fix this if you dont have this problem, code examples of how you did it would be amazing! See here . ...Show All

• .NET Development Sudden unexpected CLR error

  I have a client running several winforms application that I developed for him in VS2005 using the.NET v2.0 framework. Yesterday, all of the applications suddenly stopped working, giving him the following error: ".NET Framework initialization error. Unable to fin a version of the runtime to run this application" Clearly something has gone wrong. We have tried repairing and re-installing the runtime--no luck. We have looked in the registry, and he seems to have the correct version installed and referenced (v2.0.50727), but still, no luck. Does anyone have any ideas what might cause this Thanks in advance. -Kevin Kevin, Try running http://www.sysinternals.com FileMon on the br ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Config Properties as Dependancy Properties?

  What is the best way to get .config values into my activities My initial thoughts are to create DependencyProperties which I set via AppSettings in the Workflow, and just bind them to my Activity properties. Is there any way to bind directly to them I guess this will also apply to Web Services, how the WSDL url is dynamically changed during deployments etc. Thanks, Dave There's no config to activity binding if that's what you're wondering. The app.config is app-level visible and can be accessed anywhere. If this is the visibility you're looking for, then this is exactly how you achieve it. Your activities can access the contents of the config through System.Configuration APIs and do what they please with it. Does this ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with querry performance locally vs. network

  Hi, I work on speed-up our company SQL Server 2000. I reconstructed one querry and test it on client computer (other than server). There was no profit. I was surprised :(. I supposed several times speed-up. Next I run old and new querry directly on our SQL Server machine. The result was proper - new (after modifications) querry takes 2,5 times less time than previous. Ok, question: why there wasn't profit of modification from client computer I thougth that reason is slow network. So I copy from client computer file of weight 80MB to server. This takes 10seconds. Result of my querry is 35MB and it takes 17 seconds on client computer and 6 seconds directly from server. Best regards, Walter Luszczyk ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is an Xbox Live connection required to play games on the 360?

  I don't plan on deploying my project(s) to the 360 anytime soon, but am wondering if an Xbox Live connection is required to run the XNA Game Launcher. If I deploy my game while the Xbox is connected to Live and then proceed to disconnect (say, if moving the system to another location where a network connection is unavailable), will I still be able to run the XNA Game Launcher This question is more out of curiosity, because I doubt I will ever not be connected to Live unless due to a network problem. You must be connected to Live in order to run the XNA Game Launcher. If you become disconnected, the XNA Game Launcher will notify you and exit back to the dashboard. --Stephen ...Show All

• .NET Development Garbage Collection never collects garbage from generation 2 (finally resulting in OutOfMemory exception)

  Hi, I have been searching the net for many hours trying to solve my problem. Since many questions regarding the GC are answered here I hope you can help me. We have built an web application based on ASP.NET (v1.1), the enterprise library (ie caching and logging blocks) and a custom framework. The problem is that the w3wp.exe process keeps growing and growing untill it recycles around 600 MB. When monitoring the heaps I discovered that the heap basically only grows, expect for some small memory releases now and then. I used windbg to analyse a memory dump (created on the moment of recycling). It seems that many objects reside in the generation 2 heap while not having any references to other objects. There are for instance 2000 dataset objec ...Show All

• SQL Server Interesting custom functionality in Reports ... highlighting?

  Hello, I have a report of processes which either go into a Log table or an Error log table. They also have start / finish datetimes and a timespan value. So I want to report the process elapsed time or the error condition, depending on which table the process finished up in. I then compare the elapsed time to the timespan and then show either a red flag (errored) green flag(worked within timespan) or yellow flag(worked but ran over allotted time) depending on what happened. Is this possible I think it would be easy for me to get the info I want into a dataset using .net code but how do you link that in with SSRS Any help appreciated, Thanks.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Collision Detection With Bezier Curves

  Hi, I'm currently making a small 2D game in XNA Game Studio Express. It involves a player moving around a terrain and being able to collide with it. Nearly all the graphics and settings in my game are user generated so this allows for everything to be quite customisable. For collision detection the user specifies paths made of Bezier curves which are stored in a file. The game reads this file and stores a number of points on the curves in an array. The player is also made of Bezier curves that are converted into points: This shows how I want collision detection to happen; if any of the lines that make up the player intersect with any of the lines that make up the terrain, then a collision has occurred. Once a collision has occurred two t ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS performance

  Hi, I have 4 execute packages say A, B, C, D. These packges contains packages for data transfer in turn. Package A - 15 packages Package B - 15 packages Package C - 20 packages Package D - 20 packages When i run these packages one at a time in the order A, B, C, D then the execution time is around 17 mins. If I make a parent package and put A, B, C, D in sequence in it, executing this parent package increases the execution time to arnd 50 mins. Pacakge A, B, C, D doesnot run in parallel. They run one at a time. So i was wondering why the there is so much time difference. Please let me know if theres some configuration settings to make the parent package efficient.
