• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Performance and Garbage Collector Monitoring under Windows?

  Hello I noticed some people on the forums used the "XNA Framework Remote Performance Monitor for Xbox360" to get data about what the Garbage Collector does and other information while running the game. The documentation also mentions to debug code running on the xbox. My question is: How do I get the same type of information under Windows Is there any tool available I've succesfully used PIX from the DirectX SDK for debugging graphics problems, but that's only for graphics. Any help would be appreciated. I have just used the desktop CLR profiler through perfmon, and I'm pleased with what I've seen. Thanks for the responses. ...Show All

• SQL Server Limiting Number of Items Displayed in Report

  ey there, quick question... is there any way to limit the number of items displayed in a single page say i want to display up to 10 items, and then the rest of the items are then displayed on the next page any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks! Tim It's possible if you group on an expression rather than a field: nest your table inside a list control in the properties of the list click "Edit Group Details..." set expression to : =Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/10) in the expression, 10 represents the rows per page so you could make this parameter driven if you want to force to a new page then check the "Page Break After" check box, otherwise you'll get multiple tables appeari ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CTP7: Schema Comparison - DEFAULT ((0)) versus DEFAULT (0)

  A user imports a db schema and then compares the imported schema with the current database. Differences are reported related to DEFAULT. The user clicks "write updates", then "refresh" -> Differences are reported related to DEFAULT. Hi, I still have this problem, even though I am up to service release 1, and I have ignore whitespace and ignore constriant and index names checked.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. "Use of unassigned local variable" error on Xbox360 but not Windows

  Anyone know why the compiler produces an error when the following code is compiled in an Xb0x360 project but not when it is compiled on a Windows project public void GetTileRect( int tileX, int tileY, out Rectangle tileRect) { Rectangle myRect; myRect.X = tileX * tileWidth; myRect.Y = tileY * tileHeight; myRect.Width = tileWidth; myRect.Height = tileHeight; tileRect = myRect; } I get a "Use of unassigned local variable 'myRect'" when assigning it to tileRect. It's not a big deal, I can get around it by simply using "myRect = new Rectangle()". I'm just wondering why it works in one case but not the other. The same compiler is used for ...Show All

• .NET Development Read Text file and allow to be opened for writing

  I would like to scan a log file in read only mode w no locking. I have tried with FileStream, AssignFile and even CopyFile. My issue is that there is a process running that needs to write to the file which may be during the time I am reading. I have the file open in fmOpenRead or fmShareDenynone and have no issues with opening. However, the app that needs to write to the file errors out w 'Cannot open log file C:\XXX.log' -- it's trying to open the same file in fmOpenReadWrite or fmShareCompat.. any ideas (I can't change the code for the app that's writing to the log)   try     fFileStreamOne := TFileStream.Create( fFileName, fmOpenRead or fmShareDenyNone );     fFileStreamTwo := TFileStream.Create( ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DirectShow replacement on the way for DirectX?

  According to this site near the bottom, it suggests that DirectShow is going to have a replacement for the DirectX SDK. Is this in the works still http://www.toymaker.info/Games/html/gdce_-_xna.html DirectShow is no longer considered to be part of DirectX. It was moved out of that SDK and into the platform SDK. While it may be that they will collect DirectShow and the other dozen or so a/v technologies into some type of media sdk (which is what I read that article to say), I have no reason to believe that they will. And I have no information regarding any replacement for DirectShow any time in the near future. ...Show All
