• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. VC# Problem!!

  Hi,I want to install XNA game studio but I m using Visual Studio 2005 Professional but It needs express edition... How can I use XNA with Visual Studio 2005 Professional You can install Game Studio Express side by side with Visual Studio. Once you do that, you can use either for your development. In VS Pro, you will need import the Microsoft.Xna dlls. You can only create the custom xna project files in GSE though, and the proj files are not compatible between the two. ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX Performance Issue with TOPCOUNT Using Calculated/Derived by Time Specific Members

  I am new at The MDX game and need some help. I have the following MDX that executes a wee bit to slow when I specify one of the following members (See MDX below) [Measures].[Prio Shp Unt], [Measures].[Unit Variance], [Measures].[Prio Cst Ttl], [Measures].[Prio Awp Ttl], [Measures].[BM Variance] in the TOPCOUNT statement. I have arrived at the conclusion that the problem is because I speicfy a period at the member selection that is different to the period on my where clause. Now the problem is that both the periods are user driven and can be anything from current back for the last three years. In other words the users have the option to specify which two periods they want to compare. Also the TOPCOUNT measure is user driven and can be ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS OLE_DB Command Error

  All, I'm using a OLE_DB Command which inserts row by row into a table. I have a trigger firing to process business logic. One part of the logic is to raise an error back to the OLE-DB Command to allow the error handling flow to call a Script Task to write back to the original table that this row has fail on insert. However, I get this error message and my error handling branch does not fire. [Header Table Command [262]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available.

• SQL Server Start Debug button loading all packages

  I have a project with 48 packages. When I press the green button for Start Debug, it seems like Integration Svcs. is re-loading or some type of validation occurs (screen flashes with each package being highlighted in solution manager) for all packages in the project before executing the specific package. Also, If I close all the packages except one that is to be executed and press the green start debug button, all the packages are loaded before executing the specific package. There is always a delay before the actual package is executed when using the green start debug button. If I right click on the specific package in solution manager and execute it, the package is executed immeadiately without any delay. I did not have this iss ...Show All

• SQL Server Totals (or Sum) in a Function or View

  I have the following data in a table: Item Qty 1 1 1 -1 2 3 2 -1 2 -1 Using a function, how can I code it so that I get the following: Item Qty 1 0 2 1 Also, if a Qty does equal 0 (as in item 1), can I use a >0 in the Criteria field of the resultant expression to remove it from the Function results Hi, You can put a filter to your results after grouping by using the "HAVING" clause. This will help you remove the 0 summed results. select item, sum(qty) from item_table group by item having sum(qty) > 0 Eralper http://www.kodyaz.com ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to: indicate changed value in DataGridView?

  Hi, In a DataGridView I need to indicate cells having a value changed by the user. At the moment I use the CellValueChanged event to set the cell font to bold upon a change of value: private void dataGridView_CellValueChanged( object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e) { DataGridViewCell cell = dataGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex]; cell.Style.Font = new Font (dataGridView.Font, FontStyle .Bold); } However the cell should also revert to normal (not bold) if the user happens to restore the original value. Where do I find the original value to compare with Is there a better way Note: the DataGridView's DataSource property is set to a DataTable loaded from a database. Your help will be much apprec ...Show All

• .NET Development Out of memory exception (c#, .net 2003, large images)

  Hi, I am developing an application (c#, .Net 2003, Framework 1.1) that deals with large images. The application captures multiple image frames and stitch them up into a large hige-res image. We are looking at 50+ frames and sometimes more than 100 frames of 1024x768 color images. I am also using double buffers for edit purposes. To get an idea of what this application does: beyond the image acquisition and stitching, it is very similar to Paint.Net ( http://www.getpaint.net/index2.html ) in providing tools to draw on top of the image. The program is hitting out of memory exceptions -- sometimes even with smaller images. Documentation on LOH seems to explain this observation well, especially with memory fragmentation a likely cause of ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How does the OverlayIconIndex property of class BaseHierarchyNode work(TFS related)

  I'm assuming that the index would point to the same imagelist as that used for the display icon of the node but this seems not to be the case. Furthermore I'm guessing that provided I could get this function to work the icon at the index would be overlayed on the main Icon. Sort of like the short cut overlay icon. Am I right in my assumptions and can some one show me how to use the property. Thanks. Hi Morten, Can you please verify that this is still an issue If so, let me know and I'll find someone to provide help. Thanks, -Matt ...Show All
