• Visual Studio How to make a Domain Relationship visible in a class's shape on DSL designer surface

  Hi, I whant to add a reference from Relationship to Domain class. As I undestand to to that I have to see my Domain Relationship in a class's shape on a DSL designer surface. Could somebody help me Evgeny I found some way: open .dsldefinition file in Xml Editor add <BaseRelationship> to Domain Relationship and after that it will appear as a class. So I guess I could add a reference in Xml editor and affect will be the same. The problem is: designer does not support making relationship for Domain Relationship when it's shown like link between Domain Classes and also does not allow you to make inheritance on a designer. So when you jhave done it manually and designer try to show it, it has to s ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS 3.0 Beta 2 Crash srchadmin.dll

  Hi! Every time I try to go into the filetypes in the Advanced option dialog WDS crashes on me. I get up a box saying "RUNDLL An exception occurred while trying to run "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "srchadmin.dll"". I used to have WDS 2.5 with some extra IFilters but I removed all that before I installed the beta. Thanks. Matt I think I found a possible explanation to this. I tried to install IE7 but it wouldn't let me so I checked the log and it said something about some file extensions it wanted to change but couldn't so I checked my registry and by some unknown reason I had several keys that I couldn't do anything with. The permissions on these had change and I couldn't change anyt ...Show All

• SQL Server AVG MDX Function

  I have been trying to solve a calculated measure using both the sum/count methods and the avg function, but neither is working for the result that I want. We are trying to come up with an average course score based on an average test score. Example: user takes two tests (test1 twice for 50% and 100% - avg = 75% test2 once for 100%) and the course average would be (75+100)/2 = 87.5%. In our MDX we are getting (50+100+100)/3 = 83.33% instead. We do have a hierarchy set based on course-->test-->test iteration where test iteration is each individual score. The overall average works the way you would typically thing with the sum/count method, but not based on how we want it to calculate AVG(AVG(test1 scores) + AVG(Test2 scorces)). I t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Bitmap image problem - empty spaces at edges

  Hello, I am having a problem creating a bitmap using GDI+ and Drawing2D, where the resulting image is not filling the entire width and height of the specified area. Basically there is a tiny gap appearing on the rightmost column and the bottom row. This is a problem for me as I want the image to be tileable, and with empty gaps this wont be possible. Here is a zoomed in screenshot of the bottom right corner showing the problem: http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php image=fillproblempn9.jpg This problem may be due to the smoothing or compositing mode that Im using, or maybe it is these combined with my lineargradient brush. This is the first time that Im using any System.Drawing functionality so I might be doing something blatantl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can't Uninstall Chris

  I have Win XP current patches. I had VS05 Standard installed on my desktop. Just out of the blue over the weekend it stopped working. I could open it up but when I tried to open my project it just hung ( overnight ). I killed the process, rebooted the machine; nothing worked. I next tried to uninstall, and that wouldn't work either. I tried the manual 1000 step process, I could unistall Sql Server and other components but when I got the VS05 the unistall just sort of hung. I'd wanted to get this back up. I reinstalled my OS and then reinstalled VS05 and it worked from Sunday till today. Now the same thing again... Logs, what logs ... Any ideas do you have automatic updates turned on I wonder if VS SP1 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Best way to extract vertex/index data from Model loaded via Content pipeline

  I have a mesh loaded via the content pipeline, and want to extract all the vertex/index data from it to build a physics mesh for collision. However if i try to GetData on the VB (not tried with the IB yet), I get an exception of: "You cannot call GetData on a resource that was created with ResourceUsage.WriteOnly." So is there a way to either clone the data into a non-Write-only VB so i can extract it Or some way of loading the Model in a non-writeonly way N As it turns out the solution was to completely ignoring PositionIndices. I'm only using it for static meshes, could it be indices into the bone structure or something Edit: they don't seem to be indices into the bone structure... ...Show All

  Hi, i've added a .xml file to my xna project for windows, i've set it to be an embedded resource, how i can i them read the file n e attempt i make seems to try to read a file from the hdd or from a url many thanks You need to use the System.Resources.ResourceManager class. For example, System.Resources. ResourceManager temp = System.Resources. ResourceManager ( "MyGame1.Properties.Resources" , typeof ( Resources ).Assembly); object obj = ResourceManager.GetObject( "foo" , resourceCulture); byte [] myFileCalledFoo = (( byte [])(obj)); Since you embedded an XML file, it was probably embedded as a string rather than an unknown file (which is byte[]).

• Visual C++ Creating and deploying a Hello World console application

  I recently installed Visual C++ Express Edition on my computer and wrote a simple Hello World program: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { char c; printf("hello world\n"); c=getchar(); return 0; } The .exe file is huge (it is 5K) and it won't run on my other Windows box that does not have VC++ EE installed on it. Does anybody know if there is a way to create a simple Hello World .exe that can run on any Windows machine Thank you. 1) Yes: all C and C++ programs depend on the C and C++ runtimes and you need to have these files installed on any machine on which you wish to run your applications. 2) No: this is a requirement with all vers ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development backgroundImage parameters

  The CSS used in iHD seems to be a bit different than CSS2.0. First question: Does the HD specification cover style syntax and definitions Second question (and example of my confusion): One of the samples posted to these forums includes a backgroundImage assignment with multiple items. I'm guessing this is to define different images per state. style:backgroundImage="url('BUTTON_T1_0.PNG') url('BUTTON_T1_1.PNG')" What is the signature for this style declaration Thanks. Yes, defs = definitions. g = "group"; you can put (eg) three animate and two set elements in a group and reference them with one use="IDREF" . ...Show All
