• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A message for the XNA team...

  Could I just take this opportunity to wish all of the XNA team a happy holiday / Merry Christmas (Shawn - hope you made it back into 'old blighty' through all the fog). Thank you for all of the hard work the your team has put in, so that we could have such a cool product to play with over the holidays. I can almost imagine what it would be like to be a 10 year old finding an XBox and creators club membership under the Christmas tree - I can still remember the thrill of finding a Sinclair ZX81 there and all the pleasure it brought... All too often as professional software engineers we loose sight of all of that, with the daft level of pressure, expectation (and overconsumption of caffeine!) that is prevalent now. F ...Show All

• SQL Server Testing failover

  How do I test failover to point to the mirrored database instead of the principal without having to stop the primary instance I would like to just bring the mirrored database on the primary instance to an offline status and see that the same database on the mirrored instance getting activated as the primary. This does not happen if I try to put the database on the primary server "offline" as it complains that any database that is being mirrored cannot be taken offline. On the Principal server, go into the mirroring properties of your principal database and click on the 'failover' button. This manually initiates a failover, and if it works correctly your mirrored database will assume the role of ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development DirectAnimation

  Hi folks, I've recently had to update my web site with some simple text at the bottom of one of the pages. The page itself contains some graphic animation using the DirectAnimation (danim.dll) dll via javaScript.
