• Visual Studio Team System Merge Changeset Question/Suggestion

  Recently I have been having to merge changesets between 2 branches in our source control using Team Explorer (VS2005), and have been encountering some difficulties in doing it. Now I realise that I might not be using the correct method, but I haven't found another yet :) And apologies if this has already been addressed, I did have a search through the forums for another thread on this topic, but might have missed it. Anyway, what we generally do in our release cycle, is once we have branched off a release, we continue working in our main branch, and periodically merge over some of our changes to the release branch (bug fixes etc). Using Team Explorer, we right click on the tree view, and choose Merge. We then select 'Merge ...Show All

• Visual Basic overload and override

  This is a general guestion. I think I understand overload and override when used separately. Use Overload when base class and derived class methods have same name, different arg lists. Override when same name, same arg list. Can someone explain the meaning of Overload Overrides used together. MS uses the combination quite a bit and I don't understand it well enough to know if I should be using the two together in cases where I have been using one or the other separately. It is overiding the base class method and providing and overloaded signature to that method. Override is applicable in base/derived class situations (and would be required for methid which MustOverride has been specified ). overload is often not actually requi ...Show All

• Visual C++ Help with multiThread errors

  Hello, I am trying to create two threads such that Thread-1 runs every 20milliseconds and Thread-2 runs all the time. Thread-2 is basically preempted or suspended till Thread-1 completes operation and again gets resumes operation. I am new to using threads, but based on some sample code I have managed to create threads. But I don't know how to schedule them in the above fashion. Its necessary that the Thread-1 runs absolutely every 20ms. I was trying to use the Sleep function but it somehow doesn't give deterministic Sleep times. Could anyone suggest how I can schedule the threads in the above fashion. Thank you, Suraj. FirstOfAll for Scheduling you can rely on WindowsAPI s to make the Thread 1 Highest Pr ...Show All

• Visual C++ Setting Up OpenGL

  Hello! After struggling for way to many hours, I give up. I can't find a way to set up an OpenGL project in Visual C++ Express Edition. I'm following an OpenGL book, but it's pretty useless if you can't compile anything.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Experience?

  Well, I have done a little C++ but no C# and I'm wondering if it would help having a certain amount of experience. So can you guys tell me how much experience you had programming and if I would need to learn some C# first. If you have a good book or site that can help that would be great too. Hopefully I'll be able to start programming an XNA game right away with what I already know. Hello! Please don't jump into it with out learning the language fully as you will just make thing's more difficult, C# does have simularity's to C++ but you can not put aside knowledge or for that matter experiance.

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 - How to create multiple password policies for SQL authenticated IDs?

  We have a need to have separate password policies for different groups of logins. For example: Those IDs that have greater privileges should be rquired to have more complex passwords that expire more frequently than IDs with lesser privileges. It appears to me that SQL Server pulls the password policy from the default Active Directory domain group. Is there a way to create/utilize multiple policies for SQL Server authenticated IDs Thanks for your assistance. Currently, Windows only supports one domain policy. You may want to ask on a Windows forum to see if there are any planned changes in this area. For your reference, the password policy in SQL Server enforces the Windows password policy, leve ...Show All
