  I have downloaded the trial version of Visual Studio 2005 twice. Each time it downloaded as an image file. Trying to open the file fails. There is no response at all. Do I need to download an installer According to the MS website, launching the file should bring up an installation wizard but this doesn't happen. What gives The problem at present is that simply attempting to download  results in a 1.13 KB (1,165 bytes) IMG file, instead of a 2Gig file. This is a problem with Microsoft's site...I've tried it on remote computers all over...same deal   Try downloading Visual Studio Pro 2005 90-day trial - you'll see ...Show All

• .NET Development cannot get web application service

  When I try to add a new SqlDataSource and click 'Configure...' I get an error message "cannot get web application service" and then it won't let me click 'New Connection' to setup the connection string. Any thoughts Thanks in advance. I'm in middle of something right now but thought I'd post this anyway. I'm new to vs and microsoft and have been trying to ramp up with the masses (coming from a j2ee/oracle background). What I (think I) figured out was that sqlexpress is different from a full blown sql server. I seem to recall that there were 2 options for connecting to database and one was to go to file system to locate the sql server file.  I believe that I was successful at doing this. I downloade ...Show All

• .NET Development Class diagram architecture question

  Is it a standard practice to have an abstract parent class for the sole purpose of grouping a particular set of classes There is no methods, members or anything in the class. Here's an example of what I'm trying to ask: Say I have Superclass called RobotPart, and a class derived from RobotPart called Physical. Both of these classes have their own properties and methods. I was wondering if it was conventional to have two derived classes of Physical called Structural and Sensor, neither of which have any properties, methods, members or anything, other than a constructor that passes variables back up to Physical. Of course these classes would be abstract, and would not allow instantiation. I agree with declaring ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Tempo Sync

  Hi, As a programmer of DirectMusic, I'm somewhat dissapointed with the inflexibility of the XACT Engine. While I know it does exactly what it's meant to do, is there any chance that future releases will enable us to synchronise samples from the wave banks with other audio. Say i might want to bring in a strings section after 4 bars over a back ground sample that continously loops. Then say another piece to layer after 20 bars. I appreciate the idea is to have the sound designer deal with whats what but it'd be good to have a little bit more flexibility for the programmer. Also I appreciate that this could be recorded as a single shot but the memory overheads are surely reduced this way. Thanx ;) ...Show All
