• Visual Studio Reference from one DSL metamodel to another

  Hi, How can I reference from my metamodel to element from another metamodel For example, SDM (is based on old version of DSL), you can inherit or reference on elements from imported metamodels, but they implements it inside SDM. Probably, in the current version of the DSL you have implemented this as DSL functionality May be if all referenced metamodels are loaded to Store it solves some problem, but how does it works for Designer, for instance Evgeny Popov In the V1 release, we've amended the supplied directive processor to correctly span a transaction across multiple uses of itself in one text template. However, this won't make the dsldesigner itself any happier with the multiple files in this rel ...Show All

  OK , I have looked and still can't find the right stuff. SO I am working on this project, that takes an XML record and displays only the parent node in the treeview.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Commercial Game Development like Age of Empires or Rise of Nations!

  Dear reader, Thank you for your interest in this thread. I am a software developer and own a meduim sized company but I basically concentrate on Application Programming and Web Development on .Net framework. My knowledge regarding Game Development is limited. But I now have been given the opportunity to develop a game on the above lines for the Windows OS. And this chance could be a really good one for my firm. I wanted to know if a commercial game on the lines of Age of Empires can be fully developed using Directx Sdk. Is this possible By what we read about XNA Express and future XNA Professional the code written on Directx SDK can be migrated to XNA. Obviously XNA Express will not allow a developer to develop a commercial ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Managed DirectX Sprites: Is it possible to light them?

  Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to apply Direct3D lights to sprites constructed using the Sprite helper class in Managed DirectX Since the class creates a quad for the sprite, I would have thought it possible to light the quad or rather the quad's texture. I have tried adding a light to my sprite scene and have tried doing this both before and after drawing the sprites. However, I cannot seem to get the lights to work. I have used the following code: // This is in my initialise section: m_Direct3DDevice.RenderState.Lighting = true; m_Direct3DDevice.RenderState.ZBufferEnable = true; // This is in my render loop: m_Direct3DDevice.Clear(Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.ClearFlags.Target, Color.Black, 1.0f, 0); m_Direct3DDevice.BeginScene(); ...Show All

• SQL Server Can you do this?

  We know that when we upload an .rdl file (xml) to the report server database the file gets broken up in different sections and becomes part of the system. I can do a report from the db tables and find out the path, the frequency of hits, rendering time etc. We also know that we can extract the file back into an .rdl format to do further edit and look at the queries used to generate the results. My question is... Is there a way to do a report from the db tables that will show me the queries I created in the datasets of the file without extracting it back to an rdl Firstly, I do not appreciate the tone of your posts. With that attitude don't expect people to help you even if they know the answer ...Show All

• Visual Basic Copy To Toolbox

  Hi, When copying code (Ctrl+C), the text entries go to the toolbox. The entries go under the tab that I last clicked. There is no apparent limit to the number of entries (I stopped counting after the first hundred). When I try to reset the toolbox, the IDE crashes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I even tried removing manually ( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/907965 ). I use Norton Ghost for backups. I restored from an image made before the original installation, reinstalled, and still having the same problems. I am using VS 2005 Pro with SP1 applied. Any suggestions ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why intellisense sees the referenced class but compiler doesn't?

  Hi, I am confused and need help here. I have a C++.Net project that contains two files. One is a C program imported into C++.Net as un-managed code (say, it is program A) and the other contains a managed C++.Net class (program B). They all compiled and ran fine when I tested them. My problem comes when I try to access a method of program B from program A. I keep getting a compile error that says "error C2653: 'MyClass' : is not a class or namespace name" at the line that program A trying to access program B's class. Here, 'MyClass' is the name of the class in my program B. What's more confusing though is that when I code it in program A, the intellsense can give me the right information about the class I need in program ...Show All

• Visual Studio Quirky Debugger with VS 2005 SP 1 Beta

  Has anyone else noticed that the debugger seems a little quirky with VS 2005 SP 1 Beta with respect to debugging multiple threads I find if I'm debugging a second thread it's really slow and sometimes does not work--often seeing ThreadAbortException when the Autos or Locals windows are visible. Okay, I've managed to narrow it down. It seems to occur with asynchronous delegates and debugging the callback while executing on the background thread. I originally noticed the problem with Asynchronous IO callbacks, which I assume are invoked via asynchronous delegates; but I can reproduce it by directly using asynchronous delegates. For me, this is a blocking issue with SP1 Beta. Here's code to reproduce it (starting from a new C ...Show All
